| Does an anime not appeal to you unless there's an ugly fat girl, doing ugly fat things? |
| P DOPE. |
| It is really rare - the only at least chubby girl I remember out of the top of my head was the female MC of "Real Drive". (and everyone in the forum was apparently bothered by it ^^) |

| Thats because no one likes ugly characters that they cant see themselves with.... its a horrible truth but sex sales and everybody's buying, thats a song lyric btw lol |

The only time less than perfect characters enhance the experience is when it's meant to be a down to earth portrayal of real people (Monster does this well).

DragonQuest3 said: Dark_Chaos said: I'm not talking about ugly MCs. I just mean side characters or within the class. Moe girls are ugly.Well of course ugly characters aren't used. They aren't appealing at all. In fact, they often repel fans, causing sales to go down tremendously. I mean look what happened with Accel World. Sure, it wasn't a failure by any means, but a fair few people were turned off by the main character. I wasn't talking about MCs either. I was talking about all anime characters. I did read your previous posts ya know, genericusername1. |

You're never going to see a hot and heavy sex scene with a fat, ugly girl in a Hollywood film. But that's not fair, because they have sex too. |

| Princess Jellyfish has some unattractive and even overweight girls in it. But I do agree that most anime don't feature enough diversity... |

| It's been said dozens of times in this thread, but I'll just say my opinion anyways. I don't want to watch fat and ugly girls in anime, as shallow as that sound; it's just really unappealing even thinking about it. Can you imagine those kind of girls trying to do cute girls things? I think that would kill all my entertainment. |
Where is the love? |

Shiratori99 said: Some mangakas like to create ugly and/or fat side characters. It depends on the artist of the original work. This. Ya certainly don't see it so commonly in anime tho. |
 |
| Why would anyone want to watch fat and ugly people on any kind of television when you can see them anytime you want in real life? |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Artists generally try to make the characters as appealing and as attractive as possible. |

If nunally off code geass was fat and ugly i think that would have been perfect for the series Dunno about that, she's a cute soft spoken imouto whos blind and a cripple, they weren't being subtle about evoking sympathy here |

| Go to korea, almost no fat girl or ugly girl in your class Most girls do the Cosmetic Surgery when they are really young, even 5 years old |
| real drive had some heavier characters |

How about Marutamachi from Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha She isn't that fat though, easier to see when she's next to someone else. MC in Fushigi Yuugi has an unnamed fat friend. |

| One of the main character's friends in SoreMachi is hideous. And it's not just the art style, she is drawn absolutely ugly. |

| Chihayafuru - all the side characters aren't exactly the bishounen/bishoujos but they still had great personalities and were likable. +1 Princess Jellyfish. Main issue was that all the "ugly" ones were seen as weirdos. And yeah, that girl from Cross Game. |

| You would almost have to go out of your way to make an anime character "ugly". Anime is by definition a very bright, vibrant, and visually appealing art style |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Hmmm let's see, guess you're right |

| Personally, I feel that there isn't enough detail in anime faces to show whether the character is attractive or not. Everyone just looks average to me, with the only variation being body type. There aren't many fat females in anime, which is a little sad, but that's pretty much how it is in Japan IRL. |
 |
| Diversity and the likes is really terrible when it comes to anime if you think about it. A large portion of anime girls are skinny with the same small faces but mixed with different height/hip/boob sizes. It's not very hard to take the face of one anime girl and put it on the face of a totally different one from a whole 'nother show and get similar results. What makes this worse is that this isn't as much as an issue for male characters at all. Male characters can be chubby, have different noses, be ugly, have different face types, different body builds, all of that -- but finding that in an anime girl, namely a protagonist, is a rare sight. People are perfectly fine with drawing males that aren't necessarily attractive but females are more often then not given same-face syndrome. |
 |
| Mostly, no, but once in a while I do see "fat" girls. They aren't really fat, just slightly overweight - but you can see the obvious difference between some of the other characters. |

Some examples: It's overall more likely for male characters, even male, to have more diverse body shapes, types, and faces than females. |

| LOl I just noticed. There are no fat girls, only slim girls with silm thighs.. hehe. Obviously this sells better than fat and ugly girls, but there are a lot of ugly/fat/chibi male characters |
