IMO, if Rias's Scale Mail didn't have that half-half look (Upper half looking like a proper armor and lower half looking like a bikini) it'd have been a lot better. The parts were cool, but the whole thing just kinda gave the feeling they were arguing whether it should be proper armor or a skimpy bikini-like armor and decided to use a bit of both.
