The dude on the left looks 60.
He's not the only character Gundam has done this to. Here's Mr. Ral in the original Mobile Suit Gundam vs Gundam Build Fighters:
He's supposed to be 35 in both images.
Colony life really ages you. :)
TBF, a lot of people are visually aging slower due to a combination of not smoking, less alcohol, more exercise, better diets, and better skin care. At least that's the case for those who care.
As an anecdotal example, I'm in my 30's and the only sign of it is the fact I'm getting some gray hairs on the side of my head
I think it's the less sun. Touching grass ages a person.
Jokes on you I smoke and drink and still look young ;)
Could we add, access to Botox and other procedures?
A lot of millennials don't want to admit this. My female coworkers admit they got some botox here and there even though some of them are in their 20s. Women are also having babies later in life, so the surge of hormones usually released during pregnancy and birth doesn't happen, so the manifestation of physical signs of ageing is delayed.
if i bothered to use hair loss bullshit and dye my hair i'd look a lot younger. i like my silver.
A particularly nasty neighbour who smokes and drinks a lot is 30 but looks 50, so this checks out for me.
Counterpoint: wom*n
Who is the bottom-right char?
Reiko Kujirai from Kowloon Generic Romance which is not a Generic Anime at all.
Banning cigarettes has done wonders to society.
Nope, She smokes a lot in anime. I think every single episode has her smoking.
