Now they look like Mikoto. They're supposed to. More importantly, that Sister looks alive. Compared to that other version... looking at those eyes, I could understand how someone could say that they were just dolls, and justify killing them. That older version looks... empty. Lifeless. The Sisters aren't Mikoto, but Mikoto and Touma and others still come to recognize them as people, don't they? Real, living humans. Making them look human on the screen is a vital part of making that feeling reach us as viewers. Making them look just like Mikoto means that it is going to hurt more when we see them suffer and die. It's supposed to. They could have made them clones of anyone if they just wanted to show how evil Academy City was. The whole point of making the Sisters clones of Mikoto was to make it hit us harder when we see what's happening to them, and for that to have full effect, the more they resemble her, the better.
