Moeyo's Best of Hip 2012

Supreme anime otaku fandom site Moeyo's Best of 2012 lists continues, following up yesterday's recap of the best breasts of 2012 with their Best of Hip list posted today.  Of course, "hip" to the Japanese means "dat azz" to us Western devils.  The results, as follows:

1)  Manaka Komaki Physical Education (Pool) version from To Heart2 1/6 scale by Beat

2)  Mischievous Thief Xiaomei from Shining Hearts 1/6 scale by Kotobukiya

3)  Mischievous Thief Xiaomei from Shining Hearts 1/6 scale by Kotobukiya

4)  Imari Kurumi from Bible Black 1/6 scale by Daiki Kougyo

5)  Charlotte Dunois Bunny Style from Infinite Stratos 1/7 scale by Kotobukiya

6)  Mischievous Thief Xiaomei from Shining Hearts 1/6 scale by Kotobukiya

7)  Ichijo Manami from Menkui! by Orchid Seed

8)   Alisa Ilynichna Amiera from God Eater Burst 1/7 scale by Plum

9)  Daydream Collection vol. 02 Woman Teacher Mari MANGA version original character 1/6 scale by Kaitendoh

10)  Black Hanekawa from Bakemonogatari 1/8 scale by Kotobukiya

A dominating performance by Kotobukiya's Xiao Mei that somehow doesn't result in a first-place finish is the upset of the year; I certainly had the Black Cat the leader in the clubhouse, with Max Factory's catsuit-clad duo of Maria Takayama and Kobato Hasegawa from Haganai as second and third.
