  • Conditional support, looks like a good depiction of an anime character, made far better by the fact it is SVG, but I would like to hear the opinions of someone who is a little more familiar with anime than me as to how well it actually does depict an anime character. J Milburn (talk) 12:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As someone who's watched a fair bit of anime I can say with some confidence gradually fading confidence that the image is a good representation of an archetypal female "amine-style" character and I wouldn't be suprised to see a character matching the image in any number of anime series.

  • Support Not that I'm an anime expert (far from it), but this definitely is a good representation of the style. Well done. faithless (speak) 19:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Sure. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 20:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The tree and window in the background look like clip-art. Also I don't like the pattern on her coat, and suspect that it's so overly geometric because it's unnecessarily SVG. There's a lot of very high quality anime drawings out there, and this one's freeness and SVGness doesn't give it a free pass. :D\=< (talk) 04:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great Picture. Something new for Wikipedia's featured pictures. Rj1020 (talk) 05:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I must disagree with the nominator -- A free, user-created typical anime character is NOT hard to find. Nothing special about this one. Nicely polished up though. 99boy (talk) 05:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nominator's reason for nominating this seems a bit poor, as many others have said there are many free anime illustrations out there. However, just because the image is not unique in that respect doesn't mean it isn't a very good representative image. § I'm unsure of what Froth means by the geometric pattern on her coat; it looks as though it's solid red with folds/ripples in it. (My) firefox's SVG renderer butchers the image but it looks nice in Inkscape or with WP's renderer. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 19:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The eyebrows are shown on top of the hair. Is this normal for Anime? Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 00:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it varies, often the hair over the face/eyebrows is translucent so that the detail beneith can be seen. I have just noticed the way the hair cuts off above the right eye - I'm pretty sure that's not normal, although my knowledge is far from comprehensive. Guest9999 (talk) 00:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen it fairly often. It depends on whether they draw the eyes on top last I guess. :D\=< (talk) 04:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Oh, so much better than poor old wikipe-tan. It looks pretty skillfully done, the only thing that detracts is that the blur filters don't render properly for me in full-size. Also, the eyes don't seem to have the white highlights in the thumbnail size. I don't know much about this style of art, but it looks like a good example to me. I might support if rendering problems were fixed. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
