hello and welcome to Random Card Appreciation Time, where we randomly appreciate a card! I suppose!

this may turn into a series but don't take my word for it

this episode's feature: Neo Fantasy Online Sayo!

I adore the lighting & colouring in this card. all the other cards in this set are on the brighter, more saturated side, which is cool and I love it but the blue in this works SO well. the contrast between the browns & yellows in the background & her blue ... everything makes everything stand out so much without being too much. her skin in particular is of a really nice shade and so is her hair, everything blends together perfectly.

I love her determined face & stance compared to the others - Lisa is having fun, Rinko is relatively relaxed (though still determined), & Ako's very into her demon schtick but Sayo isn't playing any games (ironically). Sayo is here to fight and to win. everything is so dynamic without there needing to be some big movement involved.

it's just a wonderful card and easily my favourite from this set, made even more amazing by her being a 3*. how dare she
