Considering Yoko is 23 in the image and still looks the same as she was when she was before. Very legit.

There are some women especially in Asia who are 18+ and look 10-13, there was an article on Sankaku with that vary example. It's just nowhere near as common as it is in anime.

Also the girl in my set is 20 but looks 12.

Depends, I don't like Lolis that much unless they was meant to kick the older ones ass...
That's a subversive power fetish that wants to see someone that looks weaker than you dominate you. Do you BDSM?

That just how anime rolls. It's their art style, and they like it the way it is.


You're kidding me, Okabe is only 18?

Anime comes from Japan, so it's not surprising, I mean: Their ages process is strange.

I think the anime did say that he was in college o_O


You can be 18 and in college.

LOL no. I just want to see something different... if anime didn't cover this part well enough.

Someone Giant and arrogant is beat-up by the MC... in the very first episodes...

Examples: One Piece, Kenshin and etc...


But when we add lolis, is because it's a proper class of badass adorable.

A lot can be said about this word. Ever wonder why people instinctively want to possess things that are "adorable"?

Well, they aren't over sexualized in anyway, really. They actually look fitting for their age.

Come on, tell me she looks hot.


She doesn't, right? Right? You agree, right?

Seriously, Asuka has no sex appeal whatsoever, because it would be immoral to give a 14 year old girl sex appeal.

Just looked this up and bookmarked.


Exactly.

But when we add "badass" traits to "adorable" things, it appeals to some fixative or sexual nature, even if one isn't cognitive of it. Don't tell me millions of zealous fans are just naturally attracted to things as jarring as yanderes like Yuno, or Hit Girl from Kick-ass. When we take the qualities apart, we realize there is nothing that fascinating about serial or trained killers, but apparently it's desirable when it's a little girl.

When someone is dominated by something larger than him, it is a powerless experience, but when someone is dominated by a loli, he imagines it as an experience he could control. Badass lolis are like a BDSM + Loli fantasy.

It's not true. Majority of characters looks normal and at their age.

It can be problem in animefans, who are undeveloped and/or infantile, so, they look accordingly.

There is quite a lot of characters like this; I remember watching Gankutsuou and I thought the guys (not the count of course, but Albert & his friends) were around 19-20 and it turned out they were 14. It was quite a surprise.

Yeah the fact that schooling seems to be non-existent in the future threw me extremely off course. Also Bisquit from HxH She's 50~ looks like she's 10.

Most of the generic high school students don't even look like high school students at all. They look like they're 12 years old.

Yoko is 14 at the beginning of Gurren Lagann, but obviously after the time skip she is much older.

Pretty much all of the major characters of The Legend of the Legendary Heroes look older than they actually are.

Same with Highschool of the Dead, all the girls are like 15 and 16 but they have the tits like they're in their late 20s or early 30s.

Actually, most guys in anime look younger than their age. Characters who are 16, 17 whatever look like their twelve. It's basically because of their height. Aragi from Bakemonogatari is 18 and probably 5'7, same with alot of other MC's and im a whole foot taller than that.

Then again the Japanese are midgets *shrugs* lol

Yeah. While I was in Japan, quite a few of the women were smaller and looked very young compared to western women. The two host mothers I had were small and young looking. If I remember correctly they're in their 40s. Asians hold the secret to anti ageing. Yup.

its a pretty recent example but the little girls grandpa from chapters 200-220 of the world god only knows fits this perfectly, he looks like hes in his 20s but is old enough to have a deceased daughter, deceased son in law and a small 5 year old grandchild, so im guessing around 50 or so, hes a normal human as well, so far at least and has no reason for it either.
