Screencaps, the man sez. The bill for my counseling is in the mail. By the time I got through taking ninety-odd screencaps and culling them, I was a broken man. This show’s beginning to look good to me. Pervy, but good.
At least I am a broken heterosexual man, as opposed the readers of Derailed by Darry, who (aided by reader Sixten) aren’t even sure of their own sex any more, let alone their sexuality.
And then, just to really screw me, PSP decided to barf, and start saving the random pictures, usually the same one, no matter which one I was actually on. And of course, most of what I uploaded were the repeats. Sigh. Mostly fixed, this is all I’m posting, and now I don’t have time for the commentary to go with them.
Less FFN than I recalled, almost none really, and only a couple of real topless scenes. Still, too many of these are emphatically NSFW, so they’re going below the fold. No spoiler tags so beware.

Ye Gods.
#27 bothers me. I don’t like seeing girls cry like that. Not even robot girls.
It’s 24, not 27, but yeah. Frankly, you can’t tell that she’s a robot; she’s as real as any other girl. I see this as a dodge. HIMM tried to avoid the ickyness of having a girl treated this badly by having the little sister be the one who was really in control; KoBi is using the “she’s not a real girl” dodge (notice picture #13 — the “naked girl in a box” delivery) The store makes no er, bones, about it; they sell robots for ALL purposes. I don’t know if this show’s up to that level of plot (I doubt it), but I smell a setup in him ending up with Yui.
Every few moments Takeya will do something she respects him for; almost but not always it turns out to have an ulterior motive.
Other disturbing shots: #16, the cowbell waitress. She’s crying because of the tentacle monster sicced on her by the jealous (small breasted) miko sisters, right? So why is she smiling and blushing? #14 and #22: Um. Nice dolls. Dark side. Very dark side. #21: Baby feeds. I didn’t include the shot where she starts getting turned on.
#20 is the wanna-be girlfriend of Takeya, except we never see them together and she’s on screen for a whopping 2 minutes. What she sees in him, I don’t know… and neither does Yui.
I meant this one:

Oh, sorry. Not as menacing as it looks; it’s being deliberately over-dramatized for the damsel in distress fetish. He hasn’t laid a hand on her yet in this scene; he’s just hauled out a new outfit for the next costume rape. So how did she end up half-undressed already? Pandering.
There’s a much worse scene, IMHO, which I didn’t show, because of it — when she’s realized it’s her fate to belong to someone who is going to treat her as a dress-up doll, and her tears are dropping onto her stockings as she’s fastening them to her garters.
You can only take the “she’s a robot and her emotions are programmed” dodge so far.
