To be honest, most of the Judgement redesigns were mediocre. I can get that the character design is done by Death Note's artist, but that doesn't excuse why the characters look like rejects from that manga. At least the Pokemon GO designs were more original and didn't resemble preexisting Fire Emblem characters (well except for Spark).
Simon is Light Yagami in BDSM gear, Maria is a Loli version of Misa Amane, the Grant above is just L as a zombie pirate, Death became a rejected Shinigami design, and so on. For me, Judgement is easily one of the worst Castlevania games in existentce with a broken system for a fighter.
