Let's Build an Anime Girl in Real Life 

2:35 Huge eyes Disproportionate head No nose Has to wear goggles Brain pushed back (elongated skull) Exaggerated emotions Really missed the chance to make a minion joke

Anime girls have so called "Schrödinger's nose". It only exists when you look at them from the side.

I have an anecdote about this. I've spent the last year or so in a chat room dedicated to a pretty niche hobby (computer science related). The room has around two million messages, so I downloaded all of them and used them to create a sort of chat bot. It wasn't anything complicated, it just took pre-existing messages and showed you a random reply to the closest message in the room to what you typed in. It was kind of fun to play around with, but since it only used exact pre-existing messages it would give you nonsense replies pretty often. But, if you stuck with it for a little while, you'd sometimes end up in a little "conversation" where the replies just happened to actually make sense with what you said, and the context leading up to it. Even with full knowledge of how it worked, and having just spend ten or twenty minutes in a totally senseless and directionless conversation, when those occasional realistic discussions occured (usually under a dozen messages long), they felt way more real than they should have. I found myself genuinely thanking "people" who replied to my questions with useful answers, or being a little angry when someone said something which, devoid of the context it was said in, came across as rude or sarcastic. Now, in the time since I had first interacted with the room, which was part of a much larger site, and when I became most active, quite a few of the site's (and chat room's) main users had left. One of these had taught me a significant amount about one of the topics the room discussed. I'd had no contact with him in years, during which time I'd realized how helpful he'd actually been. Well, I tried saying hi to him, and since there aren't many other things you generally reply to that with, the program responded to me with an instance of him saying hi (to someone else, many years ago). I was, as if it had really been the real person, excited and happy. It took me a second to realize what had happened, to take some time and remind myself it wasn't real. In a situation where a computer can simulate not only talking with real people, but seeing them and holding long, realistic conversations, I don't think our brains would have any chance. It's easy to feel bad about killing a cat in Minecraft, so a fully realistic simulation of a discussion with another human being would surely be able to have a large impact on them. If someone can be simulated who is constantly compassionate and empathetic to you, who has zero ulterior motive and exists only to listen to you and discuss what you want to talk about, I could see even the most distant or technology-wary of people becoming closely attached to the simulated person.

This went from "Let's build an anime girl irl" to "The End of Evangelion" really quick

10% Anime Girls 90% Existentialism

The beginning of the video: "Let's build an anime girl" The rest of the video: "W E L I V E I N A S O C I E T Y"

Jumping off the section on "Post-Avatar Depression," I think the most depressing idea that I've taken away from this is that so many people believe that planet earth is a dull, boring place. I've climbed snowy mountains above the clouds, slept under glittering desert night skies, witnessed dazzling sunrises in the middle of nowhere and walked through a rainforest, marveling at the teeming life that resides there. The world is beautiful, and it will be destroyed by human activity before most people even realize that it exists. We don't need a Pandora, we have one right here, but I understand how that might be hard to fathom when you spend your whole life mired in a suburban hellscape.

3:50 I could easily be wrong here, but I don't think most of these guys actually want to date actual anime girls. They struggle finding love in the real world and don't want to have to risk being vulnerable, so they create fantasy girls in their heads who will always love them and are perfect in every way.

After his rant about attraction and avatar, when he said “anime girls” I suddenly remembered I was watching how to genetically engineer a fictional cartoon.....

Let's be honest here, over 90% of anime girls would look like unholy Lovecraftien abominations in real life

I think VRchat is a good example as having fiction and reality together. You have real people in VRchat interacting with each other while using fictional characters or objects as themselves. You won't have to go through weird and stressful social interactions like real life. It's easier to understand others I in VRchat cause they have to rely more on how they speak and become more punctual

This video reminds me of Pygmalion from Greek mythology. He was a sculptor who detested real woman, so he made a statue of the perfect woman and married it.

Came for anime girl, left with existential dread

"Now add a spoonful of exaggerated emotional outbursts..." A spoonful, he said. You know what happens next.

The "wanting to commit suicide to come back as a Navii" thing was legitimate. I had a girlfriend who was depressed and suicidal a lot. Avatar became one of her escapes in her mind, but then turned into a "If I kill myself, I can come back as a Navii." I had to talk her down from that a few times. High School was rough.

Cartoons are more honest than people in the real world. Welp that explains why I keep asking myself "Why is this world so much better/simpler than mine?" every time I watch something like that

I was expecting to laugh at some ridiculous anime proportions, not have existential dread.

This guy is like Vsauce’s younger brother who stayed up all night playing league of legends instead of passing physics

Ngl it’s kinda scary cause I know that I wouldn’t mind living in a near perfect world with an anime waifu completely controlled by an ai.

"The Matrix" is basically the "1984" of modern dystopia fiction; oppressive AI causing us to be born into a simulated world of virtual gaslighting. Some characters try to fight it, but others feel completely helpless and would be more content to just not know. Cypher experienced depression at the idea of an unwinnable conflict and the impoverished suffering of the real world, much like how oppressive the world of "1984" feels to people who are aware that the world is somehow "wrong", but they are powerless to oppose it due to the absolute surveillance. Meanwhile, the people who completely go along with things are blissfully ignorant; content to live their lives as virtual automatons under the influence and ever-present observation of Big Brother. But I've always felt that "1984" was an unrealistic representation of how a controlling dystopia would come about. A far more believable, realistically possible outlook, is "Brave New World". In BNW, people aren't oppressed or coerced to the ways of that society... they desire it and would choose it over the alternative. People are constantly drugged into a state of euphoria as well as being kept perpetually "young and beautiful" right up to when they drop dead, even though these drugs shorten their lifespan. They would much rather live short lives of beauty, sexual liberation, bliss, and worrylessness. They taught their children not just to accept and embrace death, but to celebrate it as a perfect end to a perfect existence. And even for those who actively rejected such a society, they weren't even forced to stay and participate. There were other places provided where they could live happy, but undrugged, lives in what was basically a Caribbean resort, experience the life-defining struggle (to them, anyway) of a survival life, or just go live in the unincorporated population which didn't have advanced technology, but also lacked the "perfect life" philosophy of the society. No one was forced into it... they trapped themselves, willingly and by choice. Imagine if you could be hooked up to The Matrix not by force, but by choice. You'd be set up with IV nutrients (probably not recycled people, but next best thing; recycled waste), you'd have constant, automatic medical monitoring, and all stimulus would not only be fed directly to your brain in a hyper-realistic manner, but you also had _control_ over your simulation. You could go to a group chat with others like you, or live in a private, Minecraft-esque virtual world, interact with virtual personalities completely at your own discretion, and just have generally complete VR freedom, completely dissociated from your physical body which is basically kept in storage until it stops working. Or, go one step beyond and upload your consciousness into the system, completely leaving your body behind and existing as data, itself. And none of the plot-necessary issues that The Matrix had to fabricate like "people naturally reject a perfect world in favor of a life of suffering". There are absolutely, 100%, people who do not fundamentally base their existence and humanity on suffering and would be _thrilled_ at the prospect of living an unfettered virtual life at the expense of physical existence.

I came for the shits and giggles, and left being called a furry and having an existential crisis

This went from "haha funny anime girl" to "What if art gets so good it overwhelms reality itself, thus bringing more and more people to these digital worlds to escape the harsh reality of being human?"

I’m just imaging people 100 years from now watching this being like “hey what he talking about I thought the world was always anime”

I feel how it is to turn to cartoons for escapism, or just for satisfying one’s emotional depravity. It’s almost painful to see something you resonate with so much and it’S practically almost intangible For me, that was How To Train Your Dragon and The Dragon Prince Seeing Hiccup and Rayla and their inspiring personalities really made me wanna be with them. Even if for a bit I like people in many cartoons but these two, they were something special

This is VSauce's cousin. This man can turn building anime girls into global self invasion of technology.

I still can’t believe that the attraction to cartoons is called shit-eye-philia

I think that it's still quite complicated to make anime girls/boys real, yet I'm surprised some informations still got ignored: + Some animals don't necessarily breathe through their noses, like fish who breathe with their gills or frogs through their skin. Heck, some living beings don't even breathe. It could eventually be possible to find a way to improve the respiratory device of a prototype, either by completely changing it or by "just" fusing it with another one; + Either we can just skip the mouth part and make the prototype's mouth like ours, either slight improvements can be done so it looks simpler or such. An idea I'd however be skeptical about is finding a way for the mouth to have some extra motion freedom- so it could go sideways in case this is much of a requirement. I have difficulties seeing that one working; + As for the prototype's eyes, I get that size has an impact on the eye's mobility. Though, instead or putting large eyes on the prototype, what if they rather had a casual size with sort of natural "lens" to make the eyes look wider? Said "lens" could even be designed so light is properly redirected towards the eyes, without any sight issues; - There may be other things to take in account while "building" an anime girl/boy, like muscles and general body resistance if we aim for something as close to perfection as possible. (and yeah I did skip the cartoon part)

"cartoons are just more honest" god damnit you hit the jackpot I am personally obsessed with honesty, and I require it when I am around people. Anime/ cartoons are ideal for me. They act more like people than people do, which is a really shitty outlook on people in real life. They are more honest, real people than the fucking masks and social nightmares we call people in real life. They act how they feel. They voice their opinions. They are willing to be honest. You just don't find that in real life. Not anymore. Anybody I talk to in real life I hold to those standards. Act like a fucking human with emotions and expression or get lost. I'm also not some shut-in weeb. I am rather popular at school, and am rather easy to talk to. “Everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.”- Nick Caraway

Last year I was wearing a shirt that said, “I can’t detect sarcasm”. I thought it was hilarious. A guy came up to me and said “Nice shirt” Of course I thanked him. “No I was being sarcastic” And that is when I fully understood human interaction.

Therapist: Anime girl with monkey eyes don't exist, it can't hurt you Anime girl with monkey eyes:

“Huh? What was this video again? Making anime girls in real life? Oh I thought this was a video essay on technology progression.”

As much as I love technology, sometimes it truly does feel that it's improving way too quickly. We have a lot more new tech than we know how to properly deal with or regulate.

How to build an anime girl. Proceeds to start teaching history, psychology, philosophy, futurology, technology. It all boils down to Ai .

Beginning of video: heres what an anime girl would look like if they existed in real life. Pretty weird huh? Ending of video: *the human race will be defeated by its own lust for escapism*

This is an absolute masterclass on video making. Eye catching title, theme switching so you remain engaged and overal interesing talk. 10/10 video would watch again

I feel like if technology gets to a point where plugging yourself into a digital world is near identical to the real world, governments would treat it on the same level as crack or heroin and criminalize its usage.

I came for the anime girls. Left with an existential crisis.

I wasn't expecting to learn that the movie Avatar almost created a suicide cult from a video about anime girls, but I guess RU-vid is just a special place.

man, i don’t even want something like a neko girl anymore. i just wanna be able to kamehameha the shit outta everything i see

I just like that you proved that weebs and furries have more in common than they think. I've been saying that for so long!

In a nutshell: AI will destroy humanity with Anime catgirls

The fact he's only half joking is concerning in every way

This had been done by Square Enix when they 3D-fied the “anime” aesthetics, since FF8. They basically got it right in FF10. They weren’t the first, but certainly most successful.

I love how the video switches topic halfway through

The 5 phases of Solar Sands: Introduction to topic, Discuss topic, Proceed to hint at a more complex topic, Jump into a deep conversation about said complex topic thus giving everyone an existential crisis, Then go back to comedy.

"Lemme show you irl anime girl. Weird am i rite? Anyways we got 12 min of video left, lets talk about the fundamental concept of human escapism"

"But the funny thing is..they wouldn't even have to put up a fight" We would just simply lull ourselves willingly into that long sleep.

Edit : I'm older now, and much healthier. Let this be a warning to never fall into emotional pits, it can be very damaging. Anyway, silly video lmao.

This went from let's genetically make an anime girl to human society and existentialism

my favourite line ever: "furries weren't producing rerabytes of fanart and overwhelming theaters and droves for cats they were doing it for zootopia"

this went from funi guy builds an anime girl to a deep thought of how technology is becoming so advanced people can essentially have a second life real quick

The book 'better than life' by grant Naylor uses the same concept of a device that give you total immersion and makes all your deepest desires come true trapping you in the game of sorts.

“Exaggerated emotional outbursts and ridiculous hair” is the perfect way to describe an anime girl

Imagine being created, not because they think you’re an interesting specimen, but because the filthy discord weeb reddit mods want to actually have a girlfriend

Love your channel my dude, both as an artist and as a human. Intriguing and thought provoking just how I like it!!

The discussion of turning anime catgirls into IRL slowly spirals into an existential crisis about virtual world. And I *LOVE IT*.

Imagine if our shitty world is just an idealized fantasy simulation for an even shittier world.

The fact that it says E=UwU² just makes me want to die

I was going to write an essay about this, but honestly there is nothing to talk about, he talked about everything correctly, sure I have some opinions but this is probably the best video to express most.

Instant hit of nostalgia when I realized the Ratchet & Clank soundtrack playing in the background. Thank you :)

Solar Sands is the type of guy that can make a PowerPoint presentation interesting

This went from “Let’s make some cat girls” to *”E v e r y t h i n g w i l l s o o n e n d”*

To be fair: A advanced civilization one day chosing a perfect simulation of pure happiness over reality is a viable solution to the Fermi paradox

imagine an actual anime girl walking up to an old person's home and the old person goes "what in the fuck is you"

Can't believe that weebs are just flesh furries.

Hello everyone, this is y o u r daily dose of *depression.*

10:33 *_The most accurate sentence humanity could ever invent._*

wow, this is really deep, What really really hits is that he is right, This reality is happening quickly and is already becoming existent. Not sure how realistic some form of Nerve gear would be but I feel like it probably is very possible. Maybe nit in my lifetime but still possible. I don't like admitting it but if there really was world created that felt like real life except is idealistic I would not only find myself trapped in it I would very willingly allow myself TO be trapped in it. I am already at that point where everything around me bores me and I often fantasize being born in something like the Pokémon world. I would turn ten and venture out making friends with Pokémon and battling or any experience similar to that. And that is a very scary thought. The fact that I and and very large amount of people want and long for some sort of fictional reality to live in forever if they had the chance.

"Without a nose, they can only breath through their mouths." But of course. This is why they almost always have their mouths wide open.

I've actually been working a bit with ai using ai dungeon and i have to say that we have a long way to go, because sometimes when you give it a direct command it will just completely ignore it like, *: I slice the orc's head off with my fire blade. ai: you kill the orc. your family has been avenged. *: i grab the scroll he's carrying off of his dead body and open it. ai: the orc runs over to you screaming and kills you. *: I decapitated him? how is he alive? ai: the orc has avenged you *: ????????????????????????? ai: the orc has avenged you *: WHAT DO YOU- ai: THE ORC HAS AVENGED YOU you are DEAD *: ... ai: try again?

I Think Solar Sands Just Predicted Metaverse

I like how he's using the word "cartoon" instead of "anime" deliberately. I don't really mind that at all. But I think he did the right choice. (it would've been annoying if he had to use different word every time he showed a different picture).

You know there are already a ton of interactive story models and right now, the models generating images from text inputs are getting better and better. I believe in a few years if not months, we will be able to trully go inside digital worlds.

I am currently a happily married man, and my wife is the most amazing person in my life. However, she has certain health problems that make me think that it's likely I'll outlive her. If that happens, I don't think any woman will ever measure up. With that in mind, I actually take some comfort in the idea that when that day comes I'll be able to slip away into a virtual world and spend my remaining days there.

This is the future of humanity. If we can't can't live in reality, we'll die in our dreams.

The mental state of wishing the fantasie to be real and the "depression" at it not beeing so might seem more common nowdays, but it is fairly old and already occured thousands of years ago. Just look for example at the story of Galatea. A greek myth where an artist is so dissatisfied with the realness of actual women, he asks the goddess Aphrodite to give life to his perfect sculpture.

this video is way beyond what I expected, what I expected was at most something like a sculpture, +1 subscribed

This video slapped like will smith Im really young and i haven't left my country, but i have seen so much diversity and beauty with the natural world and i don't just mean expensive trips to the bahamas or Hawaii. Just in my state, i was walking my dogs with my mom on the beach and there was a huge lightning storm really far out and it was so beautiful it made stop sit down in the sand and appreciate the world we live in. later that week i saw a sea turtle digging a nest in the sand. I have a deep love for sea turtles, so seeing one nest on the beach was so amazing I cant even put it into words. There are so many things we take for granted from earth and the course of events that set us to be where we are right now is unfathomable.

I know many people made joke about this but I'm actually impressed how you went from talking about anime girls to all the world problems without making us lose interest

Hot take, but everyone that finds cartoons attractive is also everyone that feels attraction. If you commissioned a masterfully realistic painting of someone you find attractive, you wouldn't feel weird about calling the painting hot, and if you slowly stylize that painting more and more, eventually you will reach a point where you probably won’t, and while this is pretty much just speculation on my part, I don’t think most people’s attraction would cease once it’s something you would start to call a cartoon. The things that we find attractive don’t cease through stylization. TL:DR a nice ass is still a nice ass if it’s only lineart

he really just nailed down why i like animation so much more than live action when i myself wasnt able to its so much easier to follow! idk if im just a stupid loser or what but i just cant tell what people are thinking or feeling from their faces animated characters will make it very obvious, from gumball to death note.

I remember being pretty depressed for like a week after beating persona3. It actually felt like these characters you spent the game socializing and battling monsters with suddenly just died.

Solar Sands: “Cartoons are just more honest than people.” Me: “I can’t tell if that’s deep or sad.”

Cartoons: exaggerating emotions to be easier to read My autism: yesss

Great video. I often find myself thinking about this stuff.

The words "Post Avatar Depression" flashed on screen accompanied by a Green Day song I haven't listened to in years. It did something to me. I thought post Avatar depression was the feeling of having watched Avatar - The Last Airbender or having listened to a really good song/album and thinking: damn, it will be hard to find something this good.

_"Almost all Japanese animation is produced by humans who can't stand looking at other humans. And that's why the industry is full of otaku."_ *~ Hayao Miyazaki*

Me: Just wanting an anime girl Solar: *giving me an existential crisis about the future and our technology*

Chapter 37 "Two-Dimensions" of the horror/comedy manga Franken Fran is about a girl who asks to be surgically modified to look like an anime character because the man she has a crush on is a massive Otaku. I recommend checking it out. Like I said, it's a horror comedy manga so it's not really a serious examination of the concept but it does a pretty good job of depicting just how impossible a cartoonish figure is in real life. You don't need to read the rest of the series at all to understand what's going on because the series is basically like a series of standalone short stories with the same main cast being hired to do some impossible surgery each chapter. I want to talk a bit about genetically engineered cat girls™ because it's actually an interesting topic and quite frankly, my fetish. I think animal ears and the addition of tails will probably be something humans can potentially be born with if their parents choose to pay for it, and there will be many important ethical debates that arise from it. Obviously I'd be happy to have my fetish be possible in real life (cat ear headbands are *NOT* the same) but I'm concerned that the babies will have no way to consent to changes in their genetics and appearance decided before their birth and many of them, particularly the early adopters of this technology will no doubt face new medical issues and discrimination. I also want to defend myself by pointing out that there's one key difference between furries and people who are into catgirls. Catgirls are humans with animal traits whereas furries are animals with human traits. I've even heard some people call those monstrosities "anthros" which just drives the point home even further.

just now getting into the channel and i'm really loving it so far

Fun fact: owls cant move their eyes because they arent round. They're actually cylindrical

This man basically just said “Anime characters will never be real in our universe.” In a more expanded and logical way.

Well I am officially terrified of my computer now.

Honestly for a lot of people it'd be a dream situation. Many would pay a lot of money to be able to be trapped in an alternate reality designed to their desires. All everyone longs for is an ideal world. We only see being trapped as being negative because we have an unilateral view of reality and we can't imagine something so realistic you wouldn't care to differentiate them. But we don't ever see reality for what it is: a rendition made by our brain depending on a set of parameters it receives. We don't even perceive time linearly, our perception depends on the quantity of information streaming in. If a computer could feed us as much detailed information as we get from reality, there would be strictly no difference with reality. It'd just become an alternative reality that can be turned on and off. We'd have a main reality, and a set of alternative realities we can use, with the only attribute of the main reality being that it is the base upon which all other realities are built. All our brain wishes for is the right type of stimulation, reality doesn't really matter. We have a simple set of needs and everything beyond that can be taken care of in any context. A number of problems with our current world could be solved with sufficiently advanced technology. Politics are a matter of ambition and sense of belonging, which can be transferred through there being an ideal world to you. War is a matter of resources, and it is likely that any ownership beyond access to alternate realities and survival wouldn't really matter to humans. Speaking of resources, overconsumption can be limited to electricity, food and water. Population numbers will naturally fall, but can be solved through cloning (people are too attached to the human form and too worried of losing power to consider evolving into a set of data in a datacenter). Pollution can be reduced. Production problems can be automatized, leading to low prices, and potentially self-sufficient production and distribution, which would essentially make prices deflate to 0, as both production and distribution would become free, making the capitalist system worthless. Services too will end up deflating, due to any sort of material or human costs being reduced to nothing, any sort of competition would lead to a price fall. There would be no place for a corporate overlord. Even defense (asteroids) and emergency management (volcanic eruption, earthquake) can be predicted and managed by an automatic process. In the end, a humanity sufficiently advanced will be reduced to an individual choice: what do you want to do, rather than what do you need to do. That is, if humanity didn't destroy themselves at any point in the process.

The real answer for all the problem:"Reject humanity,return to Monke"

I like how the video went from “Let’s build an anime girl” to “AI will take over the world and we’ll voluntarily tap our whole species into the matrix” 😂

Maaaan I've been thinking/struggling about this shit for most of my life. Great video man hits different

can't wait for the metaverse comes out and its gonna screw over a hell of a lot of people

This turned from "lol, anime big eyes" into a discussion about reality itself real quick

A lucid dream is probably gonna be a weeb’s heaven
