Anime fans take a break from onanising over the latest moeblobs to collect some of the latest (or simply most shocking) examples of what happens when animators are paid $3 an hour and have half their jobs outsourced to Korea.
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.
Manga fans supply a ranking of which mangaka they always assumed were male, whether based on name, art style or story, only to be surprised to find they were female.
Manga fans supply a ranking of the lady mangaka they esteem as drawing the best looking male characters, a quite respectable ranking at that.
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:
A newspaper is recruiting writers by asking whether they can give three reasons as to why the above character isn’t moe.

I gave it a shot. With Hatsune Miku box cover art as the model (pen+eraser only, watching at the screen). Took me a bit more than 4 hours (was changing everything all the time. Always... More
Herp a derp, says the retard who surely can't even draw. Go fuck off and pretend to know what you're talking about elsewhere.... More
Artist and illustrator Nanakusa’s luscious artwork provides a happy balance between moe and sexiness:
Continuing from the previous article, here are even more mangaka who might never be guessed to be women.
Those who think to judge the gender of a mangaka by the content or art style of a given manga may be shocked to encounter some of the surprisingly female mangaka listed below.
Japanese asked to rank the male mangaka they consider the most skilled at drawing eye-wateringly cute girls share a list encompassing some of the masters of bishoujo art, as well as a few whose presence on the list is frankly something of a mystery.
As previously established, Japan can make anything moe – the latest unlikely subject to receive this treatment is none other than China’s slave-state vassal, North Korea.
