Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. If there is ever a fat character in anime/manga it's some ugly male otaku nerd. I've read some hentai manga with chubby girls though, and I think I saw a hentai clip with a fat girl too. They're very rare it seems.

Ryo Saeba works the streets of Tokyo as the City Hunter. He's a "sweeper" and with his sidekick Kaori Makimura, he keeps the city clean. People hire the City Hunter to solve their dangerous problems, which he does with a Colt Python. When Ryo's not working on a case, he's working on getting the ladies, and Kaori must keep him in check with her trusty 10 kg hammer.

This isn't exclusive to anime, it's been a very common trademark of entertainment to use attractive characters. Go watch a Spanish soap opera and tell me how many darker skinned main characters you see. Most people want something that is visually pleasing and it would be rather lame to have purposely ugly characters just for the sake of it.

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).

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 ^^)

Harem does not equal bad.
I was joking around, though I don't see City Hunter as a harem at least not in the usual sense.

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'm not talking about ugly MCs. I just mean side characters or within the class. Moe girls are ugly.

I wasn't talking about MCs either. I was talking about all anime characters.

I did read your previous posts ya know, genericusername1.

But how many of them are the main character and get to shag guys like Taylor Lautner? 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.

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.

I don't know if this is your intention, but you do know that the phrasing of this sentence implies that you want to watch fat and ugly people in real life, right?

Let's just agree that what was written might be a bit ambiguous.

If they're being portrayed as sympathetic they're gonna get drawn cutesy too, so I don't see the contradiction.

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.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

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
