| I don't really think they look the same... it's just the author's style. |

| lol it actually made me laugh they obviously aren't identical but the similarities out weight the differences |

| And their thoughts had never occured that different art designers have different styles than others, thus actually, make some series in anime look quite different than others? Overgeneralization from the general population had never ceased to amaze me. But perhaps I'm overgeneralizing that the general population are the ones always making the overgeneralizations, when actually, it's just the little minorities that have nothing to do except complain about some niche media being looked the same. Hmmm. |
| There is one key difference in US vs Japanese styles: Caricature. Psychologically, our minds determine facial features in ways different than cameras. When looking at a face, certain parts of the face stand out more than others. For example, you can draw President Bush in so many different ways; but yet, you'll be able to identify them as caricatures of Bush just by looking at them. Apparently, to Americans, the lips and nose tend to stand out. In a sense, I tend to notice that when I look at a white person. To Asians, we see the eyes and small lips. It's kinda ironic considering that we Asians are quite squinty. XD Anyways, just look at a bunch of characters, and y'generally see these trends. Naturally, with every trend, there is variation. |

| Disney's princesses and Ariel's sisters do look really similar. But the thing is, some artists just can't draw characters who look unique (meaning, not looking like twins etc), esp for the shoujo genre where most girls and guys look very much like copies of one another. |
| characters all not all about looks! |
| Thing is, whether we like it or not, the human face has limitations on appearance. There's only so many ways to draw a face. If enough people attempt to draw a face, it's ordinary they eventually all look similar. Keep in mind, manga/comics, anime/cartoons are drawn by people that have perfected a 'look' they like to draw, and don't do portrait art. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
| OMFG YOU MEAN IF AN ARTIST DRAWS IN A CERTAIN STYLE THE FACES WILL LOOK ALIKEEEEE? NOWAAAAIIIIIIIIIII I think this is pointing out the obvious, lol. :D |
     I am the senpai that notices you. |
| depends on the style of the creator. it is expected that characters have same characteristics because they are just made by the same animator. well if they are not lazy they can create a very unique one. |
| Thats pictures are .. funny ;d Maybe it's author style, but they looks almost the same.. ;) |
This is why they think all anime looks the same. My dear friends, I can answer you as one who was with them only 2 years ago. You are almost right, most (but not everyone) of them really think so because of animation is as in school anime. The second point is mimicry, I mean it couldn't be so bad if the characters had just huge eyes, or mouth, or something else :) -- style is intertwining with mimicry and emotions. For an unprepared person it looks like "Damn, what are these big-headed and extremely emotional disgusting motherfuckers?". Even now I think that they are right in saying that... for the most of anime. And the last: to be critical, many animes that even I consider to be great have many characters that are very similar in this context (not in the meaning of their inner selves or behaviours). |
| Artists are lazy. |

| What a necro. The thing is, each artist tends to stick with a certain style. Just like musicians tend to make sort of similar music that they have made in the past, or authors that tend to write for example fantasy stories. Also, I wish people would understand that their stupid realizations are usually not worth discussing. The cat has been out of the bag before they were even born. |
