that anime avatar meme...

[ratcreature]

All day yesterday there appeared these avatars on my f-list which were made with this generator, and frankly I think they look kind of crappy, and I don't even like manga-style. Yet in a fairly irrational response I started to feel like I missed some fun, so I checked out the generator, but I actually didn't have much fun playing, because really the choices don't fit at all with my virtual self-image. For one, the noses offered are all far too small. :D

When I tried whether my cartoon might lend itself towards a maga-style adaption however, the results were fairly horrible and slightly scary. You can judge for yourself:



(I can't draw worth crap in manga style, so I only did the head, no clothes or anything elaborate.)

Anime characters should have tiny noses!

I know, I know. But there is no way I'd give up my virtual nose! *clutches her big round nose tightly*

Manga style is apparently all about the nose-hate (I mean you can have eyes that aren't big and round sometimes, but I have yet to see a large nose), but most comics I loved as a kid gave the lovable characters big round noses, like Asterix or Gaston, or the Marsipulami or the smurfs... *g*

But I can see where your cognitive dissonance is coming from.
