What is peak Miki design? For me it's
2nd vision = Anime > Platinum Stars > Million Live > 1st vision > Awakened

2nd vision captures all the elements that make her her, it has strong shapes and silhouette, and she actually looks her age. I love the little flipping things on the sides of her hair. The anime design also has a ton of life and what it lacks in depth it makes up for in expressiveness.
In Platinum Stars she's the most beautiful she's ever been, and it looks like you can reach out and touch her. However, it sacrifices a lot of personality and makes her a bit too moeblob.
Million Live is cute and looks really good at some angles, but the faces are modeled kinda weird and her hair is rather mac 'n' cheese colored.
1st vision is still an excellent design, but by this point it has just become prototype Miki.
And sorry to anyone who likes Awakened, but it's so different it just feels like a different character.

This is of course merely figuring out the best of the best, because any Miki is the best!
