? Anime has always overwhelmingly been aimed at young people from its inception, the only time that wasn't the case was the 90's ova boom in the West when importers decided not to bring in all the family friendly shows being made in Japan in favour of edgy sex and violence stuff, and that ended with the Japanese financial crisis and pokemon
Adults who like anime are overgrown man-children. Yes, I am talking about myself :cri:
I get why shonen is so popular, but I couldn't see myself primarily consuming media that's exclusively children protagonists. Not only would it get old really quickly, I've watched enough shonen w/ friends that the tropes are just so stale
I'm in some anime discussion and one thing I love doing is flipping the script on any CHUDs: that THEY are what's wrong with the anime community, not the left. They have been responsible for gentrifying anime to be more western-friendly. In the 2000s, they would have loved the Americanization that 4kidz did and now anime has all the pedo shit westoid fascists love.
Don't get me wrong, I know anime and it's imperfections are more complicated than this, but there is some catharsis in denying the right to be the standing authority on something.
Babies have pronounced facial lines and round faces more in lines with a hybrid of the 80s and 10s styles. The 20s style here isn't infantile, it's a set of hair and eyes with the remnants of a face fading into the spectral.
The disappearance of the nose and the gradual smoothing of the cheek-bones are a bit neotenous, but I definitely wouldn't describe any of the faces as infantile.
Yes 80's anime put a lot of effort into making women look mature. You can see the shift towards gross underage lolicon shit happening in the 2000's,

Most anime is about teenagers to young adults tho

Simple economics sadly.

This implies that they only want to see underage girls in anime...

the 20s one isn't even "underage lolicon" anymore, that's a straight up baby.
It's so gross, I HATE OTAKUS.
