Is it creepy to see female characters in anime, far more attractive than real people?

It's nothing to the point of an obsession, but why am I always so infatuated by anime girls over real girls? It is most likely artistic manipulation, and their general intention, but honestly, take a look at your average woman in real life, then think about this...



and I immediately lose touch with reality. I am not obsessed or strange, but I have almost no attraction to real people.

It's not strange to find them more appealing than real life, since that's what they are designed for. However, I do believe that anime characters is nothing against natural beauty.

It's not creepy, just a fetish.....no a preference? I can't think of the word to describe it. Whatever the word is there's really nothing that wrong with. I find anime guys more attractive than real guys.

Not at the very least. They can be designed and redesigned to make it as attractive as possible after all.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

It's because anime is unrealistic. Every anime character is made to look as good as a 10/10 rl human.

If you think female anime characters are more beautiful than the real-life female, it is fine. But, if you are more sexually attracted(want to marry them, have sex with them, etc.) to female anime characters than the real-life female, now that is creepy.
I like anime.

No, just a mild infatuation. That is truly freaky, but I'm nothing like that.

It's actually more normal to see them that way, they are purposefully made without human faults. They don't even have pores or body hair whatsoever (unless it's a running gag for the character in question), let alone bigger (and smaller but more noticeable) issues. I mean just for one massive example that I just kind of mentioned, anime characters have one perfectly solid piece of skin. Not only is it all that one perfect shade all around - but it's fully filled in and consistent. Without pores, veins, wrinkles (such as on your finger's knuckles), hair, discoloration, etc they come off like porcelain, which is much more attractive to people (that smooth look of their skin). Real people aren't just imperfect - they're also inconsistent, and inconsistency is unattractive to people.

Basically, the further you get from reality while keeping them human, the more attractive people become.

Kind of like how the jump from DVD to BD porn shocked a lot of people, and not in a good way. The quality was so high in the BD porn that you could see TOO much detail of the girl and it's kind of gross that way. In person you don't have camera zoom and are too busy anyway, it's different on your tv or monitor.

Nah, there's nothing creepy about it. Anime characters are drawn by skilled artists, many of which are pervs. So naturally anime girl's are going to be pretty attractive.

I honestly think you haven't seen a really beautiful out of this world woman in your life. 5 seconds will take your mind off anything else in the world, you'll forget every loli girl you've ever seen. These women exist, but they're a rare breed. Happy hunting.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Wow, that's informative. I suppose seeing dat protruding nose hair while the girl is giving a blowjob is kind of a turn off..

No. It should come in the territory that anime characters should be panty droppers for viewers to fantasize and buy their merchandise.

many of the attractive anime characters are drawn to be extremely pleasing to the eye. Big eyes and awesome colorful hair. Plus they don't get acne or things like that. Can have any desirable figure, so go figure people find anime more attractive than actual human beings.

Though the human beings are actually real. Sometimes I wish human beings looked like anime characters.

Anime characters are pretty much designed to be flawless in a way that reality can't much, so it's not that strange. There's also some specific artistic beauty to them.

That being said, they're so different from real people in the first place that it's hard to even compare the two, so I don't really feel affected by it in my daily life.

Ideal > Reality.

Animation is just the pinnacle of ideal as of now. Perhaps one day virtual reality will be possible and that will be the new medium of the ideal.

If you have seen a fair amount of my posts, you'd know that I'm all for Anime people being superior to real people in turns of attraction.

To be honest, I find it hard to even get enjoyment out of real people anymore. Wrong? Maybe. Do I care? Not really.

It's normal, the ideal person is next to impossible to find these days.

What's not normal is bringing a daki on a train or in public for the matter.

Hakon, what are chances of you ending up with such a woman in reality? At least anime characters are non-existent in "real life" and can't technically be had by anyone, so pure sexual appeal is much higher IMO. IRL I don't find girls that are not virgins (Especially ones my age) attractive mainly for the reason that they let some guy fuck them and gave up on staying together or made a poor choice and he cheated/whatever to her. This is one of the reasons I fucking hated high school, because that's all it was is horny teens and grinding all over each other. Every week was another story of some stupid girl that thought her 15-18 year old boyfriend loved her then had sex and he left her a few weeks later.

I honestly don't care what she looks like as long as she's got a decent personality and isn't a big slut. I know I'm not perfect by any means of the word, but damn if I won't stay loyal to someone I actually love. This is one of the main reasons I love moe shows, and anime in general. Most archetypes are enjoyable and character designs are pleasing to the eye.

Also any show with moe characters (Pretty much everything nowadays even the serious shit) are going to have characters that you'll absolutely adore. Possibly even obsess over, as that's the point. They're designed to be so fucking perfect you HAVE to like them, and WANT them. That's where figures come in.

*Edit for more opinions and shit...

There's a difference between weird and creepy. Finding anime girls more desirable than a real human is far less "Creepy" than a lot of crazy ass fetishes people have out there.

/rant that will probably get ignored and/or called creepy.

ON TOPIC

No OP it's perfectly normal for you to think anime characters are more attractive then real humans because as so many above me have said, that's what they are designed to be. In fact it's probably more weird to find them unattractive because I know people who hate general anime, yet love hentai/echii pictures and whatnot. It might be a fetish, but it's really hard to say. Bottom line is anime characters are attractive and most people feel this way.

No, just a mild infatuation. That is truly freaky, but I'm nothing like that.


It's legal to marry a fiction character in Japan eh. All you need is to get approval from the creator of the character and for that character to be of legal age by the year you want to marry them. I found out about this when looking in the book of world records. Just remember. Asuka is illegal, as she would only be 12 in 2013, and Nagisa Furukawa would be illegal, as she is either married or dead.

not that I'm into that stuff.
