Through your peregrination in Manga , Anime or Nippon stuff, dipping thereby in cotemporaneous japanese culture of
kawaii, have you never seen what could be the ultimate or partial sources of their special style of drawing or
imitation(for instance,this one ^_^' )?
Here is a thread destinated for people having an interesting and pertinent theory , explaining the brusque shift of
culture in Japan at the end of World War II.
First, I'll give my own theory for instance:
( N.B. The contain of this proposition hasn't any explicit or implict racist or alike regards towards
Japaneses.)
At the peep of a new era after the world war II, Japan suffered a terrific defeat, which consisted of the most lethal
weapon ever created, whereupon United States stinted harshly any mobilisation of army in Japan as well for Germany.
Being an excessive competitive nation, there were no other alternatives to be powerful if not to opt an economic way.
Hereby, They created their own style hight Japanimation in order to struggle the most powerful empire:Americans. There
is another possibility: they transform their culture into a western culture.
By the way , as regards the big kawaii eyes , given the fact they appreciate the eyes of westerners , they extrapolated
that it will a great fashion to put these one in Anime.
Furthermore, Asian nations didn't like their own eyes, prooved by the proliferation of blepharoplasty( surgery of
the eyelids).
Just for making my theory stronger, in consideration of the short height of Japaneses, they heighten the cartoon
personages by raising the length of their limbs.
*The following statement isn't for thin-skinned mind, skip it if you wish*
(Moreover, generally, in Anime, young women bear irregular dimensions of breast: big one.
Nonetheless, in Japan , we know all that female asian bears a smaller one.)
There are also the multicolour hairs, etc.
I hope that you'll don't take offense with this last theory(this is radically not my purpose to flay you), I'm just trying to undecipher the mystery of the new cult of beauty in Japan: Kawaii"ness.
Ergo, OTAKU of all kind , cerebrate, cogitate and bring forth pretty theories. ;)
See you
