It is a game. Characters in games often shoot fire from their hands, can fight armies and get instantly healed by eating something or just standing still.

Why does it matter if their muscles are big or not?

  I dislike girly male characters but it should be refined also not just this dumbass beef cake I’m a fairly big guy even by European standards and I dont go around going urgh argh me smash, being tall and muscular does not make you stupid and likewise I have more slender friends that aren’t girly at all one is gay but more manly then a team of Rugby players It’s just like not all japanese guys are these homogeneous in between man and woman guys

  The Japanese demonstrate about as much tact when dealing with western audiences in general as they do when depicting black people in their videogames. Every black person is apparently a jive-talker with an afro according to the Japanese, and every American is apparently a sexually-insecure, testosterone-filled barbarian who couldn’t possibly relate to a male lead who isn’t built like a gorilla. *sigh*

  I don’t think these people have ever actually talked to real American consumers. EVER.

  This list hurts to read. Only redeeming parts are SSY and Fate/Zero. I can’t believe Titan is even on the list only a few episodes in. Also no Bakemonogatari, Durarara, Clannad, Spice and Wolf, NHK or Steins;Gate when K-On, Index, Strike Witches, Haganai, Hyouka, and OreImo are on it?

  This list should be deleted now. This is a prime example of just how bad these stupid lists can get.
