Description
This is an edit by *MMD-Nay-PMD and the first impression I got of this package was:WOW ...
Everything in this package of four models smacks of quality. Now I will admit that I really like anime girl type models with a "bent" theme. Lolicon demon girls fit right into that definition and Ira is a demon-girl. There are four versions of Ira in this package:
a. - human form
b. - mad form (demonic form with an interesting skin texture)
c. - ira form (same as above without the interesting skin texture and as shown above in the s/s)
d. - ira trueform (full demonic form with horns et al)
Package comes with a nicely written readme.txt. This review only covers "c." above but I did peep at the other 3 using the VMD viewer and they look similarly impressive. All 4 models are PMD format.
MMD:
So we load Ira and turn on the view physics feature to find two pieces falling off to the ground. Not a good start, but hey these things happen. As it turns out these two pieces are probably the pieces that keeps the hair from falling into the torso so they will need to be fixed.
The model is a challenge to any editor, lotsa hair and lotsa dress physics. But the modeler-editor pulls these off quite satisfactorily apart from what has already been noted. She moves like butter and is a delight to watch; hence why I added the scenery - to get a more accurate gauge of this model's full potentials.
It is not 100% perfect appearance-wise, but to go further on this point would just be nit-picking. The overall impression is that this is simply a lovely model in it's own right. How "demonic" she looks depends on your personal preference. The version reviewed is the least demonic of the 3 demonic form models. But I like this version's warm colors so that why I picked this version to focus on. The flame motifs coming out of the side of her head are the only real suggestions of the character's demonic nature in this form.
PMD:
[1] Bone structure - overall, fine. A few redundant tail bones primarily in the arm areas.
[2] Facials - the data structure looks intact so I will assume they all work.
[3] Groups - big FAIL ... 95 groups most of which are empty. Needs a clean up.
[4] All labels need to be Anglicized.
Model has a nice, informative load screen so this is definitely another plus.
Overall:
Definitely a "keeper" as far as I'm concerned. Will need some touch ups as noted above and my usual additions, but overall this is a good quality edit and a superb subject for a MMD anime type/theme model set. A lot of work went into this and it really shows. The faults noted are minor and easy to fix.
Love it and I highly recommend this set.

Thank you so much for the review, it was very informative and I'm and glad that you like her. I did not realise that the two blocks where not attached to any bones near her feet, I will defiantly fix that. As for the groups, I did not realise that there were groups for facials. I went back to look and there are 10 that need to be kept. May I ask you a question? What are the groups for the facials used for exactly?
I remember that I put English names on the facials on one model, I must have forgotten to do the others >/////<
Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention <3

The facials are divided into 4 groups and in the PMDe these are color coded. The groups correspond to where the facial is listed in the MMD facial interface.
So the groups are:
Top left (eye facials)
Top right (mouth facials)
Bottom left (eye brow facials)
Bottom right (other)
In the GROUP list, all facials are group in the facial groups and this is hard coded. Facials can only be in that group.
