While I'm on the subject of Emi's new sprites, I think her twintails now look like they're actually part of her hair rather than "detachable" or whatever. With this in mind, I was able to come up with what I believe would be the ultimate "holy shit you're gorgeous" moment in the KS world.



Are ya ready for this?




...



Emi in a yukata. (presumably, it would follow that she would wear her hair down.)



Now, why is Emi in a yukata the ultimate "holy shit you're gorgeous" moment, and not Shizune, Lilly, etc.? Before I go further, I'd first like to posit a theory I have that women wearing their hair up are attractive for the same reason women wearing erotic clothing are attractive: It's a tease. When a woman lets her hair down it's like she's releasing her previously hidden, naked beauty, and it all hits you at once. I know that sounds hella creepy, but it's true.

But still, why is Emi the candidate for producing the ultimate nosebleed and not Lilly, who also wears her hair up? This is because Lilly still looks gorgeous and elegant even with her hair up, not least because she puts a big black bow in it. Emi on the other hand has simple, sporty twintails. It's very easy to imagine Emi with her hair down, and when I do she becomes the cutest girl of the six. This, combined with a yukata, would probably be enough to kill Hisao on the spot.

Depending on how the routes in the final game turn out, it's possible that Emi would snatch the spot in my heart now occupied by Shizune. That also sounds hella creepy, but I'm pretty sure people have said creepier in this thread so yeah.


Edit: This entire post becomes invalid if Shizune grows her hair long enough to sport a ponytail.

I tend to agree, but since KS already had its "festival episode" without a single yukata, I think the odds of the characters wearing them at some point are unfortunately low. Fortunately, we've still got the beach/pool episode and bath house/hot spring episode to look forward to...

And those are things to look forward too. As well as the strip poker with Lilly...That would be funny though. "Sorry Lilly, looks like you loose again."

I think Lilly might have mentioned something about looking foward to Tanabata.

Actually, it was Hisao to mention Tanabata, but Lilly does happily agree with him

Wow, you know, I agree with that. Never though of it before, but I've always preferred someone's hair down. I've seen some girls who usually wear it up suddenly put it down, and they look much better, and when I recommend it to them they say they don't like it.

I actually wanna see the opposite with Hanako sometime, too. Wonder how she'd look in a pony tail. Actually, I think I saw a picture like that somewhere...

I've actually been thinking about what each girl's "alternate hairstyle" would be, and for Hanako I came up with a braided ponytail draped over her shoulder. Something like this I guess but with all of her hair in a thick, loose braid like this.

Rin's would essentially be Ichijou's hairstyle while Lilly's would be cut short like Alice's.


Not that any of it matters; I can't draw. ;_;


Edit: I knew I had a specific picture in mind for the ponytail braid thing. And of course I completely forgot about Misha; isn't it sad? Anyway I suppose it's been established who Misha's lookalike is. Also, for those of you who lack imagination, Emi with her hair down would probably look like a blonde-haired green-eyed version of Ilya.

Love the first picture for how Hanako's alternate hairstyle would be. It must be done. Though I'm not really digging that type of hair for Lilly... It would be interesting to see it short, but I can't really imagine it too well. Could be good if I see it in practice.

I dunno about Luka being Misha, I think Kasane Teto would be more fitting. Yes, just because of the drill hair. And I wanted to compare a fellow voice synthesizer.

Edit: And since I listened to it recently, I can see Emi being BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER if she dyed her hair black.

Mmmaaybe this content would have been better in the look-alike thread... (lol made like a million edits because of little mistakes)

The proto lookalike thread was basically a vocaloid thread anyway. I don't recall Teto being mentioned, but maybe. In any case the comparison to Luka came first; I picked that particular picture of Luka 'cause otherwise Misha's alternate hairstyle would've been too similar to Emi's alternate hairstyle.

Still, it is hard to imagine Misha without her drills, isn't it?

Definitely. There has to be some fan art with her hair down, though, might help.

I wonder how much more popular Misha would be if she had her own route. She's my third favorite so I was disappointed to see she was the lowest. I hope we get some bonus material with her in it, though. Just a little scene separate from the main paths you get after getting 100% complete! That would be a nice treat, if you ask me. Might quell some of the demands for a route, or, oh dear lord, throw fuel on the fire.

Good lord at the results. I can see Rin on top with that many but Misha on the bottom with that few? I suppose it's just a result of her not having her own route. I suppose. D:

I suddenly think that KS' biggest hurdle is going to be the ero CG scenes. The normal character sprites are a bit too awesome to top (Emi's imperfect sprite aside).

As it has been said, awhile after the poll's inception, someone hacked it to generate those Rin votes. Back when the poll was viable, Hanako held the top spot, with Rin and Lilly not far behind. As for Misha, she appears to have developed a following of her own, but as she isn't a path girl, it is unlikely that many would choose her as their absolute favorite.

CG art tends to be well done, at least for KS. I have faith in our artists.

rin being on top with that many votes was the result of somebody hacking the poll and adding a thousand votes to rin

Misha likes being on the bottom.
