Are anime characters supposed to look like emos?

[Anonymous]

When I used to be 5 I usually looked at the TV and saw pokemon (Even cried when I got scared by two anime boys fighting 😂😂).. I thought they were all emos.. ash and Brock with the spiky hair.. are anime characters just supposed to be feminine? Is that why they have the long hair over the face and the cute attitude? Is it anime's ideal to look feminine? Or is it just me who thinks they all look like emos? What do you think?

Well not "emos" but Japan loves everything cute or "kawaii", which is why they even decorate their train stations with anime things and even make statues of them. That's why they made things like Hello Kitty and Hatsune Miku and those characters are super popular their.

So its cuteness that they love, emo-ness or femininity. But I guess I see what you mean now lol.

... the second pic is from watamote right? thats a girl.

anyway. in japan, if you look at the visual kei scene you can see it as well. generally, I would say your confusion is caused by a cultural difference.

i dont study japanese ideals, but based on their celebrities I would say that a feminine looking man is more attractive to then.

[gypsophila]

so they draw them that way. because its attractive to them.

Yes It's the girl from watamote, thanks for opinion 🖤

this is the first time i've ever heard someone call Brock emo xD

[Asker]

Not really, even my cousin screamed out emo to brock

[CassiveMunt]

Brock is one of the most romantic anime characters there is. He tried to seduce every cute gIrl he meets and marry her.

emos alongside with sadboys take a huge inspiration on anime characters, the way they act, dress, put up their hair, so is mre like the other way around. and yes, they are meant to look more feminine, bc in Asian cultures being feminine is more attractive

[xXHozanXX]

I have no I idea what your talking about. What's the name of the anime who's pic is below death note?

[Asker]

*sighs deeply* Google "emo boys and girls" then you will see almost realistic anime characters

[Asker]

The anime is Watamote

[xXHozanXX]

I know what emo is and I saw your pic too.(your kinda cute). What I dont understand is ASH IS EMO? Doesn't your hair have to hang over your face for it to be emo?(I don't know I'm asking )

[Asker]

My hair is hanging over my face rn...

[xXHozanXX]

partially and I like the color of your hair too.

[AlexEfron]

I don't know... But anime characters usually have cool hairstyles. I don't understand how it makes them "feminine"

[Asker]

They act like weebos, they have longer hair, round faces

[AlexEfron]

😂😂

[BleachyPeachyBoi]

Not really, but yeah I can see where you would get that idea.

[Nandor]

There is many anime out there so you can't say that about all of them.

[Anonymous]

[Asker]

Ikr, but they have this long hair over the face

[Opinion Owner]

[the3ghzpc]

I don't know if they supposed to but they do

[disgustingweebtrash]
