it is, you just have to -see- it.

Anyway there wasn't enough room for a plastic doll choice so just pick anything you want and then go into the thread and say "I wanna be a sweet action figure" or something and bam, there you go.

Action figures are dolls.

Someone needed to break it to you and it might as well be me.

I remember watching it way back when with my old anime club. I think we watched the first two seasons. I remember enjoying it.

:pinkieshrug: I couldn't tell you a single thing about it, other than it's doll highlander, and the green one said "desu" all the time.

I'd say the difference is semantic but apparently it's actually a big deal to toymakers whether their products are "toys" or "dolls" (for tax purposes, etc.). I remember this being noted back when EqG first came on the scene.

Yeah, basically this. It's the same reason Bella has no personality in the Twilight books; so that it's easier for the viewer/reader to project themselves into the narrative and pretend it's them who's being fawned over by the various love interests instead of Milquetoast McBland.

That's dumb and bad, imo. If you wanna have the reader project themselves onto it then make a silent protagonist or something. :-I

That only works in media where that's readily appropriate, like a more expressive cartoon or a videogame where you can speak through actions rather than words; but for the stiff, cookie cutter experience of the majority of harem anime you need a Generic McNerdypants who has just enough personality to be readily projectable

It's the Barnum Statement of nerd fantasies, basically

Some thread titles you can just take one glance at and know exactly who was responsible for them.

This is one of those cases. :-P
