Back in April, Eddie changed the old pic on Shrinking Violet, which was decided on here, to the current of Violet from The Incredibles, without even removing the IP tag. While Violet is a good example, and the punny nature is clever, I think the old pic is a better overall illustration of this trope. My vote is to swap the pics (the page wasn't tagged as an admin keep), and possibly change the pic of Violet in the collage on Peek A Bangs to this one. Thoughts?

<Sigh> Edit reasons...

That said, after re-reading the description I think both images are good enough there.

I prefer the old pic. I don't get much out of the current.

Change it back. The new pic is borderline JAFAAC since Violet looks more gloomy/emo than shy in that pic. And I think the Violet image in the Peek A Bang collage is fine, so I don't see any reason to change it.

I think the old image of the girl around the corner works best.

Going to revive this,for the purpose of deciding what we should do next.

Could I get some more feedback on my suggestion? (just to make sure there's some consensus)

Putting the respective images on the sub pages would be fine. Something less JAFAAC for western animation would be better but that's not a big deal.

[up]Maybe switch the Violet pic with the one in Peek A Bangs? Her pose looks more illustrative for this trope.

Um... is MSDOS girl anime? I mean, it's anime style but as far as I know the OS-Tans aren't an anime.

Since it's not really anything, I think leaving her on the main page and moving Violet to Western Animation makes the most sense. Especially since MSDOS is a much better illustration.

DOS girl would be under fan works.

A good anime image seems to be slipping my grasp right now.

I am inclined to agree with moving the old image to the Anime & Manga subpage, given the artstyle.

But... it's not from an Anime. It's Animesque, but if we lumped everything that looked like Anime under anime... well, Animesque wouldn't exist.

Incidentally, the first image in the Anime subpage is an excellent image, I think. Or maybe Nanako, before she warmed up to the main character.

^ For the purposes of the page images I am not convinced that matters.

For medium specific subpages I would say it does matter unless we really can not find better. Fan art of an A&M series is one thing but this isn't one at all.

no idea where it is from but I love this one gotta use it somewhere.

The anime and manga page should have something that's actually Japanese animation. 17 and 19 are both good.

I don't think 19 comes from an actual work, but I suppose it's good.

Switching my support to 19 for the Anime & Manga subpage, there.

My votes:

  • Move Current to Western Animation
  • Move the old image to Web Original (as that's what OS-tan is under)
  • Put 17.1 on Anime/Manga
  • Put 19 on the main page (since it's not from an actual anime or manga that we know of)

I'm not 100% keen on 17.1...to be honest, I'd prefer 19 on the anime/manga subpage. However, I'm definitely not down with having a pic on the main page that duplicates one of the media subpages.
