I mean there's always these "reflections" which annoy the hell out of me and it doesn't even look like skin anymore.

Yeah that is a huge improvement. Would be even better without the red spots too, but at least those have the spanking appeal.
It's the red spot + shine combined that doesn't seem to have any appeal I can see. It just reminds me of giant zits, or burnt raw skin or something.

To get that shiny you'd need to bathe in more oil than what is used in gay porn with muscled men.
Been watching anime since around '79, and there are many things I could complain about if I gave fucks enough to write about.
This isn't one of them.
>>123326172
But her skin is not as specular.
The one OP is referring to is a hot spot of specular light. More diffused light is what is supposed to be like on skin, but in art for some reason it's like a car hood.
>>123327806
A car doesn't get red hot from sunlight
It doesn't really bother me that much. I'd like it if they put more attention into softness, but I don't really care. My waifu has it in a few scenes, so I guess I like it
>>123323801
Pretty sure /a/ calls this pimple skin, and yeah, it's universally hated. At least your pic isn't so bad. When the ontrast gets turned up super high and the pink patch becomes almost red it's pretty horrible.

Next thing you retards are going to be bitching about diminutive noses and oversized eyes.
There's no conspiracy to make anime less appealing to you; The industry is not descending into a dark age of crappier character designs. You're at fault for being incapable of appreciating the art.
You just have shit taste.
I like it. Oiled-up girls are sexy.

What are you talking about?
They make skin look like candy, who wouldn't like such a wonderful thing?
>>123329090
This, you guys are fucking faggots. I'd understand if we were talking about robots being shaded this way, but we're not, we're talking about butts and boobs.
I like it, it takes me even further from reality.
It depends on how it's done. I love it most of times but it's also awful in the hands of some shit artists.
It's better with less red/pink, sometimes there's too much.

>>123330004
>>123330048
I don't look at 3DPD, so I wouldn't know, but that looks much different than the OP pic to me
>>123330121
>Once again, that's not what 3DPD naturally looks like.
>naturally
I'm claiming "fanservice" is trying to imitate 3dpd magazines
>>123330048
that explains the white shine, but why the red?
>>123330152
And 3DPD is imitating 2D.
That's why this phenomenon is only in a 2D medium and not in real life.
>>123330152
You do know that anime characters are based off of human beings, right? I'm not saying that they look in whatever normalfag magazine and go "let's copy this, this is what people want", but 2D is based off of 3D. It's inevitable that certain things will show up in the character design.
>>123330219
I think I read somewhere it's supposed to make the skin look like it's blushing
>>123330232
and human beans are based on primates, doesn't mean we try to be as hairy as possible
>>123330152
It makes them look "warm".
>>123330268
Then what the fuck do you want?
Having shiny skin is 3DPD, and having normal skin is 3DPD. Having two eyes is also 3DPD, along with a mouth and breasts and hair.
>>123330268
I don't know why you think that OP's pic looks anything like 3DPD, though. They're completely different things, are you going to give 2D shit for having boobs because 3D does too?
>>123330221
>That's why this phenomenon is only in a 2D medium and not in real life.
>>123330352
I'm confused as to why you have so many 3DPD pictures. Why do you think that's what's in the OP image?
>>123330352
Yes, yes, keep posting photoshopped photos. Prove my point further.
>>123330382

>>123330352
>>123330048
They're wet in these images, so of course they're shiny.
>>123330352
You realize that normal humans don't look like this, right
>2D has breasts, they're just trying to make things more 3DPD
>>123330342
>>123330352
More likely, I think shinyness is used to emphasize the form of the body in both cases, and one isn't necessarily based on the other. There are differences such as the soft blush tones in 2D and bronzed look in 3D.
>>123330352
I don't think you quite understand how that actually looks in real life.
>>123330437
That's why I'm confused. It's obvious that it's being used in both instances, but they're completely different. You literally can't make a 3DPD girl look like >>123325960 for instance.
>>123330352
Why do newfags bring up 3DPD shit for no reason and then flood the thread with them?
>oh no! someone is shining big red lasers on my oppais!
That particular way of drawing a rosy shade under a shiny part is always a sure way to know it's an ecchi show. Literallly every time.
I also have some problems with it, I think it makes the skin look irritated and sort of like it'd sting if you touched it.
>>123330561
I don't think that's applicable. Like, there may be one scene where it shows up and then never again, like a beach episode.
>>123330470
Yeah, I don't agree that they are trying to make 2D look 3D, but there's a possibility that the technique was derived from looking at 3DPD models etc.
>>123330561
>a sure way to know it's an ecchi show.

I don't know how you guys see zits. Well, I do, but I don't know how you equate that shine with them. It's like you're just looking for reasons to be pissed off, I hardly ever even notice it.
>>123330700
>other people can't have different viewpoints unless I understand them
>>123330268
>doesn't mean we try to be as hairy as possible
I do, it's fucking rad
>>123330749
Where the fuck did you get that from? Have whatever opinion you want, it just seems like you're purposefully making yourself think of something disgusting when you see them.
Red makes them look burnt and sore. Shine makes them look greasy. A completely horrible combination. Japanese women in real life use special towels so that they can always be free from excess grease. Matte looks clean. Shiny does not look clean.
>>123330700
>I hardly ever even notice it
Yeah, I haven't noticed it since about the first time I saw it which was years ago.
I prefer something like >>123323801 or >>123325960 over >>123281733, straight up titty blushes look weird.
>>123330700
Skin looks like that when you get stung, sunburned or don't bathe. I don't even know what the hell kind of skin condition one must have to get red blemishes along with light reflecting
>>123330805
>>123330845
Like I said, I don't even think about it. If anything, I think it gives more detail to the breasts, as opposed to just being soccer balls drawn on a girl's chest.

So they took a portion of what makes a wet look attractive, and applied it to things that are not wet, because its pleasing to the eye in the same way. There are countless other artistic choices made in anime that are drawn because they look good - not because they mimic reality.
They're sunburns.
Don't be mean to anime girls. Can you imagine how painful getting sunburnt on your breasts would be?
>>123332938
Being wet does >NOT< produce giant red blemishes around the part where light reflects

You're funny.
>>123334430
Then you still have to factor in the intensity and distance of the light for it to produce such redness
It's supposed to show that the skin is so smooth is reflects light, IRL you need oil for it but even then >>123329090

>>123325176
Holy shit. You can't be this autistic.
Look, it's quite simple. For decades, female models in gravure and porn shoots have been rubbed with oil and then sprayed with water so they look shiny. Japanese animators have only ever seen gravure/porn and never actually seen the skin of real natural girls, and so they think it must be shiny too.
>>123324346

It's the redness, that shit makes no sense and needs to fuck off promptly

I'll grant you that it's a bit unusual but I'm more annoyed by the increasing number of anime girls with visible lips with natural colors (while simultaneously not making the artstyle more realistic.) Naturally, that makes the anime girl look like an alien.
If that's not recent, I guess I just noticed it after six years of anime garbage.
