Is anime accurate in these terms?

So you know how literally every anime girl in a single series looks exactly the same jsjt with different hairstyles the same way how some Cartoon Network characters do? Like Steven and Gumbal for instance. Is anime implying that all Japanese girls don’t look different from one another? No dog damn wonder they have such exotic hair colors which are apparently natural.

That's just how the style works. Anime/manga style relies on exaggeration and keeping things simple. At lof of the the things that make a face unique, for example face shape, nose shape, and skin folds are simplified. Not only is this easier, but more importantly it lets the eyes of the character pop out, which are arguably the single most important part to convey the characters' feelings.

It's also simply a matter of aesthetics. To many people a very subtle nose and mouth look a lot better then the big and very obvious ones you tend to see in cartoons.

I've also seen anime and manga where characters have unique faces. There's a lot you can do with just eyes, eyebrows, color, and extra traits (eg. scars, freckles).

I think its just easier and faster to animate instead of making a different face for every character.

It’s kind of easy though, just look at background characters from live action movies, like Free Guy for instance. There’s a ton of people in there that you can’t get sued over. Or I do know, for some reason you can get sued over the absolute dumbest sh*t. Like, I bet in 5 or so years, people Willa try suing each other just because they happen to wear the same shirt or something.

Or just people in general, they don’t have to be from movies. Maybe shoe promotion posters

Either what you said or the only thing they’ve seen that’s remotely close to a real human in person is generic Waifus. Like, eat a fu-ing salad, it doesn’t even have to have all of that extra weird gross stuff, just a simple ball of lettuce

It’s never felt anything like that to me.
