Nosebleed Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So lately I got somewhat into Puchimas both the anime and the manga and although I've seen a lot of chibified characters this series really made me appreciate the existence of chibis and how adorable they are. I even started prefering the chibi versions of some of the characters in the original Idolm@ster show. So here's a thread for people to post and appreciate the existence of chibis and their cuteness. And I also wanted to ask which do you find more appealing/cute, chibi characters or characters with normal body proportions? And also why if you'd like to explain. And have some Amami Haruka and Haruka-san as a gift Not going to put the option for both because that'd be too boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Normal body proportions make you get into a story easier. It's probably really hard to make a serious, good VN using only chibi characters- it only works in comedy. So, yeah. I prefer normal body proportions, nii-chan.

Nosebleed Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 This is why i tried putting it as "which do you find more appealing" rather than would you use chibis or normal character for something more serious like a vn/anime/whatever. Basically it's a question about physical appearance and not so much inner character in this case. But if i just said "which do you think is cuter" it wouldn't sound deep and meaningful.

DimDito Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I am generally immune to loli with the exception of Noumi Kudryavka. Anatomically proportional characters appeal more to me, they have a more natural beauty and a 'cute' that's not forced. Guess I'm a more down-to-earth person. They can still be moe no prob, if anything a bit sense of reality enhances that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I should just rename this to "Chibi appreaciation thread" and have people post chibis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I should just rename this to "Chibi appreaciation thread" and have people post chibis. Agree. Hmm... chibi vs not-chibi, a serious story can have chibi-like characters, there's Symphonic Rain, Dangan Ronpa (Not sure if this is actually serious or not), and a whole lot of eroge(The same could be said for this). But I still like not-chibi ones over chibi ones. The lack of moe can also be beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 About those who gave their opinions, should we give their money back? I kept the poll so their opinion still counts. I really was and still am interested in knowing how many people love chibis although perhaps comparing them to the normal characters would give predictable results.

Not really, I like chibi ones better when I'm in cuddly mode. Also my avatar used to be chibi-only before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I'm reading or watching Puchimas I want to cuddle every single one of them. I also usually enjoy a lot of anime spin-offs with chibified versions of the MCs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Even when comparing chibi to normal characters using just a single character, i still see normal body proportions to be superior. If it was just whether or not chibi are cuter or not I would probably agree but I find there to be so much more to appreciate about a character with normal body proportions.
