Western bodies in japanese anime - 07-07-2007, 04:51 PM

Hi. I was wondering if non-Japanese anime viewers feel that most female characters (especially girls) are characterised to have 'western' bodies? I mean, to me as a native Japanese, Bishoujo (cute girls) in anime, rarely look like 'Japanese' (with big eyes, big boobs, long legs, long nose, colored hair). But they are still recognised as the Japanese since they speak japanese and have mostly japanese names. If you agree, how do you feel about Japanese-created western bodies in anime? I'm particular interested in female viewers' perspectives about female characters. But male viewers are also welcome. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
