Honestly, I don't really think that raw emotion is something that requires a "clean and proper" representation......
'Revolted' is too harsh of a word, but I'm no fan of the overly cartoony expression of emotion with the popping eyes and so on. Yes, I know that it's a manga we're talking about, and I know that Oda's drawing in general is far from realistic, but there's a limit to what I can enjoy. I just can't laugh at panels like those. At best they make me turn the page extra quickly without cringing. Don't take this the wrong way, though, I'm not angry about it or anything, and I don't even feel particularly strong about this. I'm just explaining my position since some people seem to be in disbelief of what I'm saying, lol. Oh, yes, the Perona one is fine. But you should address GreyZone with that, not me. He's the one whose theory and reasoning are ruined by it.^^
