I love Yuji Himukai as the series character designer. But I'm not gonna lie I'd be really down if Kimura Akihiro took up the mantle for EO6. Akihiro's art and interpretation of EOU's events has really made me warm up a lot to the story mode party (because before I didn't give af about any of them besides Simon). I just find it really impressive that this adaptation has managed to improve my impression of these characters in a way ATLUS themselves couldn't (and I don't change my mind often, nor is it easy to do so).
If ATLUS ever decides to take EO in a different direction art-wise, I sincerely hope they look to Akihiro or someone similar.
Thank you for the translation (RAQUNA IN A SWIMSUIT! THAT IS WHAT EOU WAS MISSING! MY LORD SHE IS A BADDIE UNDER ALL THAT ARMOR! GIRL HAS GOT IT GOING).
