Magical puella fans are lamenting the fact that Ume Aoki’s distinctive character designs are looking all but impossible to render into figures effectively – the first such figure to arrive, a bikini-clad Madoka, is looking distinctly awkward.
The artists of 2ch have risen to the challenge of illustrating their version of some of the most common anime character types, 12 in all, each providing a unique style of art and interpretation of the character template.
Fans of hackneyed bishoujo character designs have been pondering the crucial issue of which character has the best blonde corkscrew/roll/drill hair.
Readers of suspected nopan mahjong manga Saki are lately marvelling at the manga’s profound transformation into a loliblob manga of epic proportions…
There's simple stylistic changes as a creator gets more experience, and then there's pandering to the lowest common denominator for a hopeful increase in sales. And I'm fully betting the editor had two hands in this... More
That pretty much defeats the point of loli. ;)... More
Manga fans supply a ranking of the lady mangaka they esteem as drawing the best looking male characters, a quite respectable ranking at that.
Bayonetta developers Platinum Games and Sega have unveiled a rather striking character design for the heroine of “Max Anarchy” – behold Mathilda:
Not protagonist. Max anarchy is a multiplayer brawler with a myriad of characters including Jack from Mad World. Yet to see Bayonetta make an appearance but fingers are crossed... More
Is that a dildo she's swinging around...? Also, nothing beats pointy nipples, period.... More

Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans have been rather shocked to see the changes wrought on a particular decapitation scene between anime and manga edition.
The scene itself may constitute something of an early-story spoiler.
Mahou shoujo fans are for some reason still fascinated by the similarities between Madoka and other magical girl anime titles.
The “sexy” character design of PS3 superpower action game Infamous 2 has lately been attracting attention for embodying certain extremes in US gaming tastes…
I don't see what the problem is. So what if she isn't a stereotypically attractive character? She's a lot more interesting to look at than the vast majority of female game characters, Western or otherwise.... More
how could you...shes your father!!... More
The Kobe Shimbun’s introduction of the decidedly malformed character moe enthusiasts soon dubbed “Ima-ichi Moenai Musume” (“lacking-in-moe-girl”), or Imaichi-san for short, has proven something of a hit, with her very failure to be moe in itself paradoxically becoming a source of extreme moe.
Naturally many artists have been compelled to explore ways of depicting her moe characteristics more obviously, with some extreme success evident in the below illustrations:
