I have to hit you for anime style. Personally, I hate it. It wouldn't be so bad for a monk I'll grant you, but a bruiser? Definitely not. I see bruiser gear - both male and female - much more akin to something you'd see out of Mad Max. Black leather and badass! Bruisers are more akin to bouncers at biker bars - IMO - than Shaolin monks. I'd love to see something a little more "post-apocalyptic" for official brusier gear.
That sort of thing is a lot more "brusier-ish" IMO.
