End of thread.

Hitomi Komatani - AKB48 Graduation ~ 1st Photobook
Like: She looks really cute. I never really got into her, but this PB definitely helps.
Dislike: Some of the shots are incredibly shameless. It's kinda awkward because she looks young.
Overall: 8/10
Itano Tomomi - To.Mo.rrow
Like: I like most of the outfits, Tomo's legs are quite nice and she looks cute in most of the shots.
Dislike: The magazine lay-out is too busy and everything has a darkish tone to it.
Overall: 6.5/10
Itano Tomomi - Tomocawaii 01 Summer
Like: Addition of Kasai and Maimai, kimono pics
Dislike: Lay-out
Overall: 7/10
Kashiwagi Yuki - Ijou KY Deshita
Like: I love most of the outfits, setting, poses.. Yuki looks spectacular.
Dislike: Some of the pics where she tries to look vulnerable. For the price it should have been a hard cover book.
Overall: 9.5/10
Maeda Atsuko - Hai
Like: Variety in shots and locations. Addition of funny pics.
Dislike: Some of the shots are too suggestive for a 17 year old's PB.
Overall: 8/10
Ohe Tomomi - AKB48 graduation 1st Photobook
Like: she is so hot. Unlike Hiichan's PB, these sexy pics totally suit her.
Dislike: some of her facial expressions are weird. No variation, every single pic is targeted towards fapping.
Overall: 7/10
Nakanishi Rina - AKB48 Graduation
Like: it showed me a different side of her, she looks really good in most pics.
Dislike: I'm not feeling the more pervy pics at all. She's not the type for it and it comes across kinda forced imo.
Overall: 6.5/10
Oshima Mai - 1st
Like: it's Maimai. 'nuff said.
Dislike: green polka dot bikini
Overall: 9/10
Oshima Yuko - Yuurari Yuuko
Like: classy, pure, original!
Dislike: too many uninteresting shots and some of them are too pure :nervous
Overall: 8.5/10
Miyazawa Sae - Kanojo
Like: I think it manages to capture her charm quite good. Nice variety as well.
Dislike: her hair is too short.
Overall: 7.5/10

This thread is deader than Hitler.
Anyways, since I finally released it, here's my thoughts on Yuko no Arienai Nichijou:
When I first got it, I was disappointed. Like, really disappointed. But after looking at it a bit (or a lot, actually) it sort of warmed up to me. The PB encapsulates what Yuko is. It captures her goofy side (lol unicycle), her playful side (she fits in a suitcase) and of course adult Yuko. It even tries to showcase sexy Yuko, although that fails a little bit (lol). As expected, I didn't really like the topless/sideboob photos, but the others were pretty nicely done.
All in all I think I made a good choice for a first AKB PB, and I'd recommend it to anyone, Yuko fan or otherwise.

^ It's dead 'cuz the recent PB releases have their own threads, methinks. :P
Anyways, I might as well add my two cents about Yuko's PB.
Like Mal said, this PB portrays Yuko the way she is (or at least her character). Goofy/Playful Yuko is always good to see and it's great that there was tons of it. The topless stuff I liked, but only because I feel it was another part of Yuko's goofiness coming through rather than for its perv factor.
I found this rather amusing.

The driver's got to be thinking Yuko's crazy or something. XD
Once again, props to Mal for scanning this. :thumbup Can't wait for the DVD to come out; if it's anything like the PB, it should be lots of fun to watch.

Do's anyone know if there is a photo book or photos of AKB48 when they were in military gear for the River PV?
:heart: I love it when Idols are in fighting gear!

^ There were some pics in an issue of BLT sometime in 2009, for River's release. Should be this one:
