Just take those exact characters, give them different hair colors, match the personality to the hair color, boom you got a slice of life show that has a strong first season but then fades in quality and takes a weird turn in season 2+3 before a mediocre season 4 that fans try to justify but everyone really hates.
I really wish there was more evolution in anime. I used to like it a lot but I've grown to really dislike the art style because it's so homogenous. I'm sure I'm missing out on great stories but I'm so damn bored of cookie cutter kawaii characters
I know that's not every anime so no need to reply with the exceptions to the rule. The two most popular styles are "generic anime" (this) and "chibi anime" (creepy/gross)
If you're looking for more unique styles of anime, try out jojo's bizarre adventure or dorohedoro. Both have quite a unique drawing style (for anime) and world building
those hair colors, is this a DV-i reference or something
edit: the personalities match as well wtf
... and people get mad at me when I say this now bog standard, seemingly literally standardized anime art style is uninspired, boring, and fundamentally problematic.
Unrelated: did you know that the term "bog standard" comes from the term "box standard" which means, essentially, vanilla. No modifications or additions, just the basic version in the box. This used to be on the boxes for things people bought.
Now it basically means the same thing but to a none native speaker bog standard would likely not make much sense, where box standard has the context in the term.
I genuinely did not know that.
Makes complete sense though!
... and yes, English is a ridiculous nonsense language, we can and routinely do things like verb(ify) nouns, we have tons of idioms and slang that well... barely even make sense to many native speakers... we have tons of homophones like threw through, their there they're... etc...
That has been my problem with many Animes for many years. There is a boring sameness in many designs that just drive me away.
Oh really? Have you ever seen a person in the shape of a rhomboid?
Your mother was a rhomboid
MY mother was a rhomboid, you insensitive clod
And your father smelt of irregular polyhedrons
But those are the same picture...
No. They are very much not. All are rather fit though.
If by "fit" you mean slim. None of these women look like they work out
Yep, I'm afraid Gladaed is right; definitely different pictures. When she posed for the sketches, she did something different with her arms each time. She sometimes changed her expression too. Oh, and one day she wore a shorter shirt.
I think this would be incrementally less ridiculous if they hadn't, presumably, scaled the images causing them all to be the same size/height on the page.
Don't forget to give the eyes 10x the surface area of what's biologically possible
In a lot of Asia, youth is seen as attractive
Human eyeballs are generally all the same size, regardless of skull or body size.
Youth = small
Big eyes and small everything else therefore means cute
Art often exaggerates or interprets
Anime is art
Anime is also not a new medium at all in Japanese, and now global culture, and has had a lot of time to evolve
I'm not defending it, just explaining it, in case people don't understand, because this is a long-standing and very common complaint/criticism
But we could have like, a whole anime done in the style of Ukiyo-E, for characters design style motifs, for facial and body proportions..
You could mock up a 3D model and cel shade these to work out how they'd work from different angles.
This is certainly an exaggerated interpretation of reality.
It is also certainly Japanese.
These were also largely seen as depictions of beautiful, desirable people.
Here, this one's from 1932,
The eyes are getting bigger, but noses still exist, the facial proportions are actually pretty close to realistic, if not just completely realistic, unlike in the modern standard anime style.
I dunno, I guess the modern standard anime style is just much much more neotenous (oversized heads, relatively oversized eyes, relatively undersized/unemphaszed noses) because it is meant to appeal primarily to small children, who are themselves neotenous?
Whereas the consumer base for Ukiyo-E would have been primarily adults?
One of the earliest "modern" manga artists got influenced by the large eyes of disney and other western comics and shows
And others adapted it
"Biologically possible", I mean, quite a few animals have eyes taking up a ton of their headspace. Owls for starters.
... Unless you are planning on hybridizing an owl and a human, in pursuit of growing your own GMO Waifu...
I think we can safely assume the scope of the context is 'a human being'.
Why are they all pigeon-toed?
You accidentally double posted, but yes, that is uh... odd.
Bent in knees are cutesy as a pose, but as a fundamental skeletal attribute, they're ... kinda problematic.
I never noticed before that all girls are knock-kneed.
It's somehow preferred in Japan.
That's what I love about Japan, so much variety. >_>
Having worked with vendors in the print industry, I'm wondering if at least some of this is a scaling issue in the edit. Because the "tall and thin" type is exactly the same height as the rest.
Maybe there was a version that was more distinct, and a layout guy standardized them without seeing or reading the copy.
Maybe that's too much benefit of the doubt.
thought the title said booty types, I am slightly disappointed (in myself)
They are all the same
The second doesn't have the coveted "thigh gap", signaling that you are sufficiently anorexic. The third has the faintest shadow of muscle definition in her biceps and calves. The fourth remembered to wear socks, a thing only tall people do
The fourth remembered to wear socks, a thing only tall people do
she's wearing socks because she has so little fat on her body, she's cold all the time. so she needs extra clothing.
One is missing an eye. Sucks to be her.
that's what "athletic" means?
