To be fair, Musou games always use only one stun animation for all the characters (which is still something if the character is from a game where there aren't stuns like the DoA girls). Hyrule Warriors giving each character an unique one was the exception to the rule more than anything (though some characters share animations, such as Zelda and Twili Midna). What bothers me is that lately the games have been just discarding stuns altogether. Is such a waste given the amount of cute girls in some games, with Fate/Extella was the same (especially given the game had status effects save for stuns).

It also reminds me of Star Ocean Anamnesis. A crossover Star Ocean game from all 5 installments, beautiful 3D graphics, uses the Star Ocean 5 battle system (where stuns were finally given proper animations for each character), characters from all games with gorgeous updated redesigns for the girls (compare Sophia in SO3 to her SOA look) aaaand they removed the stun status. Such a waste. >_<
