The obsession with anime characters with astounding handsomeness and cuteness is not a new thing. Viewers tend to have one or more favourite characters in the anime that they’re watching. Sometimes because of the power possessed by the characters, and most of the time because the visual is fatal-like charm (added with badass attitude? Ummph!)
Below is an example of some famous characters due to their visual;
Jujutsu Kaisen – Goujo Satoru, Nanami Kento, Mei Mei, Sukuna
Tokyo Ghoul – Ken Kaneki
Attack on Titan – Levi Ackerman, Eren Jaeger
Bungou Stray Dogs – Osamu Dazai
Yamada-kun to Lvl999 – Yamada
Hori Miya – Miyamura Izumi
Fruits Basket – Kyo Sohma, Yuki Sohma, Hatsuharu Sohma, Akito Sohma
THE LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER but I’m not gonna list down every character. Of course, female characters are always cute and pretty almost in all anime.
So where does the theory that anime characters are based on cats surfaced? It all started from a viral video on TikTok by an account that goes by the username ‘asmongoldstories’. The video shows the TikToker reading a Reddit post from a Japanese regarding the theory. The post stated that the goal of manga anime was neither Japanese nor Caucasian, because if you pursue ‘cute’ it resembles a kitten. I will let the pictures below do the explanation.
Even though the theory is plausible, I wouldn’t say that it’s 100% true for all anime. While it may be applicable to some animation styles, some other animations have different styles of illustration. For example, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Paradise Kiss, Attack on Titan, Slam Dunk, and many more.
In conclusion, I think it is safe to say that the cat-like theory is only applicable to too-good-to-be true-anime characters. Apparently, there is no concrete evidence from the illustrators themselves regarding the illustration theory, but I am not disagreeing with the theory all the way, as it is obvious once it was pointed out.
Anyway, I am a cat person. Ergo, I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m just going to keep on shipping the characters that suit my taste, as you do with yours. Till then, MATA NEE~
