And it is true: "the anime girl seldom ever looks good after she cuts her long hair". That's why so many fans flip out when it happens; she looks like crap afterwards. >_> Quote:

I still think it's unfair stating that as a fact though. I could say "Naruto fans are all dribbling idiots who think all anime is shonen", but in actuality it's just personal preference. See, the fact will be that these statement won't be fact, but opinion. Ergo, it's fine if you don't think it looks good, but please don't assume everyone else in the world thinks the same way too. That's all I'm saying.

I really don't mind most hair styles / colors, as long as the character is fairly appealing to go with it...
Though personally I do like seeing shoulder length, or hime cuts. (for female characters) I don't really care too much for male characters and their colors/styles... Color-wise I'm honestly fairly biased to liking purple or silvered colored hair more than others. But I don't really have anything against other colors. Strangely I can't think of any characters styles or colors I do like atm. Well Mutta does have nice hair, on top of being an awesome guy.

I'm still curious as to if you can accurately speak for a fandom like that though, especially on a topic like this. Do that many people really hate it because it "looks bad", or could it be because they don't like the situation in which it happened? Maybe it's like Triple_R stated- it's not that it's bad after, it's that we're accustomed to an original look. I just don't think I'm crazy to like that newer look whilst everyone else hates it. It's always been a new dimension to a character for me and I love that. I seldom see it as worse or even bad for that matter. What I'd dislike about this is a completely pointless cut, like with Karen from Nisemonogatari (though that was more of a "tear"). It had no point and brought nothing to the character; it was just more like "everyone else is changing hairstyles, so throw it in". Quote:

With regard to short hair, I tend to like all kinds of tomboyish looks. Ritsu with her bangs down is a perfect example of cute but tomboyish look. All that messiness is just so sexy. I might be a reverse trap fan
More I think about it, I migh actually prefer short hair. Rikka Takanashi from Chuunibyou has the best from both worlds: short, messy hair AND a sidetail.

Short hair, by far, is my most favorite anime hair for the girls (and to an extent, irl as well). This made me remember a friend who disagrees with me when I said Princess Garnet became 1000x cuter after her haircut. I generally like everything else, but nothing makes me feel the same way like this haircut do.

Favorite hair, huh. That's such a hard question to answer, there's too many great choices out there. It's one of the defining features of the anime aesthetic, from the gravity-defining male spikes to the baroque intricacies of a long-haired female beauty. I love it all.
The short hair can be great depending on the character. Makoto from Idolmaster is a nice example of a girl who looks fantastic sporting that short hair, and no less feminine in my eyes. Someone like Kanon from Umi Monogatari, while having slightly longer hair, is another great example of a stunningly beautiful short-haired character. Long hair is great because there's so much you can do with it, visually speaking. Unrestrained by practicality, or even the laws of physics, anime often feels free to focus entirely on how pretty or cool something looks. Which is fine by me. I especially like the addition of bows and ribbons, both large and small. Flowers are nice too. That's one sure-fire way to glue my eyes to the screen. Very adorable. While I can't really pick a favorite per se, I really do adore the simple ponytail. It works for just about any character, and it's an easy way to charm me. I mean, even the name is cute.

I'm partial to long, straight, relatively naturally coloured hair in various styles. There are some very cute anime girls with short hair as well though. It really depends a lot on whether the hair fits the character and the show they're from. Mai Tokiha and Sheryl Nome are my favorite anime girls and neither of them has long, straight, naturally coloured hair. :lol:
All that being said, I do have to give special mention to the character of Sun Yun Mei (AKA "Yun Yun") from Canaan and her unusual hair style. Spoiler for Images:

Spoiler for Kiddy Girl -And:
They keep the tradition of cool hair-styles, I think. I don't even know what those heart-shaped things are, but I love them. Might be an example of over the top cuteness. Quote:

Mano Youko is the girl who originally had this style. Granted, she took it a step further and braided the loops. I'm not sure if this is even possible to do in real life! Spoiler for Images:
........ah the 90s~
