News: The Living Anime Girl Returns!!! (Previously News: Real-life Anime Girl on Facebook)

[Navvan]

Anime features on in real life do not translate very well. The enlarged eyes alone are reason enough not to attempt it.

That said its perfectly within their right to do so, and I won't condemn them for it. I just wouldn't recommend it or say it is attractive.

 

[Two-A]

Did no one actually look at the video? She looks pretty normal, it's just a stupid heavy amount of make-up.


Her eyes are completely normal

Edit: And you chose the absolute worst picture at the absolute worst angle that makes her out to be some sort of deformity... here's a "normal" picture of her though she's still wearing some make up.

Spoiler

Huh, she actually looks normal, that's a relief.

I still don't get why these people obsess with the anime style tough. I get that it can be appealing to look at to some people (myself included), but you could say the same about surrealism. And I don't see people eager to make themselves look like a Dali painting. :/

That's fucking scary.

What is going on in her head that makes her think that looks even remotely attractive?

Maybe she doesn't care if it's attractive or not...

Just a thought.

True enough, and although everyone should be comfortable with the way they are she has clearly decided to get surgery to appear the way she does. Therefore she looked at herself in the mirror and decided to change her natural beauty for ... that.

Hence the comment.

EDITed to fix an overuse of the word 'look'.

 

[Vigormortis]

The amount of gifs and (over)reactions in this thread is hilarious. Frankly, if that's what she wants to do, more power to her. And in unrelated news, I read that as NSFW -not news- which is rather fitting.

Perhaps, but consider:

It's not porn you're looking at. Nor is it really that "disturbing", per se.

So, in a sense, it's "safe for work". And, in another sense, something one might actually consider purposefully looking up while others are around.

Why? To gauge your co-workers reactions. You wouldn't be surprised by the ones that are grossed out. But, what about that one guy who's intrigued?

Food for thought.

What are saying Captcha? Are you saying that creepy guy from accounting is...

Oh God......

You know when a girl dresses up or does something like that they're not always doing it to attract a guy, they can do it for themselves.

However 3DPD, 0/10 would not waifu.

[GTwander]

Question:

If she did a porno, would it have to be reclassified as hentai?
(and for the record, I'd prolly still hit it)

 

[Icehearted]

I really really hate to sound like I'm judging here, but people that have plastic surgery to fix anything that is not drastically out of sorts generally seem to have a lot of mental problems that I think need diagnosing before being okayed to do this sort of thing to themselves.

 

[recurve6]

Do whatever you want to your body, I suppose, I mean it's not like it's causing all of us harm....except for the lack of sleep, maybe.

 

[Composer]

DAMN IT!
Why is this thing everywhere I look?!
Do you people want to keep it in my nightmares?
Seriously, the eyes!!!
Agh!
[sub][sub][sub]Help it's haunting me![/sub][/sub][/sub]

completely unrelated... but I just picked up Riviera, and your avatar reminded me to play more!

Well, actually that was the reason why I put it there, it was supposed to remind me to play it, sadly it hasn't, but at least it worked for someone so it's not a complete failure.

 

[BarbaricGoose]

Hey, whatever makes ya happy.

I'd say "You only live once" but that's been taken over by douchebags. So I'll say... the amount of times you live is less than twice, it's not a fraction, and it's above zero.

 

[PunkRex]

Dr.Steinman: I AM NOT FUCKING AMUSED!!!
Dr.Zed: Just tell me if ya need anything...
Me: Oh leave her alone you two, shes entitled to do as she pleases.
*glances at pic*
Me: eeerrrggghhh...

 

[FrozenCones]

I saw this story yesterday while surfing the news and immediately showed my coworker. We both came to the swift conclusion that this sort of thing is fucking creepy.

I'm sure some pervert somewhere is salivating over the idea of this.

Personally I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

[2fish]

Going to ask the blonde out need one (1) wingman for the other one. Any takers?

Would help if wingman either speaks their language or has a how to book.

Otherwise yay uncanny valley is closer to being real! I am not a big fan on how girls look in anime so I think I am biased on how it looks in real life.

 

[omega 616]

Most devoted anime cosplayer ever!

People do stupid shit, this is nothing new. 1 man turned into a lizard, a another person turned into a tiger and I am sure there are other extreme people like this.

She is just putting a new spin on it.

They all look ridiculous and I seriously, honestly think these people need medical psychological help! It's like they are so scared to be themselves they want to be something they admire or think is super cute (in this case).

 

[DanDeFool]

So, here's my theory about this. To help illustrate, here's a picture of the standard "uncanny valley" chart.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_L_GZ4wQqOPw/SwQHvDTHgrI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/YdR1da1cA9w/s400/uncanny-valley1.jpg

For those of you saying, "Sorry, I'm not into anime", my theory is that people experience the "uncanny valley" effect differently. Whereas some people would put anime characters somewhere in the deeper parts of the valley, people who find anime characters appealing would place them somewhere around where "Disney Features" is indicated on the red curve, near the first peak.

This is clearly illustrated by whoever drew the red curve on this variant of the graph, placing Final Fantasy nearly at the bottom of the curve. Harsh, unless maybe the author was referring to the ill-conceived Spirits Within movie, in which case I can see their point.

However, even anime fans would find OP's pic creepy, and that's because real-life anime girl is going in the wrong direction on the familiarity curve. If you add features of characters that are deliberately unlike a real person to an actual person, there's nowhere to go but back down into the valley. Exactly how far back "real-life anime girl" slides varies depending on the observer; I, for example, personally don't find her hideous or anything like that, but I find her appearance quite bizarre and unattractive compared to your average girl.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the people who likes how anime characters look.
