After Little Witch Academia and Kill La Kill, it's safe to conclude that the big turning point in Diebuster was a planetary scale Gamba reference.
Masato Hayase, the designer behind Heisei Riders, is currently drawing Genma Taisen Rebirth.
It had two sort-of sequels, both confusingly named Mystic Ark on different consoles. Both with main character designs and illos by Yamada Akihiro, the Rahxephon and 12 Kingdoms designer who's got a great fairy tale and fantasy style.
I think the monsters were designed by the Phantasy Star guy, which is why the first boss is a Dark Falz. But along with a Cthulhu, it had some neat sci-fi fatnasy monsters. And the fighting had animations on both sides.
The same guy who designed the delicate bishounen of Gundam W also adapted already-ripped Capcom characters into further hulking, beef homunculi.
And then all the in-game chibi sprites were always in a radically different art style. Namely sprite artist Kazuko Shibuya's.
I feel like Xardion could make a good handheld port. Where they just take the mech sprites and give them decent gameplay and sound effects for a change.
Otherwise it's a waste of some Katoki Hajime mech designs.
@Sane_John Sword and evil form aside, I think she falls more under Tsarevna Alena's lineage of rowdy runaway princesses.
Also partly a parody of the show Abarenbo Shogun.
