If I remember correctly, there was this pic here, but it was removed for being duplicated on Genki Girl. Now that Genki Girl has a new image, may I suggest that we put it back?

The current image isn't outright bad, but I think too much attention is being put on the girl herself, and not how the girl is interacting with the guy. Since this trope is about interactions between characters, I think it'd be best if showed that with the image.

Not a fan of Haruhi, and I adore Audrey Hepburn, but the previous image was definitely superior. You can barely see the guy or what he's feeling in the current, and the Haruhi one is pretty succinct.

Thirded. Go with Haruhi. The current looks more like he's afraid of her driving than anything else.

... yes, I know the context, but I'm trying to be objective here.

Haruhi's fine.

Have to say I prefer a color image over black & white. Another for the OP.

This one was changed by Eddie, so we probably need his opinion.

[up] I say we ignore Eddie on this one, since his only real objection is "I hate anime."

I like both the current and the suggestion. (The current could use some downsizing if it is kept, though.) The suggestion is nicer visually — better quality and with color. Supporting swap, though the preference isn't strong.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I feel both images illustrate it well.

[up][up][up] Really? That seems just like him and incredibly out of character at the same time.

I mean, it's one of those things that just make you laugh nervously and say "Oh Eddie, Eddie, where would we be without you," but it does kinda go against every rule of image pickin'. I know Eddie thinks there are too many anime images (probably true) but I didn't think he'd just zap an image just for being animu.

Unless someone finds a better image of Audrey, Haruhi will serve.

A few more votes and I think we can swap out.

Just leave it, okay? It isn't hurting anything and it is a relief from the constant barrage of comics/anime images.

Folks, Eddie's stance on anime pics irritates me at times too, but comments are getting a little snippy. Calm down, have some dip.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I'm serious, though. Change it of you feel you absolutely must, but pick something from other than anime or a comic for a change.

Here's an alternate version of the same scene...definitely makes his face more clear.
