There are a few generalizations to be made about anime. The characters' faces often have the preposterously chiseled look of Western superheroes, as defined by U.S. pulp illustrators.

...Americans are overweight because we eat too much and don't exercise enough, plain and simple! The portions are huge, and we won't settle for less. We want bagels and muffins the size of Rhode Island. We megasize and supersize our already calorie-laden fast-food meals.
