JFTR I haven't actually watched this anime, but I don't think the "uncanny valley" concept really can apply to Kyubey...?

[maverickz3r0]

Yeah, uncanny valley is used to describe something that is just realistic enough to make us notice how fake it looks--that there's something indefinably 'off' about the thing that's trying very hard to look real but missing something fundamental.

Kyubey isn't trying to look realistic at all, so he's just straight up creepy if you find him so.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't use "uncanny valley," either, but I can see what they mean - Kyubey does give off a "not quite right" vibe, but not in a "can't put my finger on it" way, which is sort of what I consider "uncanny valley" to be. That said, his major creepy factor comes from him being completely alien. His appearance definitely enhances the effect, but he'd still be a furry ball of WTF even if he didn't have the immobile face and everything else.

[charming_stranger]

Correct. Kyubei is creepy, but he doesn't look nearly similar enough to any existing creature for the Uncanny Valley effect to apply.
