Interesting music style choices. Ichirins theme sounds like something out of the old Sonic games.

I like the new themes and the new artstyle is great. Miko no longer has random bishonen sparkles in all her portraits though, which is a pretty big mistake. Do we have a translation for Kasen's theme yet? I know it's "[something] battlefield" but I can't translate the Kanji.

Also, maybe it was because I wasn't paying too much attention but did all of the characters not have their gimmicks from HM? Which sounds like a pretty good idea to me because some of them were kind of bad.

Most have new gimmicks, which honestly just seem to be sort of just attacks that change up how they play a tiny bit. Miko isn't Powered By Popularity anymore, apparently during one of her attacks your opponent gets asked if they want to power up Miko's melee attacks or her projectiles. Kokoro doesn't shift between religions mid-fight (since it looks like the religions are gone entirely,) and instead she has a once-per-round counter attack.

I'm pretty sure Futo's plate-breaking buffs are still a thing at least, though. They were kind of integral for her to Not Completely Suck.

Karen's theme is literally Flower Valley's Battlefield. Rephrase it as appropriate, I guess.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Keep in mind that Kasen is the "flower hermit" (also roses from Ibaraki) so it just kind of fits into her pre-existing themes.

It's new. Apparently it's part of her M.I.B. thing: she throws a ball containing a fake alien she's "captured".

Hartmann's Youkai Girl arranged by Kishida Kyoudan! I wonder if that means they'll be coming out with an album soon? They haven't released anything since May 2013.

e: and right after that is an arrange by Sekken Ya, also absent since 2013!

It's not a fighting game character but it reminds me of Regal from Tales of Symphonia.

The kicks remind me of Hwoarang even though there's little similarity because the only fighting game I've put any time into is Tekken.

Also, I didn't realise Kishida Kyoudan did the Hartmann's Youkai Girl arrangement and that's awesome because they're great. Hopefully they'll release a new album soon.

Kaphwan was the one that immediately came to mind for me, at least. Regal is another good comparison just because I think the entire reason he was a kick-fighter in Tales of Symphonia was because he could literally kill a man with his bare hands so he vowed not to do that.

Those tracks are new, right? Because I think I'd remember themes as awesome as Marisa's and Sukuna's (they cut off Sukuna's into at the good part, shiiit). Byakuren's music is also loving amazing. Mind you, their theme songs are among the hardest to gently caress up. Futo's theme should also be good for a listen or two.

Kokoro's is the worst, it's pretty much the same thing only messier. Or maybe they just picked a really bad segment of it.
