I'm a John Wayne Gung-Ho American type, but I have YET to see any Westerner with an "anime" character that looks anywhere near as good as AnimeDoll. Whoever designed Aiko didn't GET IT either. Americans and Westerners can't seem to GET the FUN, CUTE, CHARMING FEMININITY that Japanese put into their Anime charas. Somehow they get only a "darker" and more "dulled down" anime look. StudioMaya gets IT because he's right in the middle of it. And as personal schools of anime-manga, I still think Motsura has the best MANGA charas. He was WAY AHEAD of everyone in the Poser area but still gets little credit for it. I like Mayu and Yuka, but they are 3rd on my favorite Anime-Manga list- but they are nice, good-spirited Anime girl charas and still way ahead of Aiko, LaRue, DAZ Anime Morphs, etc.
