YuiNeemo

As you saw in Chun's post and my post from the maid cafe, I've acquired an Azone Yui! It was a hard sell actually. At the time when she was on sale, I didn't have any money. She is second-hand, did not have her original body and her guitar was not included. But I was able to ask for a lower, more reasonable price because of the missing details. I didn't mind as much because she would be a good pairing for my Azonyan XD The previous owner was willing to wait (plus she didn't have any other buyers) until I have enough to pay for Yui, which was way back in October 2010. I finally received Yui around the first couple of weeks of January ^^;

So her body is not even the flexible one. The knees and elbows don't bend, so she's almost like a Barbie. Her body is a Pure Neemo Advance E Type body. She can rotate at the shoulder and her hips and waist. That's about it though. The body is heavier as well, so when a friend was holding her, she thought it was heavier than Azunyan. I am buying a Flection body for her, but I won't get rid of this E Type body... You'll see why.

Her hairpins are actually a decal... Like a Gundam decal ^^; I suppose with this kind of scale, there's not much you can do with the "hairpins".

Even though she's "stiff", she can make that "OOOU!" pose. Or something like that... Oh and one of her hands is broken too... Another good reason for me to ask for a lower price.

And well, when she wants to sit down, she has to spread her legs ^^;;;

Yui asks, "would you like to see MY rice bowl?" Either that or she's doing a mocking pose :P

For some reason her lower half of her body keeps falling off... I could easily do a Zeong meme here, lol.

And here she is without her stockings. I gotta admit her feet are cute! Her legs are sexy too, so even if she is inflexible, she looks good!

And the reason why I'm keeping this E Type body... Knee pits! I should've thought of this pro even though I was disappointed when she didn't come with her original body. Nice and smooth legs!

Look at the closeup! Aren't they beautiful? :D The way they glisten in the light like that... Gorgeous!

And of course the mandatory lower angle shot... :3 Hmm... Maybe I should've Photoshopped out those joint lines.

And here she is sitting down without her stockings, lol! I think her feet's kinda fat too because her shoes were a bit stretched XD

But there is one good reason why she has her legs spread... Azunyan can sit in front of Yui, no problem ;)

And don't worry... I won't be making Yui into a fridge magnet...

*cough*

More Changes...

I wasn't going to change the layout again but Blogger and Google was messing around a lot with their template designer. Not to mention other features...

I hate to lose my corner Mikoto and the bottom corner knee pit. She looks too cool, but the template that I was using was obsolete. The comment system was broken. I keep telling it to make it embedded instead of going to another page, but it keeps failing. Google also added a feature for linking and sharing feature for Twitter and Facebook. I added it in, but it doesn't work in the old template.

But recently I found that they've improved their template designer significantly, so I thought I played around with it. Now everything's new and "fixed". New background, new header... But I was hoping I could add more Mikoto (the above picture) on the left side on the background. It looks like it wont work with my resolution though and the inconsistent background change on people's resolution. So I'll stick with the lightning background and a small Mikoto on top.

Let me know if something doesn't work or anything I can improve here and hopefully I can fix up the messy blogrolls next ^^;

EDIT: Added Saber on the right side just to make it into a "LIGHTNING" Saber... LOL!

My Little Sister's Knee Pits Can't be this Cute

Amongst other parts...

An overview of some this season's fall anime... From a different perspective ^^; For these reviews I'll be putting up the Knee-Pit-O-Meter. It scores the visibilities of knee pits in the anime, but it does not necessarily score the anime... This post is based only on the first 2 episodes of each series and it may be NSFW. Got it? Then let's begin!

My Little Sister Can't be this Cute

Knee-Pit-O-Meter -  | ) ( |  - 3/5 

Since the post title refers to this series I'll start the review with this highly anticipated show. It seems to deliver with many people talking about it every week it came out. It sure delivered for me... The knee pits were quite detailed even if there weren't too many scenes of visible knee pits.

I've heard many things about the series before and read a couple chapters of the manga, but it didn't feel like it went too far into the story. I guess I should be reading the original light novel, but with the lack of linguistic skills, that is not possible for me at the moment. The anime gave out more details than the manga did and just from watching the first 2 episodes, I felt that this is a more realistic portrayal of the otaku culture, similar to  Genshiken, rather than Nogizaka Haruka. I also had a fear of possible incest within, especially with the title; but after seeing more than the first 2 episodes, I felt that there won't be any in the foreseeable future. Unless I go look up more information about the novels that's probably more advanced in the story... Kirino is really cute, but I don't want to picture her as her brother's love interest...

Amagami SS (Second half of the Season)

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - |) (| - 2/5

Last season's knee pits loving initiator opens up with a new animation for its new opening theme song with a nice view of knee pits! Despite that regular addition of knee pits, the first 2 episodes of the new season lacked the knee pits to give it a high score. At least they were nicely detailed in some scenes...

Nanasaki Ai's arc was pretty good, but still kinda goofy in some parts. I like the show, but I still have to cringe at some of the corniness... I'm hoping Rihoko's arc can be less unrealistic. I am liking how it's told through Rihoko's perspective though.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | ~ | - 1/5

Ara! So low for such a very ecchi show! Why!? Why can't you show more knee pits???

Even with the low score, Panty and Stocking still delivers! It's like a mix of Cartoon Network's toons with Japanese wackiness that goes beyond American sensibilities! I started watching this show with a very open mind. My expectation could've gone either way, but just watching the first episode I was hooked! It was funny, dirty, inventive and imaginative! The exploding "ghost" at the end of most segments is something I look forward to, just because it's so out of place, yet it works (for me at least). I look forward to see more Panty and Stocking!

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

From one ecchi show to the next! Unfortunately it's plagued with a lot of censor blotches... But the knee pits are in full view! The picture above only shows a fraction of what's there! It definitely deserves its high score!

Seeing as I've only watched the first 2 episodes, I'm a bit iffy about the show... It felt like I don't know what's going on or what era it's supposed to be. The story seem to be in the back seat. Sure I'm thrilled at looking at the fan service, but I'm still confused at what's going on...

Otome Youkai Zakuro

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - 0/5

Nothing! All the girls are covered with their spiritual robes, so no chance of seeing any knee pits here...

But otherwise it's a pretty good show! This was the first fall anime I watched and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it even though I don't like supernatural genre that much. I had a Sakura Wars vibe when I was watching it, probably because it's in a similar era. The art style reminds me a little bit like Ouran High School Host Club or another shoujo series I can't think of right now. The first 2 episodes showed some promise, so I'm continuing to watch Zakuro and her comrades.

Fortune Arterial

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - |) (| - 2/5

It has some potential since it's based on an eroge, but for now it's lacking. There were none in the first episode!

After seeing many pictures and Dollfie Dreams of Fortune Arterial characters, I finally get to see what this is all about! It seems like another typical eroge scenario with many girls going after one guy, but the twist is always something to look for. Vampires though? Well I still give it some chance just because the animation is superb!

Shinryaku! Ika Musume

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | ~ | - 1/5

The knee pits invasion has been stopped by the invasion of Ika Musume! For a show that takes place on a beach, there seems to be few shots of knee pits...

BUT! The invasion doesn't stop there! Ika Musume is not the shiniest shell on the beach, but she doesn't fail to make me laugh at her antics! This invasion angle has been done before though... I'm reminded of Keroro Gunsou when I watched the first episode. It's so eerily similar that I thought it was the same creator. I would LOVE to see Yoshizaki Mine drawing Ika Musume though :D I just call her the moe version of Keroro Gunsou.

Kuragehime

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | ~ | - 1/5

Oh yeah baby! Show us some kneepits! Huh, what? That's a g-guy!? DESPAIR! 0/5!!!

I totally didn't know what this show was about, but once I watched it, I was intrigued by this apartment full of "nerdy" women. The girl on the left is a jellyfish fanatic, so the show is called "Jellyfish Princess". And yes, that skinny woman bending over the tub is not really a woman ^^; Definitely on my watch list. I can't really say much more because I've only seen the first episode for this particular one, but I'm still intrigued.

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

Lovely lovely knee pits! There were so many I couldn't keep up. Even the opening has one! Amazing! I'm going to say it's because SHAFT is the one animating it... As seen on Bakemonogatari...

The comedy in this show is very, very strange, but the main character, Hotori, is just so cute and funny that I couldn't help but to keep watching! It's basically about a maid cafe, but not really... An old woman trying to re-energize her business by changing it to a maid cafe. But with an employee like Hotori, I don't think she's gonna be successful... Doesn't help that they live in a small town where every business owners know everyone else.

MM!

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - |) (| - 2/5

From one of the longest title this season to the shortest... From one of the most knee pits scenes this season, to almost the least... I was expecting more with this kind of premise, but only a few... Disappointing. Is that Azusa on the top right screenshot!?

I'm almost disappointed with this show as well. The main character being a very masochistic guy is probably the reason why I'm not too keen on watching this. It was getting interesting at the end of episode 2. I may give it a chance just because of what happened in episode 2 though... But aside from the marketing blitz I saw for this series, I'm somewhat disappointed.

Iron Man

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - 0/5

Yeah... Iron Man's knee pits just doesn't count......

I'm quite a fan of Iron Man even before the movies came out. The movie really made gave him a better presence around the world. Which is why you're hearing Tony Star in Japanese. The character design is great. The computer CG is a bit iffy, but it looks like Iron Man. The story is not based on any comic book stories that I know of, so maybe that's why I'm not totally into it as much. I'm still going to watch the rest though, just because it's Iron Man.

To Aru Majutsu no Index II

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

JC Staff does not disappoint in the knee pits department! The Railgun series was FULL of knee pits! Especially Mikoto's! JC Staff knows how to detail their characters. Ok, with Index II, there were fewer, but the quality gives it a high score in the Knee-Pit-O-Meter!

The main story didn't start until the second episode and again like the previous Index show, it's loaded with many Church politico stuff that I don't really get, even if I'm of that faith... Of course all of it is just fiction so I'll just have to just pretend I know what's going on and just enjoy Touma's heroics. Yeah... I'm kind of a big fan of Touma ^^; Imagine Breaker is still an awesome power even if it makes you a level 0. Oh and I COMPLETELY forgot how cute Index is! With the addition of Rie Kugimiya's Agnes, a short-skirted, short nun (in this arc), this is very enjoyable so far! I'm glad I finished the last season so I can start watching this.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun OVA

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

Speaking of Railgun... Here are more Railgun knee pits! Not as many as I'd hoped, but it's still quality! Or maybe I'm just Mikoto biased (sees banner on top left of the blog).

This OVA is just more of Misaka Mikoto and I can't get enough! The story is a bit weak, especially the "villain". But you get to see more Kuroko's yuri antics, Saten's flipping of Uiharu's skirt and more young girls solving crimes at Academy City. It's like the Hardy Boys are turned into girls joined forces with Nancy Drew mixed with X-Men. A guilty pleasure. The premise at the beginning is interesting because Mikoto is definitely bothered and shows that even though she is powerful, it can be her weakness as well.

Star Driver

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | ~ | - 1/5

It certainly has potential but need to show more! 1 out of 5 is being generous for me...

Star Driver is one of Bones' original story animation... And if I know Bones, their stories don't make sense half or most of the time... That's the same with Star Driver. Just from the very first scene I thought it was in some kind of interdimensional island when in fact it's just some island... The designs are great though. Very beautiful background. Which is why I was confused about the setting in the beginning. When they go into the space where their mechs fight, it's almost like the last few scenes of Gurren Lagann where everything hangs in the balance as they fought the Anti-Spiral. Gorgeous! Even the mechs... Well mechs shouldn't be gorgeous in my opinion... The main mech design, Tauburn, is just... strange. There are a lot of terms to understand too. If I were to continue watching I'll be watching it mostly for the visuals and pretending to know what's going on...

Yosuga no Sora

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

If I could go beyond 5/5, I would! This anime, reeks of ecchiness, and the second episode alone there were 8 instances of knee pits alone in one minute of a particular scene (as you see below)! They even show the details even when the characters are far away!

The ecchiness of this show is bordering on actual ero anime! I mean yes, eroge gets animated for TV often, but not a lot of them keep their ero scenes in the show. I have to say I was actually shocked at how much I saw! Impressive. Most impressive! The story is another typical eroge... I mean the first episode alone showed so many girl interested in the main character, Haruka, that I was almost turned off... His twin sister included... The second portion of the show saved it for me and I'm glad I continued it. The story structure is set up in the first 2 episodes while 2 more episodes are dedicated to alternate endings that continues after the end of episode 2. So all the girls get a chance and I understand why the first episode was set up that way. Recommended... If you like ecchi ^^;

The World God Only Knows

Knee-Pit-O-Meter - | )  ( | - 5/5

Akio Watanabe's knee pits are the best! Akio Watanabe's character design can be a typical anime kind of design but his lines and curves are always detailed and thankfully it translates into the anime. I liked it so much I had to put 3 pictures of them here :D

And not just the knee pits, but this is my favourite of this season. The premise really drew me in. Someone who is good at dating sims (nay, godly!) is recruited by the demon world to track down lost souls that hide within girls' hearts. How does one catch them? Well their hearts has to be filled by someone they love. And that is what Katsuragi Keima has to do, except he's not interested in real girls... Only those in games where he can save and have a backlog of the dialogue. The situations in real life look similar to the games he's played, but there's always a twist. He manages to use win them over eventually. You'd think this is very derogatory or perhaps sad, that someone could use what he learned from gaming and apply it to real girls, but Keima seems sincere in trying to win their hearts over that you'd swear he's learning from this experience. Which is why it somewhat made me sad inside that the girls don't remember the conquest after the lost souls were captured... It's like the cherry blossoms... The fleeting moments of happiness...

I leave you with more of KamiNomi knee pits... It's quite a fall season. Gathering these screenshots took a lot of time and now that it's done, you can judge for yourself which anime you prefer to watch... If you see it through my perspective that is... So what are your favourite knee pi... I mean, your favourite anime this season? What do you look forward to every week? And which one are you going to see now after looking at this? ^^;

SEE! I'm Not the Only One!

Yes... Yes!! Crawl to your knee pits overlord! The knee pits conquer all!

Ummm.... Sorry, I got caught up in the maelstrom that is Amagami SS episode 3. The episode that has the main character, Tachibana, kissing the current "target" girl, Morishima, in the back of the knee. Ok, they didn't say knee pits, but just the back of the knee or hiza no ura. Not the term I use, but at least I found a Japanese term now!


So anyway what the heck is Amagami SS anyway? It's supposed to be an anime based on a love sim game. Not many series based on a love sim game have multiple arcs to cover all the girls, but currently that's what Amagami is doing. Kinda like the Kimi Kiss manga that Tokyopop is releasing here... But more on that later. Right now we focus on the knee pits! Or should I say "hiza no ura" now? What's better? Or maybe Popliteal Fossasism?

Anyway the part with the knee pits begins where it always begins; when the guy asks the girl to "crawl through there"...

The whole time I was watching this episode, I kept my eye out for knee pits. This is the first...

No, the knee pits aren't the ones that's surprisingly spacious...

Loli knee pits anyone? Oh and a dog too... Bestiality! Ok, not really, Tachibana goes and make some bullshit reason to kiss her behind the knee because supposedly dogs lick you there and wants to know why.

Sometimes I ask that myself, but it's just a really sexy body part, okay!? I don't need some BS reason like, "dogs lick you there, so I wanna know why". Just like those Apple Jacks commercial, "I eat what I like". Or something to that effect.

ALKGJKAFHGDJAFSOIGURIOWSJFIONGJSDLKFEWJIOFJOW!!!!11eleventyone!!!

Yes, I know the objective is the knee pits, but it kinda looks like he's about to sniff up her butt...

CHUU! I fainted.

And then commercial happened! Augh! It was long and excruciating pain waiting to see what happens next. It must've been more excruciating in Japan with the commercials in between.

And now back to our story...

Morishima: "You no good dog! Leave some for Lightning Sabre!"

So after that scene I just keep doing screenshots of knee pits...

SCREW YOUR "GORONYAN"! DON'T COVER UP MY KNEE PITS!

There were some other crap going on after the whole knee pit incident, but I don't care about them...

Okay, I lied, some of the stuff going on in this episode blew some of the fuse in my head... They had to be replaced with something wholesome... Like Seitokai Yakuindomo. A very, very wholesome show about a class president and her student council who likes to sexually abuse their only male member verbally.

Next up is the Kimi Kiss manga excerpt that I mentioned before. They're both created by Enterbrain and previously a game on the PC and PS2. The anime for Kimi Kiss still involves the girls, but they are coupled with different guys, but the manga stuck to the original concept of one guy and multiple female prospects. So far it's one volume per heroine. They are great reading and the art are stupendous! Go pick them up if you dig Kimi Kiss and Amagami.

So in Kimi Kiss the girl is the one that offered her knee... The front of the knee mind you, not behind it... Bah!

Yes, the same "puppy" reference popped up again here as well...

Although I love the art for the Kimi Kiss manga, they don't have reference to the knee pits... Why can't you be like your little sister, Amagami, and show us some knee pits love? Oh and for some reason Danbooru now has 'kneepits' tag... When I made my first post about kneepits, I was hoping to find some pictures that's been tagged with 'kneepits'. How sad I was when I found out they didn't have that tag. So whoever started to add those kneepits tag, I bow deeply to you!
