"id thin the arms down a bit, they look a little too beefy for anime, and in proportion to her legs and torso. also, id round her breasts more. they look a little flat and conical, as opposed to the little rounded spherical ones you see in anime." Where do people get these ideas? It's probably because so many animes in the last 10 years have featured overly developed prepubescent girls. :( Anime is a medium.... but even as a sub Genre of that medium Japanese animation has many many styles with every type of body style you can imagine. From very realistic to ridiculously stylized. Every character designer and manga artist have a unique style. Though certain common features often but don't always appear. If I was gonna pick 2 features that I said were quintessentially anime it would be large eyes (varrying from slightly large to huge) and disproportionately long legs...anything else varies tremendously from artist to artist. (The legs are more of an 80s thing though... :)) Sorry about this I've just seen these types of comments one too many times. BTW The character looks great. Very authentic (Unlike Aiko which suffers from the type of misconceptions about anime that many non fans seem to have.) will she be commercial? I'd probably buy her IF she comes with enough morphs to create a few different characters.
