Now that I have moved the whole site onto the spanking new Nav2.0 platform, the header on each page is in need of different Mirai-chan poses.
While Azamiyuko sensei and I work on her other costumes here are 7 new poses of Mirai in her sailor uniform which you will soon see randomly appear in the header.
These types of poses are known as Tachie (立ち絵(たちえ)) and those who play eroge will be familiar with them. Basically, the main stance/clothes are the same with slight changes in facial expressions and hand gestures. Tachie usually show up when you are having a dialog with characters of the game.

Below: The "Mitsume" (見つめ) pose in this case meaning to "look at one who she likes" ^^; Adorable!
Below: The "Bikkuri" (びっくり) pose which means "to be suprised (at something)".
Below: The "Ase" (汗) pose. Folks who watch anime should understand this one.
Below: The "Mutto" (むっと) pose. Mirai-chan is unhappy about something ^^;
Below: The "Egao" (笑顔) pose. Slight variation from the current top version.
Below: The "Naki" (泣き) pose. Don't this picture make you want to go give her a consolidating hug? Love this one!
Below: The "Megane" (眼鏡) pose - every (nearly) anime has a character with glasses.
Below: The current top pose. Wallpaper of the new poses soon.
Below: And thanks to SG for the Mirai fan art - put this together with the other fan art in Mirai's page.
Speaking of eroge, how many of you are interested in more coverage?

Sugoiiiiiiiiii~!!

Am looking for a random Mirai pose (yes, her image on the top-left) each time I enter an article.

It would be even greater if she wore one of those designated costumes you showed us a bit ago (Stormtrooper, otaku...)

A yukata version would be greatly appreciated.

^__^

Kudos to your sensei.  She really has some life within her that makes her even more adorable than before.  That crying one just makes me want to hug her. ^^;

Ah, didn't read the article fully once again... I look forward to that, then.

The Mitsume pose is my favorite. I generally don't feel well when I see girls crying.
The Ase one never bores me too. ^.^;

Please thank Azami-San from us. May it be possible to get an exclusive interview from her sometime?

BTW,
Each page is cached server-side so hitting refresh wont bring up a new mirai-chan pose. The top page is refreshed every ten minutes or when somebody makes a comment.

The new images will go up sometime next week.

Hi Danny if you intend to cover eroge, will it be mostly games or anime manga? What about doujin fan works? 

Best Tachie pose I like "naki" and "Megane" cheers

Oooh, i really like these new poses, and the idea of doing them this way is good, because it makes it easier to do different poses.

I am still really looking forward to seeing her in her new costumes, especially the maid one...and maybe a nurse? i forget what exact oens you are working on.

Yay, only 4 months till i come to Japan!!! I have already started planning where to visit. 

Oooh, i have a question (hope you don't mind ^_^). In Akihabara, if you had to pick 1, what shop would you say i would absolutely have to visit while there?

Think about it, Your own Mirai game haha.

Her poses are cute, but somehow her glasses doesn't fit her, maybe a new design.

But all her other poses are cute.

All of the pictures are designed well.  But I think the crying Mirai could use more emphasis on the tears with both eyes half-open and tears starting to come out from the outer edge of her eyes and her hands will be reaching up to wipe them away.  The glasses wearing Mirai looks a bit awkward to me, more like they are fake glasses she wears for a theatrical play or something.

On the Bikkuri pose, her right arm position looks quite weird for me. It looks like Mirai-chan arm were shifted/pushed away. Or maybe it was just my feeling ..

Yes Danny, I p.blurbed this bug to you when checking previous AFD joke post, but I guess you missed it. Everyones post cycles 4x, and each time has a different ID#. Don't know if it is taking up unecessary archive space not, or if it is in other post besides this and AFD post 2007.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I know what it is. The comments for articles and news items were in separate databases. Some items must have got duplicated during the migration. There may be a few more duplicate entries but should not happen for articles which are less than a few months old.
