She seems kind of plain looking. Like I knew before I even started up this video she would have twin tails (because it seems like almost anyone going for "super moe" goes with twin tails). She seems to be an average height with an average chest, a average hair color in a common moe style. She has an average hair style and is wearing what looks like a cross between Race Queen and something you'd see in a sci-fi anime.

I rate her: Average.

So clearly designed by Danny Choo's company.... is she Mirai's younger sister?

@grooven. I doubt that's Danny Choo's design. His Mirai might be overhyped and overpushed, but she's still boatloads better than this...(disclaimer, tastes may vary and are by nature subjective)

On another news, Mikatan, the popular host of GSC company blog, left it to try her own wings on routes unknown(some speculation online, but one reason might be she's getting married). Will be replaced by someone called Kahotan.

There seems to be ongoing efforts to make the company more mainstream, such as the move to Tokyo SkyTree a year ago, disassociation of 'inappropriate' properties like the removal of Native links from their facebook page(Native, Max Factory-owned high-quality ero-figure producer), and expanding into and taking active part in the anime production industry.
Whether all this is having an effect on the line-up of their core business, the verdict is still out.

So, a bland mascot for a.. bland company?

Danny would've used much bigger boobs

Mad sounds like they're going MoeNovel route. I wonder if the link removal was due to Facebooks' policy, But it doesn't sound good nonetheless.
