    You know…. I used to enjoy some of these pictures until people pointed out the flaws in them. Now I can’t look past the flaws.

    P.S. Pretty sure the Kanon picture is shopped =P

    Lol. Being Serious here. I couldn’t catch some of them. Like the 2nd, and 3rd ones.

    Also the Leg turn one wasn’t that bad considering a Human can turn using their bodies and let their feet turn using the Force and Slide on the ground. Though I’d have to see the scene to see if it didn’t flow properly…

    No you still don’t see the “leg turn” error. It’s more like a “leg switch”.

    Some people are born with 6 fingers, so maybe it wasnt an animation error?

    The lady with the reversible legs though….thats probably where they got the idea for the sculpt of Extravaganza Mikuru.

    Yeah, I think it’s Haruhi. For a few episodes there was another animation error with Haruhi walking in the OP. I guess it’s a hard thing for those guys to get right or something.

    I sometimes wonder if this is why so many western comics are drawn so crudely and un-life-like: So if they make mistakes, no one will notice.

    Also, if you check the girl’s leg that is “under” the other girl, it first goes outward from the knee down, only to be “warped” closer to each other later.

    Some of them I can’t notice what is wrong, it seems I’ve become complacent to fail.

    Surprised there was no Bleach here, but I guess that would be far too easy, or has been done to death. At least five times they have placed the wrong hand on the wrong arm, which seems kind of easy to tell.

    I think the very long limbs in xxxHolic (#23) is a deliberate and conscious artistic trait made by CLAMP, which is faithfully carried over by Production IG in the anime adaptation, rather than an unintended mistake. Doesn’t take anything away from the story being entertaining though.

    Damn straight we do! It’s really annoying to get a pic of a character’s feet and then realize that there’s an error like the left foot on the right leg or there’s only 4 toes. It’s even worse if that’s your only pic of that character’s feet (or all the other pics don’t give good detail to the feet).

    Looking at it zoomed in, I think one of those lines is the edge of her knee, visible behind her fingers. Her left hand, holding the sword, seems to just be at an angle where you can see the crease of her palm.

    Seems fine to me. Maybe her toes are backwards inside her boots? =P

    Not to mention if you were to be supporting yourself with your knee and hand, you use your hand facing inwards, (thumb on the outside)
    And try to have the palm on the floor not the tip of the fingers

    I understand the freakish urge to lick your weapon, but you don’t lick the sharp side…

    I just checked that scene. In the TOEI Kanon ep 2, 07:01, that scene is just fine. The mouths are lower than the eyes. This might be the DVD version though.

    Although TOEI character designs for the Kanon characters are a bit weird to begin with… they aren’t *that* weird.

    It might be a fake as someone said earlier.

    Look at how she’s sitting in the window well. She doesn’t quite seem to fit right, does she? :) Her right hand is also backwards. With her palm down, her thumb should be away from the body. Also her other hand doesn’t quite look right (although it’s at least on right :)), and her undercarriage doesn’t seem to be at the right angle compared to her upper body and waist.

    For all of us budding artists, a small tip I’ve learned: After you draw your skeleton sketches and after you’ve drawn the actual body, look at your picture through the back of the sheet or in a mirror. You’ll be shocked to see how many perspective failures you’ll spot right away.
