Of course, it's never easy to stick character models (or any sort of models, like linearts) for animation (especially if they're heavy on details), sometimes they might turn out better, or worse than what is seen at first. Mecha animes are usually very notoriously known in this aspect, but of course, I got to give credit for Sunrise for making Okawara-designed Gundams better than his linearts in animation, although the same could not be said about anything Katoki.
