So then, am I the only one who always thought that the DOA girls looked sort of like animated blow up dolls?

A lot of people must have thought so since Tecmo decided to redesign everybody for DOA5. It's a huge improvement. That being said, DOA is really in a bind. It's like a magnet for the negative but no longer has exclusive dominion over the positives. Tekken got into the swimsuit thing recently but nobody really complains about it. All the stuff DOA does that used to set it apart is actually pretty mundane these days. But, at the same time, DOA still gets all the bad press whenever these issues arise. The series has watched other franchises take bites out of its playbook over the years while also being left to fend off the sharks whenever some charlatan chums the waters. I'm not really sure how to fix that.
