No, actually, I think both fandoms are about the same. Many anime have extremely popular characters that aren't pretty, and live-action series have a lot of popular characters that might not be pretty (what I can see anyway), but are still called beautiful.

Also, in anime character design often reflect personality, and interesting/important characters are drawn as pretty or handsome (or noticable in other ways) as a way to draw the viewer's attention to them.

If a character with Mckay's personality were in an anime, he would probably have the narrow eyes, black hair, and noli-me-tangere attitude of one of the most popular anime biseinen types out there.

In short: anime fandom falls for personality just as much as western media fandom. It's just that those personality types are always good-looking in anime.

I have to disagree. Most anime characters are pretty reagrdless of personality, even the villains. However, when one comes along that isn't pretty (example: Kuwabara in the YYH fandom) he or she will usually be ignored or bashed by about 90% of the females in an anime fandom. That's my experience, anyway. I can guarantee, if Kurama (pretty, cool type) and Kuwabara (typical shounen heart-of-gold delinquent) were to switch personalities, Kuwabara!Kurama would still be the more popular character of the two. Although I'm beginning to think it's mentality found in all animated media, not just anime.

EEK! Whenever someone mentions that argument, I hear THE WRONG VOICESS COMING OUT OF THEIR HEADS. They were not meant to swap voices and IT'S MESSING UP MY WORLD. ;_;

Re: 28

Not voices-- just personalities. Though I can see how the former could be very disturbing.

Re: 28

[xreddestinyx.livejournal.com]

I know, but for some reason, my imagination just translates it that way.

...And now it's even more disturbing to picture their voices saying things that the other would say! That is not right or fitting at all! D:

(Overall, I think doing that little thought experiment with that particular show will always yield disturbing results, because everyone's appearance perfectly matches their personality, somehow. And that's part of what's great about it!)

Re: 28

I think you misunderstood my argument here. You said it yourself: if they were to switch personalities, right? Kurama has the cool, strong personality, and is bishônen. This is waht happens in anime. If Kuwabara had had that personality, he would also be drawn pretty.

Though, as a side point, isn't Kuwabara actually very popular? It's been a while, but when I was in the fandom almost everybody (including myself) praised his courage, loyalty, and sweet caring for Yukina.
