Carnival Phantasm -- BD 1 grabs

I ended up with 59 grabs from the first BD, but I'll only be able to use about 40 of them. Still, that's pretty good.

Arcueid is unquestionably the best eye candy of the lot. I'm going to use this particular one, and there were quite a few others in that segment of her in that wonderful bikini.

I read up on her on Wikipedia, and it says that in the original visual novel, and the derivative anime and manga, there was no fan service of her at all (except for one pinup in the manga). Seems that they wanted to correct that in Carnival Phantasm.

I really wish I could use this one:

But I can't convince myself it would be OK. Who is that, by the way?

And here's some nightmare bait:

I definitely won't be using that one.

1 Nuke it from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

2 I feel sorry for the guy who had to animate that.

3 The middle picture is of Caster from Fate/Stay Night. She usually wears an all-consuming black cowl and initially shows up that way in Carnival Phantasm.

4 Heh, how about using that "nightmare bait" the next time you catch someone directly-linking to one of your images?

5 I set that up years ago, and what they get is vastly more obnoxious than that. It's also just 6K, so it puts less load on my uplink.

6 "No fan service of her at all" my left (webbed) foot.  When a lass like that wears a skintight sweater, it's nothing BUT fanservice... and that's what she wears most of the time.

They've been showing what I thought was her original costume, and the sweater isn't remotely skin tight.

Isn't that it?

8 I could've SWORN there was a scene in the VN where you could sleep with  a succubus pretending to be her.

9 Wikipedia lists the VN as an eroge, so it's hard to believe there is no fan service at all.

This explains a lot, doesn't it?

11 the sweater isn't remotely skin tight.

It's close enough for government work.

12 In-your-face-sexy is not what Type Moon does.

Arc is a fun character, to be honest. Very happy and positive outlook, despite being stuck in a pretty grim scenario. A man-from-mars story in a lot of ways, and more appealing than Ciel's grin over vast sorrow, Akiha's grin that is about to kill you, or Kohaku's grin that just killed you a couple seconds ago.

Caster is, well...

13 Better make sure you keep her happy, though. . .
