She looks Japanese to me.

Also the squinty eyed looked is considered unattractive in Japan and in fact, asian culture in general.

I think the squinty-eyed look is considered unattractive around the world.

Dude is okay but that girl doesn't look wabbanese at all.

They want to be white.

Because Japanese people are ugly.
Do you really want ugly people in your anime?
>>
>>116734940
Because its unattractive, and the Japanese don't like reminders of how ugly they are.
That being said, Mushishi did a very good job of portraying faces while still being slightly stylized.
>>
>>116736299
>>116736298
This.

It just wouldn't work.
>>
But they do, that's why the faces are so round and moe
>>
>>116736299
It's scary just how much they resemble those things from shoujo manga.

Is this a JAV?

Those aren't Ganguro girls.
Pic related is.

There's not much to explain, apart from them being an easy lay, and basically non-existent anymore.

>>116736649
What did they do to Patchouli?
>>
>>116736584
A bunch of Japanese girls and women try becoming the complete opposite of traditional japanese women.

Dark skin, dyed hair, colorful shit in their outfits and wild hair. Like a mountain goblin.
>>
>implying american cartoons are drawn to look like americans

>>116736748
Ganguro died out anyway.
>>
>>116736584

They look like any western teenage girl to me.
>>
>>116736584
>>116736605

I always figured it was their weird, Japanized attempt to look like American dumb, blonde, LA style whores. They think it's glamorous.

I mean what do you want, though? They are fucking teenage girls. Nothing they do or like makes any sense if you think about it too much.

Because modern anime use the same anatomy of 3DCG Disney (see >>116735972): Big eyes and heads with small mouth.

It's far more palatable to the common consumer; anyone with half a brain can tell Jin-Roh faces are ugly, meanwhile anime of pseudo-Disney faces gets some popularity

What's the problem? The guy in the middle is not fat enough?

Then this?

I mean it's sort of hard to find female examples since Wolf Brigade is mostly just about 2 characters but it isn't like they couldn't take some artistic license and model characters off the kind of girls in nip idol groups who definitely don't suffer from the squinty eyes.
>>
>>116736584
That's kogal. Think of girls who wear ganguro more like the people who go full on gothic. They were going against conventional beauty standards and doing their own thing. The majority of people don't find it attractive and they know it.

Kogal is, however, attempting to attractive in the same manner as slutty bimbos in your highschool were.

>>116736753
I don't see anything wrong with that American you posted. Reminds me of my neighbor.

Outside of some movies (Jin-Roh or Satochi Kon) Anime dont want realistic characters.
Japanses faces are objectively ugly and make people look creepy, there's no reason to have them in a medium which relies on the idea of perfection so much.
>>
The only director that had the balls to air japanese looking people in anime is Satoshi Kon.
And you know what happened to him.
>>
>>116736753

This is standard for western animation

Well, they were.
>>
Does anime look like any particular ethnicity?
>>
>>116737992
It's called the dick-appealing ethnicity.
>>
>>116736584
>ganguro
more like gangrene
