I agree with the above posts- 1. Nearly all of the previous "Anime" stuff HAS been hideous! The DAZ V3 "Anime" morphs look like the character is on a heavy benzadine binge after learning their entire family was killed in a plane crash. BIG WIDE EYES and a pointy nose do not ANIME Make. 2. StudioMaya's AnimeDoll is very successful because it really captures the Anime Look- of which there are many variations- but his has the "essence" of a good Anime chara. But most importantly, the AnimeDoll exhibits a "cute charm" that others who don't understand it, fail to see. Anime girls are ULTRA-FEMININE- yet they can act comical, stupid, heroic, viciously kill- and yet still keep that ultra-feminine cute charm! An Anime Girl character is the only one who can really fire a Chain-gun or wield a broad sword and never stop looking cute and feminine. 3.I think that the whole Anime Girl genre is also a "high-level" form of Japanese SATIRE! I think all the artists doing this in Japan KNOW its a GREAT FUN JOKE! That's why the more wildly elaborate the plots are, with all kinds of bizarre characters and props, with cute, feminine 15 year old looking girls doing the machine gunning and sword-wielding- the more wildly satirical and FUN it is!
