i like my men pretty
Heh, I'm all about the eyes - I'll overlook many things if the guy has beautiful eyes. Or hair - I like guys with enough hair to hold onto. ^_^;;
Certainly explains why I like to look at anime guys with long hair and effeminate features (effeminate meaning 'lovely' not really 'female' in the strictest sense since - as Izumi noted - they are male in gender). I don't think there's any harm in making characters pretty - there are pretty men in real life, but anime is fantasy. If artists can't make characters pretty just because the creator wants to, then there isn't much point in drawing anime - just write the story if you don't want the art to be lovely. o.O
Where's the fun in that? Don't like lovely characters, don't watch anime that has lovely characters. Makes sense to me. ^_^
