I dunno why people bash her slutty attire. I love it.
Different strokes for different folks. Some people are more vocal about what they dislike than others. Although people tend to be more vocal about things they have strong opinions on as well.
I'm personally not a fan of the miniskirt and the large amount of cleavage, but that's my taste in general and isn't restricted to my opinion of just her.
In terms of overall skin exposure, I don't think it's much different from the Nagato-class' outfits. It's just the exposure of the chest area is significantly greater, while the waist is more covered.
If anything, its not slutty and American enough. She needs her panties to be the stars and strips along with a bald eagle perching on her shoulder.
Oh, I just had a great idea, what if the American version of Akashi was made to look like Rosie the Riveter? Oh, or how about Enterprise's design being a fusion between Jeanex's and Chinese Kantai Collection's? We also need English VAs in order to truly capture the accents of where they're from.
Man oh man, I'm just so happy that American ships are finally being introduced!
