What's good about anime ? Why do you love that anime character so much ? They are not real , right ? A real girl lover friend ask me such question. I mean a friend who love real girl a lot compare to 'japanese cartoon girl'.
Actually the answer is so simple, just say it 'moe' or cute, then there's nothing left to complain. But, I can't answer something like that toward passionate friend who searching for enlightenment. So, I got no choice than to give him deeper thought.
This it was I said to him:
Do you know why every anime character has big eyes, big breast, but slim waist can be called quite 'normal' ? Why they can act so lovely, so there will be so much fans adore her ? Of course, they should be loveable because they depict the ideal version of human being. If not, why normal woman do plastic surgery to every part of the body to make them look more 'perfect'. So, subconsciously anime character is recognized as better role model than real human.
There's another reason why we like anime 'moe' face. If in the Leonardo da Vinci era, ideal woman is depicted as bulky woman, then in this pop culture era, anime has every criteria of ideal being. Every era has its own culture. Right now, anime is our culture.
