Yeah, that's the problem. Those shows you listed are shows for regular people, shows that anyone can watch and enjoy, the one in the secret is for otakus (otaku as in the Japanese word, not the American one 'I watch anime and read manga I'm an otaku'). But it's still pretty tame, there are character designs far worse. See Strike Witches-

[iceyred]

So first you call the design in the secret a 'regular' character design.

I list off a bunch of shows that have designs that are nothing like that.

You say those shows are for 'regular people.'

It's possible you're a different anon, but either way I'm standing by the fact that the secret design is gross. And just because there are worse things out there doesn't mean it isn't gross.

[(Anonymous)]

"Gross"

Are you six, make a proper grown up comment, no one even slightly cares about what you find "gross".

[iceyred]

Oh, Anon, did I make you angry?

Sick...perverted...pick one.

Also, this is a forum dedicated to expressing opinions about media. Mine is just as valid as anyone else's. Sorry not sorry that bothers you.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, ignoranced always makes me angry and I remember when here had much more nuanced less childish views of sexuality and media interest.

p.s. you earn "validity" and respect. Just because you happen to have some dumb useless opinions doesn't mean that you get to pretend they're anything like equal to an eloquent explanantion of why someone likes or dislikes something.

[iceyred]

'Ignoranced.' Hang on, I want to appreciate the irony for a second while at the same time laughing at an anon talking about validity and respect and pretending they had an eloquent explanation of why they liked something that looks like a thirteen year old dressed in a stripper outfit.

[(Anonymous)]

Spelling error = anything to do with being educated or ignorant. Huehuehuehue

And you're forgetting the catgirls, they make it extra sophisticated.

[iceyred]

It's not so much that it's misspelled. It's more the fact that it's misspelled in the middle of a diatribe where Anon is calling me childish for using the word 'gross' and claiming to oh-so-superior for being eloquently able to defend a character design that looks like a thirteen year old dressed as a stripper.

I don't normally notice misspellings, but that kind of irony just doesn't come around every day.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh crap, I ignoranced all over my screen! What a mess.

I usually don't like you but I think you're spot on in this thread, btw. I think it's super creepy that arguing anon is so invested in yelling at you for not liking it yet has no actual explanation or defense for this hypersexualized character design. Heck, I don't think an actual stripper could make those clothes look appealing or non-skeevy.

[iceyred]

Nothing brings people together like a mutual dislike of hypersexualized characters who look like young teens.

I've long accepted that I won't be everyone's cup of tea. Sometimes I have opinions and those tick people off. /shrug.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, thank you, anon. Other anon sounds like a creep.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally agree. It's disgusting. That kind of artwork skeeves me out in general--can't believe so anyone's actually defending it.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't bother.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a regular character design, yes, because there are tons of anime, manga or VN with similar character designs. They are pretty common. No one who is into anime would be surprised by them, because they are the same shit that we have seen hundreds of times before.

You listed some shows from 10 years ago, shows that aren't representative of how anime looks, especially not nowadays when most shows are "cute girls doing cute things".

[iceyred]

Just because something is common and everyday doesn't mean it's not disgusting. Cute girls doing cute things don't have to look like that.

I recently watched Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit. It didn't look like porn.

[(Anonymous)]

Excuse me it's more like 25%: http://anichart.net/winter

And there's only like 1 or 2 SOLs a season.

[darkmanifest]

I've watched a ton of anime over the years, and this kind shit is niche if it's anything, hentai fantasy bullshit that is not universal to the artform. The idea that it's representative sounds like something someone whose only exposure to anime has been fapping to La Blue Girl would say.

[(Anonymous)]

There are several shows every season with sexualized female characters, I wouldn't call it niche at all. Just this season, there are (at least) five shows that are bad enough to make me cringe and give-me second hand embarrassment, plus all the others that aren't that bad but still make me raise my eyebrows.

[darkmanifest]

But isn't it specific genres of anime where it's popular? I mainly follow the fantasy/scifi/action/adventure side of things, and while those genres have their share of T&A, that special brand of ecchi fanservice doesn't seem to crop up often, if at all. I do keep my distance from most comedies and day-in-the-life anime for a reason.
