Here is an anime with at least some beards (though a lot more moustaches really). Some rather old Prussian styles as well.

What is it?: Glasses girl look better without glasses
Worst offenders: Yuki Nagato from Haruhi Notable exceptions: Saori Makishima from Ore Imouto (because her glasses is exaggerated ) Variants: Changing glasses to lens contact What makes it popular: Probably because glasses symbolize isolation and removing the glasses mean she will be more socialize than using glasses Reason that I hated it: 1...Which is like saying glasses girl cannot socialise at all. which is wrong! and it's stupid to show character development on character. 2.Glasses is symbol of identity. this will be a big problem if the anime/manga have "same face syndrome". it easy to differentiated glasses people face with "Random generic moe character". but without glasses. her face pretty much same with "Random generic moe character" 3. If the character look better without glasses. then why do you design it with glasses in first place! Does the hate really worth it?: not really. it mainly matter of taste (and I have glasses fetish). but still I don't like glasses girl that remove her glasses permanently. I have no problem if character remove the glasses for one episode or so. but dont remove it completely and make it as character key point

Who has facial hair. On another note, the "fangs" for a girl, when the girl has a personality I can deal with (here's to you, green-haired girl from Haruhi), are actually kind of sexy. Quote:
Here's something that has a great example in Fairy Tail, for those who have watched late into the series. Characters who go from woman to woman looking for attention, because they really really like women. Brock from Pokemon is a perfect example as well. Yes there's humor in it, but if those characters are reoccurring it gets old very quickly. It's easier to deal with when that obsession is also treated as a weakness for the character like it is in FTail, but as an element unrelated to the plot it just gets boring. Equally annoying is the flipside of this, where the female who is abandoned by these obsessive characters feel scorned and jealous of the interests of this character that they hated. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be jealous, I would expect some jealousy, but to basically become the character they hated because they were abandoned is just silly. For me, this quickly results in an eyeroll and a "here we go again with this crap." Edit: Quote:
I'm guessing this is about girls that take their glasses off and look better for them. I can say there's certainly a psychological effect associated with glasses, like any clothing. It's a cliche that at least has some fact associated with it. Although I still think that those girls look better with their glasses on, and I don't think that they should experience such drastic changes when they do. In Yuki's case there wasn't a whole lot there because regardless she's still robotic.

Meaning with or without facial hair. But if he has too much of it, he looks like a....lumberjack or something... Flynn from the movie Tangled had a little bit. And he is the hottest CGI character I've ever freaking seen....>////< Quote:

"Glasses girl look better than without glasses." Glasses girls look better than without glasses. That implies the opposite, beyond being a bit broken.
Well, I don't know if that's so much a cliche as a potential culture thing. I don't know how the Japanese perceive people with glasses, and what they associate with glasses people. Here in the U.S. people with glasses are often associated with intelligence and potentially nerdier things. This is starting to go away though as people with glasses are becoming increasingly common. So beyond that, as far as whether a girl is perceived as being more or less attractive with or without glasses that's more of personal feelings. Perhaps someone Japanese can tell us about how culture views glasses, eh? Quote:

What is it?: Dense Male Character
Worst Offenders: Harem Animes like of Infinite Stratos Notable Exceptions: Yuki of To Love Ru? Maybe not! What makes it popular: I don't know Reasons that I hate it: Dense, idiotic and dumb young teenagers must die for not recognizing girl's feelings. Is the hate really worth it?: Yeah. |

the glasses supposed to be a fetish so is really mater of taste. but I hate when they just remove it permanently just because someone say so. it supposed to be character trait. without it her trait is gone and it become harder to differentiate them from other "moe character"

The comedy "Loaded Weapon 1" did a parody of that cliche by having the main love interesting show up the first time with her hair up and glasses (played I think by Allyce Beasley) than later she take off her glasses and lets her hair down and she's played by Kathy Ireland for the rest of the film.

Sometimes, just because girls look at us funny doesn't mean they like us that way. And what should they do if they DO know the girls like them, they may not show it (of course, it's embarassing IRL, you know), but he doesn't like them back? Say to their faces, "Sorry I don't like you that way"? It's hard to do that IRL without offending or worse, scarring the girl for life. |

Ignore them is the best option (if you don't want to feel guilty at the tons of things you'll be owing them) unless they confess and then you have to tell them the truth. |

Other times, just because you don't seem to notice doesn't mean you're dense. You might not be so interested about romance. AT. ALL. That either you absolutely have no idea or you are not that interested in what girls do for guys they like. But I guess I may be THAT dense myself. Quote:
Those select few came to be known as the Yandere archetype. |

Because she's the most straightforward anime girl of them all! She LOVES you and ONLY you, and she makes damn sure you know it. In exchange, however, you are not allowed to cheat on her or else everyone around you, including yourself, will die.
I think she's supposed to be the perfect girl, but I'm really scared of that killing part so barring special circumstances I won't marry a Yandere. Here is a rather hilarious guide in handling a Yandere. |
