Anomaro’s Luka (and others too)
I’ve been a fan of Anomaro’s models since I first saw 2008′s Honey video.
I still consider this to be one of my favourite videos and also my favourite use of Anomaro’s models but, this wasn’t last last we would see of Anomaro’s work either.
Anomaro has made stages, Black Rock Shooter models, video game models and of course, plenty of Mech models. His blog still remains up and you can find his latest work on BowlRoll. Unfortunately, he hasn’t made anything for MMD since 2014 and four models in-particular seem to be missing.
The models in question are Megurine Luka, FL-Chan (The mascot for FL Studio), Girokaku (a mascot for a Japanese BBS), and a Miku wearing a maid costume.
Thankfully, 3 of these 4 are what I’d claim to be, a false disappearance. Opening up the zip files for Luka, FL-Chan, and Girokaku alone will only display and extract part of the file.
When I first looked at the file, I was very confused. “Where was the model?” I couldn’t find anything but the 3DS Max version. It was when I opened the zip files in WinRAR that I finally was able to find out where they had went.
Extracting with WinRAR will also give you the complete file too. Unfortunately, I am unable to explain why this occurred. It does teach a lesson however, if a zip is empty, open in WinRAR.
The only model that I have yet to find however, is the Maid Miku. Of course, the 3DSMax model is still available yet if you go to download the MMD model, you’ll redirect to infoseek.co.jp. The one lead I did have didn’t work either so the model is lost.

Overall I feel happy that all except one model can be downloaded. If you also use 3DSMax, I recommend checking those models too. They are higher quality and higher-poly but still have the classic style.
