Japanese have been bemusedly confronted with the wonders of “anime eyes” makeup, supposedly “attracting much attention throughout America” and certainly attracting much attention in Japan (though perhaps not for the same reasons).

2ch is flabbergasted:
“No, not this!”
“The horror…”
“They are making fun of Japan…”
“They are quite nicely drawn.”
“… Not bad.”
“I laughed at the video.”
“Come on you Yanks, you need some makeup to disguise the nose as well.”
“The noses of foreigners don’t match anime, they are too damn huge!”
“This is actually more shoujo manga makeup than anime makeup?”
“This is nothing but gross and creepy.”
“I want to see that girl with the red bow without the makeup, I’m sure she’s really pretty!”
“We should make Shoko-tan do this.”
“I’d run if I saw someone like this in the street.”
“Some of them are actually really good.”
“Whenever Japanese stuff gets popular in the US, it only looks as though they are making fun of Japan.”
“Guys, your dreams have come true, haven’t they?”
“2D only!”
Checked article date… not april 1st, shiii.
These people should kill themselves, this is gross.
Most of these get the specular highlight wrong. The correct way is to have it be the same in both eyes, not mirrored one eye to the other.
Please also note seeing these things may cause you to want to go blind. You know how to do that.
Hilarious
a bit overboard with the kirakira, but it is more of a Manga appearance, then anime.
I bet there’s somebody out there fapping to this.
As the old saying goes… “It looks good on paper.”
