Chichiri's Girl Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Um there are plenty of anime girls with wavy/curly/ well there really aren't many with fizz....but anyway there are lots of curly-haired girls. Lets see...Sailor Neptune from SM, Mimi from Saint Tail more or less, her poney tail curls at the end...., Kotori from X, Fuu from MKR, Nuriko from FY(okay so * technically [spoiler]he isn't a women but when he lets his hair down it's curly[/spoiler]. I guess Hikaru is the same way...the hair that is. But on those standards so are Sailor Moon and Mini Moon and well I could go on foever so I'll shut up) , Chidori from Ceres, and well i could go on but then I'd be here forever....but the reason that there aren't as many curly-haired girls as stright-haired is because in Japan they normally have stright hair so that would be the norm. Yep well muy rambling is done so you can relax now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortySilly16 Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 thats true... oh well..but its not very curly..I mean throughout the hair.I wish people in Japan would get more perms.that'd be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Ew, no. Asian women generally look terrible with perms (I'm speaking from experience; my poor dear mother once got one). To tell you the truth, most anime characters don't appear to be even [i]slightly[/i] Asian. And I can name plenty of anime females who don't have pin-straight hair. Don't fret about it; few character designs are intended to appear even mildly realistic. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahoots34 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Like any sort of artistic display, anime is often focused on experimenting with various gradients of reality. Straighter hair would probably be seen as more traditional or realistic, whereas more outlandish coiffures might give a sense of mystery and exoticism that might somehow detract from the series' style or overall popularity. Personaly, though, I'd sooner look twice at what surprises me than what I see on a regular basis, and I think that's becoming more and more of the general feeling throughout the media. I'd like to see some more characters who can flaunt their curls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othak Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Anime hair looks cool. and its cool how they put it up or things. yea.....they look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellester41 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I think that the reason they have straight hair is that it is easier to draw, with all the highlights and whatnot. It would be more difficult(I would think) to do curly hair. There are more details in curly hair than in straight hair. Could that be it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccansamurai Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 And plus, putting up curly hair must be a pain, and I rarely draw anyone with hair that's down unless I want to make them look plain or they actually do have curly hair. Curly hair is hard to draw, and less fun with cool details like highlights, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 [i][color=lightpink]Ohhohh!!! *raises her hand* I know an anime girl who has HUGE curls!! Mnax from Weiss Kreuz. man does she have huge ones i tellyou and YES i am talking about her curls. Silly perverts ^^. And Yohji Kudou from Weiss Kreuz has wavy hair...but he's a guy. And IRL i have natural curly/wavy hair. And it sucks so much. I envy all straight haired people. NEVER GET A PERM![/color][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowfire Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Well in a full on series complex styled hair would be a pain to do. Thats why you mainly see wavy, curly hair in OAV's or movies or on short lived characters, or on characters that only appear ever so often and if it is in an extended series it's probably not of good quality done hair. A lot of characters have wavy and curly hair, but most of the ones that do are the ones that present an extreme sex appeal. They want them to have an exotic style look. With straight it gives them an appearence of an everyday girl, a non conceded (?) character. A character thats not all about looks. But it's mainly the rreason cause it's alot easier to draw straight hair, believe me I know. (P.S.) In DBZ once Bulma had a blue puffy afro.

Moor_Child Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I don't know if someone has said this already but what's her name from Tenchi had really curly blonde hair... Has anyone ever noticed how they all have bangs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]That would be Mihoshi. And there's really nothing wrong with them all having bangs. Heck, I used to have bangs. I think that anime bangs are precious. And they're much easier to draw than those who lack. ^_^[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortySilly16 Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 Ya And alot of anime characters have different colored hair too, like Jessy and James on Poke'mon and other anime characters, I'm not shore but I think it's for remembering who they are. And I now realize the curlly hair thing..ThAnK YoU!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 [COLOR=purple][SIZE=1] Well if everyone really looks at all the differences between anime women and they hair..as well as the men.... they hair kinda shows their personality as well as helps you tell the difference between so many characters out there. As well as the clors, they help out to. I'm serious would you really be able to tell the difference between characters if they looked as Native women(and that goes for eveyr society) I mean if all Asians, Blacks, Whites, Indians, etc, had the same hair style amoung them would you really be able to say "oh that's (whoever) and thats (whatyoucallit)... Cause I know I can't plus thats how women are. they change their hair or looks to be different at times... and in anime I thin its a life saver. But no matter I do love the differnt styles of hair out there..and I have seen plenty!!!![/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest application Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 hair is what set out a persons personallity, you can always tell what someone is going to be like by their hair, the same is true for anime. Take vash for example, if his hair is down you can see a different side of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilishAngel Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 you know....i read somewhere that anime has really wavy hair or spiky hair or just whatever type of hair cause they wanted to make it as real as possible....talk about cool.... i have nothing against it...just wish i could draw as well as them... :( :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pie Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 [COLOR=coral][B]Yeah! Anime hair looks very cool. I fancy wavy hair. I don't know why. FOR CHICHIRI'S GIRL: NURIKO IS NOT A GIRL ^_^ ITS a HE(MALE).[/COLOR][/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminous Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 [COLOR=silver]I LOVE anime hair! You can take it to so many extremes. Most of the people I draw though have either really long straight but kinda wavy hair of long pigtail braid thingers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=silver]My people generally have long bangs like mine, pushed to the sides of their face or hanging in front of their eyes. I mostly only draw bangs, large on girls with braids or ponytails and sometimes small on guys but most often long messy spikey kindof wind blown looking. I hope that wasn't too confusing.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
