No, of course it isn't perfectly normal, it is art. Perfectly normal mostly isn't art; though the best definition of art I have seen appears to be "whatever you can get away with".

I find Japanese animation generally interesting. They seem to like to trade lower frame rates for higher detail in the frames. And the big eyes are very attractive.

I've never seen an episode of MLP. There was an anime series I was following for a while called _Gunslinger Girls_ about a group of pre-pubescent girls being trained and used as assassins by the government. I liked it rather a lot, especially the music. Perhaps that would be more to your taste.

No thanks.

I left childish things behind decades ago.
