Why this piece is awesome: I like anime, but tend to think of it as a world unto itself. It has its own set of physical laws visible in the differences between how things move and how people look in the anime world versus the real world. Because of the seeming separateness of these two worlds, I never tried to imagine the way that anime characters would look in real life… until I saw this manip. At the time, I did not know who Jonathan Rhys Meyers was. Looking at this photo was simply seeing Farfarello’s pretty, scarred face staring out at me from the darkness. I should probably say something intelligent about the use of light and shadow here, but really, just look at the picture. You won’t regret it. (Icon is the anime Farfarello, for reference and prettiness.)

Interesting reversal!

It occurred to me that many people would know the actor rather than character, but I think the artwork is still worth admiring. ;)

Just like you I never try to imagine anime characters in real life but this is so cool!

I kind of like anime characters existing in their own kind of world.

I'm glad you like it too. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
