This thread reminds me of the Albw reveal reaction.
Crazy then crazy now.

Pretty much for me. Art aint going to keep me from their games.

Listening to the description of this game in the blogs had me salivating, seeing the screens and art is making me vomit.
What a game.
What a game.
It's the art style I don't like, at all.

The art style looks fine to me. Not my favorite in the world, but it's pretty charming. Furthermore, 3DS screenshots pretty much never do games justice, so I'm fairly confident this will look good when I'm playing it.

Yep. I love all their games. And with Advance Wars Days of Ruin's composer, I LOVE everything about this game but the art. I will make this grow on me, becuase the game just sounds too good.

I link to the stuff for bandwidth purposes. The box is 4MB, I also did the same for the screens being bmp so every bit helps, just trying to be considerate. 
Smash Bros. and Hoenn Pokemon remakes are already towing the line. I don't really see how whatever they could have possibly announced tonight (Metroid, Majora's Mask) would "save" the 3DS.

This game would probably be better if it was claymation.

"WE WANT NEW SRPG FROM THESE DEVS"
Devs make new SRPG with style to get more people playing.
"UGH THE PICTURES GAME SUX 1/10"
You buy sRPG games from IS for amazing gameplay. Yeah, the art style is pretty eh, but the actual game is what matters.

But it is.
I am, but I've also seen good 3DS screens. Likewise I think Smash 3DS's cel shading looks rough on the 3DS - won't stop me from dropping a hundred hours on it.
Maybe make a new IP with good art?

Yup and for this reason, I'm very interested.

This definitely looks like there was an edict handed down to "make it look American". Unfortunately, it's an extremely cliche, lowest-budget-cartoon-network-show "American" look.
I don't think anyone is being hypocritical by saying the art is very awkward. It really is. I'm in the camp that IS has never made a bad game. I really want to see this in motion. But their art direction does make it look like a bargain rack DS game for kids.

I disagree. A number of games used cell-shading/cartoony style graphics to make the most of the 3ds' graphics. Think about Professor Layton, Ace Attorney, etc. This game might end up looking a lot better in motion.

I take it back, the art style is growing on me. They totally nailed the comic book look, and graphically, it looks pretty damn good for a 3DS game. Still wish it looked like Valkyria Chronicles, though.
Now, the character designs. THOSE are bad.

Treehouse sold me on every game they showed yesterday and today...and tomorrow they're gonna' sell you all on this as well.
I think the art looks good, once you notice the Kirby dots (as in, the dot-pattern-based style of the legendary Jack Kirby). The dots really tie together the art design nicely. I also like the retro color scheme they're using here.
I also have a feeling that the sharply-delineated shadows will look really nice in-game and in stereo 3D.

all 3ds games have art styles. this one is just ugly.
and it sounds like most people are willing to play the game regardless of how it looks.

Fair enough.
And this. Most IS games have been really great.

Well, it's a 3ds game(that isn't resident evil), so screens...

I love the way the game sounds, but Jesus is it hideous. It not only has a horrible artstyle that looks like a cheap kids cartoon but the graphics also look like something you'd expect from a tie in with a kids cartoon. I hope they hear the criticism of the art and change it because this game is so ugly it's almost offensive.

Other than the main guy's weapon, which vaguely resembles the shape of a gun, I honestly can't tell what anyone else is holding. My eight-year old self who loved to draw stuff from Star Wars wouldn't know where to start with this.
Edit: This team looks like it leapt from the pages of an iHOP kid's menu.

If they were gonna reinforce the whole comic book style with the dots then they probably should have used them everywhere and not just the box art.
