Uncanny Valley/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Actually referenced offhandedly in ''[[The World God Only Knows]]''. One ''unique'' girl is trying to make a 'human' out of a remote controlled box, but people laugh at it. Keima draws a little smiley face on it and adds a cute note, and suddenly people are helping out. The girl decides to put a mannequin head on it to make it even more human... and it creeps people out to see a box with a human head on top roll through the hallway.

* Used as a plot point in ''[[The Kindaichi Case Files]]'' mystery "House of Wax": {{spoiler|The killer intentionally makes wax statues of his guests that are fantastically detailed, but look a little... off. This is so that during a series of crimes when it appears that the wax figures are being set up to resemble the scenes of people who will be found murdered, the murderer can pose as a statue using a mask, and no one will examine it too closely since it so clearly looks inhuman.}}

** {{spoiler|Apocryphos... just frickin apocryphos}}

* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] has a few examples. Ryou Bakura, and the way that smile [[Stepford Smiler|never seems to leave his face, even when terrible things happen]]. And Dark Yugi, early in the manga, somehow managed to make [[Narm|not having a nose]] ''terrifying.''
