		<description>Its the &#039;noticeable&#039; issue.  In animated medium, when the drawing is not right, it sticks out like a sore thumb whether its 1 or 2 frames (which is probably worse for anime because the industry tend to forgo frames for detailed works.  How do you think people start going bonanza about Disney with sexual innuendo in their old cartoon movies?</description>

		<description>DON&#039;T LISTEN TO THIS RETARD!
One time I was hanging out with some friends and I told this really funny joke, but no one laughed and one guy hit me because one of my chopsticks was shorter than the other. Then I twisted my body in an abnormal position for 1/10 of a second and there was much drama.</description>

		<description>Just &#039;cause some people can&#039;t put their chin over their shoulder, nobody can? Not even fictional characters? Hold on, let me try... HOLY CRAP I CAN!! Oh wait, I&#039;m double-jointed, effectively making me an alien and defunct from voicing my opinion. Carry on.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s tremendous variations in flexibility, so don&#039;t judge what is possible just based on your own capabilities. An untrained person might be only able to twist his neck 28 degrees, whereas the very same person, after athletic training, can twist it ninety degrees - see http://www.somaxsports.com/Rigas.htm

If in addition to twisting your neck 90 degrees you also thrust a shoulder forwards (which you would do if you were about to throw something) your chin would certainly pass beyond your shoulder. Also, during a dynamic move the body can be more flexed than is possible in a static pose.

But, she&#039;s a can, a point which you didn&#039;t address. Last time I checked, cans couldn&#039;t twist their necks at all. So, maybe you have something.

What&#039;s up with the other pictures? The second one, for instance? I can see what people will imagine is the fault with it. An amorphous blob of a torso. Four arms instead of two. But anyone who has watched the episode will know that the girl has been given a second jacket because she&#039;s trapped in a cold room, and unlike the other characters she feels the cold. Maybe there&#039;s some flaw in the face, which I&#039;m missing, but if so it could have been demonstrated using *any* other picture of the same girl. Why use that particular picture, unless the purpose is to mislead those who haven&#039;t yet seen the video?

The highest budget films ever, things like Titanic and the original Star Wars, are wall to wall fail if you believe the lists of bloopers that are floating around. Cameras reflected in windows, late 20th century wristwatches on extras, star troopers shaking the scenery when they bang their heads on low doors, etc, etc, etc. Do you really expect an anime, one of many churned out on a conveyor belt for a relatively small audience, to surpass the production quality of the greatest ever worldwide blockbusters?

OK, some anime have great attention paid to detail, e.g. Kamichu has impressive scenery, but that is because the scenery is an important element in the success or failure of that anime. Akikan is all about innuendo and double entendre, or even single entendre. The sexual references don&#039;t get any less steamy just because one chopstick is momentarily shorter than another.</description>

		<description>I think you&#039;re mistaking anime &#039;breaches of reality&#039; with plain fail.

Also, her head is turned at [i]least[/i] 120°, and her chin is fully on the other side of her shoulder. Necks do not work that way.</description>

		<description>That &quot;third arm on the left side of his body&quot; is what&#039;s commonly known, in biological circles, as a leg. If you look carefully you&#039;ll see that there&#039;s also one on the right side of his body, though only the hip part of it is visible.</description>
