Line 31:
* Show of hands: who here thinks Masaru and Toma from ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' look fourteen (especially considering that nineteen-year-old Masaru looks ''exactly the same'' in the [[Distant Finale]])?
** Especially striking given that [[Art Shift|the previous seasons' kids all looked younger than their actual ages]], and we are referring to their ''original'' Japanese ages - the American dub tended to add a year or so to the main character ages to account for the [[Values Dissonance|extreme independence compared with American kids of similar ages]], giving them the impression of looking even younger than they should.
* In ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' everybody in the central cast looks older than they should. For reference, here are the protagonist [https://web.archive.org/web/20160402113100/http://aboutgundamwing.com/GlossaryImages/ep46_Heero.jpg Heero] (age 15) and [[The Rival]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160402120302/http://aboutgundamwing.com/GlossaryImages/ep45_ZechsSm.jpg Zechs] (age 19), except for Quatre (also 15) who looks ''younger''.
** [[Teens Are Short|Until you see one of the Gundam pilots standing next to an adult]].
** Of course this is just following a long ''Gundam'' tradition: some particularly weird ones are [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Judau]] [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6a/Judau_Ashta.jpg Ashta]{{Dead link}} (age 14; looks at least 17), [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Bright]] [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/Bright_Noah_%28Gundam%29.jpg Noa]{{Dead link}} (age 19; looks at least 22), and [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Kacylia]] [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/2/23/Kacylia_Zabi_%28Gundam%29.jpg Zabi] (age 27; looks at least in her late 30s). Though Heero at least looks closer to his given age without the near- permanent scowl.
