Yeah I'm coming out of an all-nighter and just want to get home here. While most clothes do cover the body, some are designed to evoke imaginations/illusions which are more powerful than seeing the naked body itself.

Then you get to some of Urushihara's clothes in his H works. Of course, he's not the only one to have made clothes of that type for characters, but his works are iconic.

Gah, oppai.
DFC is good, oppai is meh, but the middle is perfect.

mmm... I've only tried the story mode of Perfect Cherry Blossom once.
I still can't even go through stage 2 without dying once, so I'm still practicing.

Fate is more popular than Hina.
But she might lose because of 4chan trolls and whichever retard decided to rally them.

[Demi.]

YEEEESS!?

No.
Since I have an above average IQ, I've come up with a solution though... Just vote Shana and have my friend vote Sakura K.

In fact, thanks to their translation, I'm a super fan of planetarian and would buy a Yumemi figure if one were available. Also posters and artbooks. So I will get Key their money in some way.

Also you can watch the sub. =\ There are a few images in it; otherwise it's all reading, which is watching. Because if I merely listened to the drama, I unfortunately wouldn't get much out of it. I'll be fluent someday...

Fortunately Yumemi's too innocent to notice. Although I do wonder what the planetarium's visitors think.

She's a robot anyway, so I would assume there's nothing down there anyway, buuuut... who knows.

Hai! What's left to the imagination is much better. You can come up with creative clothing, but naked is naked; very limited in what you can do once there.

No you typed it correctly, it looks like. I think you just blew his mind with the concept of "front buttox." I mean they still loo--nah, nevermind.

But I understood what you meant. *huggles*

Same here, but that link was to make a point rather different from oppai.

Yeah though, I was rather confused when I read the upcoming Sekirei is one of the most anticipated shows this Summer. I'm not enthused given the somewhat generic setting and the high fanservice approach with a cast that have bipolar bust: either they are Loli Flat or Massive Oppai with no middle ground. If I'm to like a busty character, they need to have earned the right to have Massive Oppai, not just because the artist decided to endow them or that they're mature ladies (why is it that most mature lady characters always have a huge rack?).

Yeah, it's from their faq. (I had to go there to learn game specs). It's partially but not really our fault that they're no longer subbing visual novels.
By the way, Kanon game torrent just hit upload:download ratio of 10.

Oh, so it's liek a light novel with sound.
Eh, I guess reading is kind of watching.

Imagination might not be a good thing since we have KholdSecks here.

Yes, this "front buttox" concept is vastly different from what I thought was there.

What I first noticed on the wiki page was the size and not the clothing.

mmm.. first impressions of Sekirei were pretty unpleasant, and the only thing that holds any interest to me at all is that Seven Arcs is doing it.

Oh, and everyone, get this nao.
Everseed time.

[FiREwing]

I wouldn't be able to take serious scenes seriously if there was a mature woman that was a DFC or didn't have huge assets.

Z0MFG EF DVD? DO WANT. DO WANT.

There are no mature women in anime.

Eh.

I don't really think women can have DFCs, they might be small, but they're certainly there.

Gah, ugly subs.
Simple and clean are superior.

[Psieye]

What I first noticed on the wiki page was the size and not the clothing.

Of course you won't find the NSFW stuff on that page. You need to dig around to find say... Ragnarok City or Lady Innocent.

[FiREwing]

Personally. Loli>DFC>Healthy.

Are the ugly subs huge? I hate huge subs. Da C(r)apo II S.S.'s subs are huge. Ticks me off.

Btw 150+kB/s.8D

Well as I said, Key will still get their money from me when they license a Yumemi figure to be sculpted. Or if I can somehow find a way to buy the supplemental storybook .. or any posters.

Oh, so it's liek a light novel with sound.
Eh, I guess reading is kind of watching.
Ha, sameverbforbothinjapanesehellyeswheresmyA?

Yomu? Miru? Well...

Imagination might not be a good thing since we have KholdSecks here.

He prefers direct nudity? Or are you saying his imagination is a little bit out of control?

What I first noticed on the wiki page was the size and not the clothing.

What I first noticed was how paper-thin the clothing were. Or it must have been extremely cold in the room...

Oh, and everyone, get this nao.
Everseed time.

Already finished e.f. I'm waiting on the sequel. Lovely story; sweeter soundtrack. SHAFT did a magnificent job.

Wait... that means the only women you take seriously are the ones that DO have huge assets.

All girls are different. What's your size then?

Well, the subs are kind of big (not that much bigger than Menclave's version, but theyre... wider?) and kind of but not really curly.
Same subs as Menclave's, just a different font.

I hit 200 kb/s HA.

I might be uploading it to you if you're on Azureus or Bitcomet.

Drat. I'm on utorrent. :/ I don't care about font as long as I can read it.

You could say I'm a loli. I'm like the 4th from shortest in my class now that I look at the class picture. Everyone grew like 5 ft during the school year while I grew maybe 2 cm.

Yeah, sometimes it's a bit distracting, but this isn't the worst I've seen.

Ha! I'm a tall Asian.
Kind of.

Tall for an Asian, I guess.
Lolis are epic.
You are epic.

Ah, figures are pretty expensive and I'm too busy being cheap to buy stuff.
I would actually get some sweet Gundam figure first. ZGMF-X10A Freedom hell yes.
Then Gurren Lagann.
Or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Watch it again.

I filled a 34B with tissue.

EDIT: Fail, I found a DVD rip of Kanon that had Eclipse's subs in a decent font, so I have to download now.

Client shouldn't matter too much, right? You're still all connected using the same protocol.

Aw, I wanna hug you now.

Kind of.

I'm 5'8" ... but I'm also 23 and probably done growing. qtip has a few more years of growth left.

Ah, figures are pretty expensive and I'm too busy being cheap to buy stuff.

Make A's and get scholarships. Then buy figures with that money. S'what I'm doing.

Same kanji maybe?
I don't know, I fail at Japanese.

. Nah. Yomu is 読む while Miru is 見る

Watch it again.

Later.

I filled a 34B with tissue.

lol ... were you groped a lot?

What now?

THIS THREAD MOVES TOO FAST.
Still, nice to see it's as random as always. Personal vote statistics, Planetarian, guess who's taller and general signifiance of clothing... makes for quite a read.
Ahem.

ISML main page tells me it's dead again.

Late again, but

Spoiler for results comments:

ARENA 01 #10 Hinagiku > #12 Konata, 50.7% Good, but... why so close ?
ARENA 02 #15 Suigintou > #11 C.C., 51.7% Aww, C.C., I hoped for a different ending... BTW, am I the only one here who voted C.C. in this match?
ARENA 03 #5 Yuki > #16 Mikuru, 61.6% OK
ARENA 04 #2 Kyou > #17 Evangeline, 73.8% OK
ARENA 05 #9 Kotomi > #24 Nayuki, 62.9% OK
ARENA 06 #22 Tsukasa > #13 Nagisa, 54.3% Don’t really care.
ARENA 07 #14 Mai > #28 Fuko, 52.4% Very good.
ARENA 08 #8 Nanoha > #32 Suiseiseki, 54.5% OK
ARENA 09 #19 Rika > #30 Konoka, 68.3% Good to see the winning streak continues.
ARENA 10 #18 Horo > #36 Setsuna, 68.1% Yay! (Cheering her on and hoping to see her in the top 16)
ARENA 11 #25 Ayu > #38 Matsuri, 61.8% Not approved, though really, worse things have happened.
ARENA 12 #3 Tomoyo > #35 Louise, 63.6% Expected, even obvious, but still good to see.
ARENA 13 #27 Rena > #33 Ryou, 51.2% Good to see Rena prevail, though just 13 votes?!? Truly, ANY Clannad girl is a force to be reckoned...
ARENA 14 #20 Saber > #34 Hanyuu, 55.2% Wha...? How? No way...
ARENA 15 #7 Kagami > #41 Eri, 76.1% Bleh.
ARENA 16 #31 Sayuri > #42 Nodoka, 67.6% OK... I guess...
ARENA 17 #6 Haruhi > #44 Ayumu, 71.8% Obviously...
ARENA 18 #48 Kyon's Sister > #40 Tessa, 51.5% WHAT?!? Tessa lost to nameless support char? Total and absolute failure that boggles my mind.
ARENA 19 #21 Nagi > #46 Mion, 62.9% Pity it had to be such a large votes diffrence.
ARENA 20 #45 Tsuruya > #51 Shinku, 55.1% Don’t care.
ARENA 21 #1 Shana > #49 Eruruu, 72.5% Good, even though makes me feel bad for Eruruu.
ARENA 22 #52 Tamaki (BB) > #50 Sakura (TC), 56.5% Tamaki did good job escaping the Grey Goo.
ARENA 23 #43 Vita > #53 Sakura (FSN), 50.9% OK.
ARENA 24 #4 Fate > #55 Alice, 71.3% Good, though not really surprising.
ARENA 25 #29 Rin > #57 Souseiseki, 68.8% Ha!
ARENA 26 #47 Chiaki > #58 Tamao, 66.2%
ARENA 27 #56 Kiri > #59 Yuno, 55.2% Wow, Kiri got a win! It’s been a long time since last time that happened...
ARENA 28 #37 Yue > #60 Touka, 57.3%
ARENA 29 #26 Maria > #61 Tamaki (TH), 74.2% Good.
ARENA 30 #39 Shiori > #62 Chikaru, 73.0% Good.
ARENA 31 #54 Aruruu > #63 Konomi, 52.7%
ARENA 32 #23 Sakura (CS) > #64 Yurie, 74.2% Meh. Still, even against Sakura Yurie still manages over a hundred votes. That looks promising...

Support for all the LS girls is truly amazing...

Speaking of support

Yeah I intend to Win.

I'm with you on this one. Let's make it a WIN for Yurie.

Trying to sort my priorities for upcoming big matches I dl’ed some AMV’s, as well as Demi’s Fate/Nanoha imagepack. Still wary of magicl girls as a genre, but as for Fate...
One particular avatar sized .gif did it.
I’m sold.
Looks like all the support campaigns are not in vain after all...

ISML main page tells me it's dead again.

At least it's slow enough for anyone to be able to keep up. Last year, the Saimoe thread went fast as hell. I think this year, with the split threads, the ruckus should slow down a bit.

If Weebly says that its down for maitenance, there is really nothing I can do at this point. Otherwise, I'd be moving down to San Francisco to help them out.
