So you're admitting you're utterly ignorant on the subject. Yet you continue posting. That's called trolling.
No, disagreeing with you =/= admitting ignorance and trolling.
I already told you a few times, anime = mass-production and most anime girls DO look the same and ARE reproductions of each other.
Maybe you have to learn that disagreeing with you does not automatically make someone ignorant, claiming such thing, now THAT'S arrogant.
Considering the lead female in that video has only slightly smaller breasts and eyes than Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, I find this statement amazingly hypocritical.
Slighty? Okayyyyyyyyyyy maybe you have to watch that short movie twice because you clearly are wrong, but okay, not as if it matters. Like if it's all about the breast size anyway. It's just the overall style. In that short movie, even though the woman doesn't say anything, she already has more personality than almost every cliché anime babe. Now before you're going to attack me again on this one, I know not ALL anime babes are cliché, but many are.
So even if your problem was presenting realistic proportions -- which it isn't; you're just being arrogant -- who cares? Art is idealized, anyway. Very few women have perfect measurements in all three sizes with attractive faces; the same holds true for idealized male characters with lean yet muscular bodies and a knock-out face. It's a FANTASY. Like imagining a gorgeous character in a book, male or female. Or ogling pictures of Misato from Evangelion or any of the male leads from Utena; or having a fantasy of Rebecca Romijn Stamos or Christian Bale.
You don't have to tell me how to draw a "perfect" female figure. I know how anatomy works and I know how exaggeration on a few element can make a character more attractive such as longer legs, bigger hips and smaller waist. Frankly, giving it size XXL boobs is not an effective method on making attractive female characters. It might work on teenagers, but usually "anime boobs" look utterly fake when they're bigger than natural. Natural breasts have the shape of a teacup, not a balloon.
So they're all elitists douchebags with double standards? It's a liberal arts college online?
No it's not. Many of us art student actually really love to watch anime. We all watch anime in our free time, we all have a few favorite series (especially series like Trigun and One Piece are loved at our school) and some of us have manga collections that go over 100 volumes. We love anime, but we will never claim anime is artistic, because it's usually not. Then why do we still love anime? Hmmm, because of the stories, the fact that overall anime series are a little more mature than American and/or European cartoons, the anime fights are usually awesome to look at and some anime series like One Piece have a very cool and good characters.
But concept art is all about standing out, creating your own style, not drawing a simple mass-production style that anyone can learn to draw. That's why anime-drawings will not get you into art-school.
Which is different from any medium of entertainment how...?
Well, in many other media the characters are usually a little more realistic, have a little more depth and are a little less cliché. Disney for example, always know how to create strong, original and believable characters. But some anime's have very good and strong characters too, but many such as Naruto and Bleach are more towards cliché.
Which indicates that you actually haven't watched much anime or read much manga.
I have watched Bleach from the beginning to the most current episode.
I've watched Naruto from the beginning to episode 100 of Shippuuden.
I've watched One Piece from the beginning to the most current episode.
I've watched Trigun from the beginning to the end.
I've watched Soul Eater.
I've watched Death Note.
I've of course like everyone else watched Dragonball Z in it's entirely.
I've watched Detroit Metal City.
I've watched Pokémon and Digimon.
I've watched a few Gundam series.
Do I really need to continiue?
Agreed. Though anime is both a trend and a general style, or maybe I should say anime is a style trend, which it is.
Like American animation, French animation, American film, American music, English music, French literature, American literature...
So now you're going to put ANIME on the same level as LITERATURE? You gotta be kidding right?
Anime is mass-production in the sense that every week thousands of people are drawing like mad people to finish episode 3784672374 of the series they're working on. Quality is not as important as their deadline and that's usually while anime styles are very simple and basic. It's something anyone can do and that's why the job doesn't get paid very well.
Did you know what anime was actually invented during the crisis after the war because with it's simple style it was very cheap to produce films and animations? They where able to massively produce films for very low budgets in a small amount of time, it was A LOT cheaper to make than more complicated and more artistic styles such as Disney's.
This is just an obnoxious, fallacious statement that I don't even know where to begin.
No, it's not obnoxious nor it is fallacious, it's the truth, I can know because I've seen many people come and go because they only could draw anime style characters.
