Why are so many lesbians and straight men into anime?
Do lesbians like anime? I know a bunch of straight and a few gay men who like anime but I don't really know any lesbians who like anime (i don't think its a prerequisite). I'd assume why people like it is because they are good shows that just happen to be animated. The animation doesn't take away from the story while adding to the amounts of crazy stuff that can happen on it. I mean an anime has no need for a special effects budget like a live tv show. So if an Anime wants a giant octopus to fly into the empire state building then break into millions of smaller octopuses and fly into millions of smaller empire state buildings to all be killed by massive robots that turn into airplanes then they damn well can. If a live action show tried to pull that they'd need to spend A LOT more money on either very expensive special effects or even more expensive practical effects and even then it probably wouldn't look realistic. Anime's are bound to there own animation, while tv shows are bound by real life, basically its much easier to draw in a cartoon explosion than a real life one. I'm not a huge anime fan but this is why I watch it occasionally and why most of my friends watch it
What is the appeal of cute anime girls?
Animation allows for the construction of supernormal stimuli. In a moe character, every aspect of the design that could contribute to a “cuteness” response can be maximized, while all other attributes can be omitted. Some of these attributes are essentially physiological: our desire to protect infants is hard-wired based on a handful of attributes like head-to-body size ratio and eye-to-head size ratio (and without being hard-wired to protect infants in this way, most parents would murder their infant children, because of the stress involved in caring for an infant, so this is a very powerful force: it’s no surprise that this leads us to seek out everything from kittens and puppies to fuzzy spiders and snakes when they show these attributes). Other attributes are cultural, and correspond to types: clumsiness, eye glasses, bunny or maid costumes, knee socks, braids, bed-heads, shyness, outgoing precociousness, flattened affect, over-the-top emotions, sleepiness, and excess energy are all considered moe by different large groups of people (along with slightly crooked teeth, considered by many japanese as an indicator of youthful energy).‘Cute’ means different things, though, and where anime characters can be made supernormal stimuli of moe, they can also be made to overload our sense of sexual attractiveness. Overly sexualized characters rarely intersect with moe characters, but people who ask this question often confuse the two: moe characters aren’t supposed to be people you want to have sex with, but instead people you want to protect (and the term “moe” is a pun, combining the kanji for “budding” and “burning”, as in “I have a burning desire to ensure your continued healthy development during this fragile period in which you are coming into your own”).Anime’s capacity to produce supernormal stimuli is hardly limited to women. Look at JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure, and you’ll see the most extreme example of characters designed to appeal to our idea of what powerful men look like.

Do Japanese women really behave like in anime?
I was at a dinner with some Japanese friends and their friends, many of them were girls in their early 20's. At one point they got really excited about something, they got up, formed in a circle and made high pitched noises while jumping up and down. I sat there, taking in the waves of moe~ and thought aloud "This is just like one of my Japanese animes!"I saw this in real life, it was wonderfulAnother time, I was at a Japanese bar in Beijing. I thought that the cool atmosphere really felt like bars as depicted in anime and manga, one called Bartender in particular. I talked to the bartender for a bit, who was a Chinese (the owner was Japanese). She said that the reason she got into bartending was she read the Bartender manga, and felt this bar really reflected the mood of something she had otherwise only seen in fiction.A culture's media reflects its peoplePeople are influenced by the media they consumeThis applies to anywhere in the world. When I was in high school in the US a TV show called the O.C. was very popular among girls. It was a show about rich pretty teens in California. The effect on my high school was the girls started to dress like the TV show characters, take up the interests of the TV show characters, and talk like the TV show characters.Now of course, fiction and reality are not the same, but fiction is inspired by reality, and reality is influenced by fiction. There will be many differences, but also some similarities.
Why are anime girls so hot? How can real girls even compete?
Ok, here we go:Not all anime girls are hot. Some are not drawn to look hot. Some are tough fighters.2. Some are meant to be quite ugly.3. Of the anime women who are hot; they are hot because they were drawn to be hot. All the things that society imagines as “good looking” are unrealistically accentuated to make them look more “good looking” than is realistic.4. It’s not just anime women who are unrealistically hot. Many other animators have drawn unearthly beauties. Jessica Rabbit is quite famous for this.5. Real women don’t compete with cartoon characters. Real women don’t need to compete with cartoon characters. Cartoon characters are not real. No reasonable person expects real women to compete with cartoon characters. No one says: “Hey, that Marilyn Monroe was kinda pretty, but she was nothing compared to Sailor Moon.”6. I (a real woman) don’t need to compete with anime characters, or any other cartoon characters, or even with other famously beautiful real life women, or even my attractive friends. My goal is not to be the most beautiful woman. I didn’t “compete” for potential husbands by trying to be more beautiful than all the other women around. I “competed” by: being myself, with all my charms and quirks, and trying to find a good partner who I got along well with, who was compatible with me.7. Any man who would only marry me because he thought I was the most beautiful women, would only go on to leave me once I began to age and my looks started to wane. Trying to “compete” by being more “hot” is not a very good way to secure a long lasting relationship built on love and respect.
Why do anime girls look like sluts?
Okay, well a couple things:They don’t look like “sluts.” Sluts don’t exist. What you meant to say was “why are women in anime so often depicted as scantily clad?”Anime is a medium, not a genre. This is important because anime, unlike cartoons in the West, varies drastically (whereas Western cartoons are basically either made for children, or are adult comedies). There are anime shows that depict almost any topic you can think of. Sure, there’s the general fantasy/superhero/sci-fi stuff that’s very prevalent among Western viewers, but there’s tons more that’s about football, or high school drama, or serial killers, or street racing, or teaching, and plenty more. The topics, styles, moods, and tones in anime change drastically from show to show, so making any sort of blanket statement about anime is very difficult to do.So that having been said, why is it so common to see scantily clad women in a lot of anime that Western viewers are watching? Largely because the majority of that kind of anime is made by men, for men (and boys). So depicting women with massive breasts and small clothing seems perfectly reasonable, as they are marketing to their demographic.But I think it’s also a lot of confirmation bias. If you look at a cross section of some of the most popular anime series, and you will probably find a few that stick out like sore thumbs (Bleach, I think, is one of the biggest offenders here), but many more that don’t (Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragon Ball Z, One Punch Man, Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion). I think if you were to look at the overall numbers of female characters that are portrayed as large breasted, scantily clad women, they would be in the minority. But we tend to notice them more because they, ahem, stick out in our memory. Far more people remember Gurren Lagann’s Yoko Littner:Than they do Fullmetal Alchemist’s Winry Rockbell:I wonder why that could be?
Why Do Girls like Anime Guys?
Well Anime Guys are soooo much better than guys in real life in my opinion! They have traits you'll never find in regular guys too often. It is pretty normal for a girl to have a crush on an Anime guy. However I dont get why they are depressed over it...I like Kei from Special A, but he isn't real and it doesn't satisfy me. My guess is that is might actually be depressed over the fact that she can't meet a guy like that? I know the thought of me never meeting some guy like Usui from Kaichou Wa Maid Sama is a little sad, but I am not going to get super depressed about it. That is what watching Anime is for! You should tell her that he isn't real and she needs to be realistic and maybe help her find a real guy. I am pretty sure if she finds a real guy that she can like, she'll get over it. Eventually she'll get over it. I was sorta kinda like that about Light Yagami from DeathNote, but I eventually got over it.
