I'm not much into Anime/Manga and I'm also not that enthusuastic about Genesis in general any more (At least momentarily), but I do like the new Aiko.

Never liked Hitomi. Sorry. She's funny, cute, but not pretty.

Aiko is pretty.

And even though she looks very realistic in the promos, she captures the "look and feel" of the original Aiko 3 quite well, I think.

I have a problem with the "realistic" Genesis characters like V5 and M5 because they lack bodydetail due to their low res mesh. Too realistic to be toons, too stylized to be realistic.

But a figure like Aiko looks perfectly fine with Genesis.

Wouldn't be surprised if she will get used a lot more than V5, or if at least most future female Genesis characters will use some "Aiko" in their morphs.
