Get the eyes of an anime character

Many people love all things anime, the hit animations created in Japan. Known for their large eyes, pointy faces, and limbs longer than life. There’s plenty of anime merchandise to be found, from costumes to figurines to a whole anime bedding set with one’s favourite character on it. More and more, people are wanting to be closer to their favourite animes than before. Many ask for anime gifts for their birthdays and Christmas, and some even go as far as wanting to dress as their favorite characters to fully live their fantasies. And Geo lenses have made that dream one step closer to reality.

GEO lenses has recently created extra-wide contact lenses that are designed to give you the appearance of an anime character. Only now can you achieve the appearance of somebody from a cartoonporno hentai movie. As for the lenses though, not only are they tinted unnatural colours but they also are heavily tinted beyond the normal rim of your eye. Some of the lenses also feature very unnatural iris formations, such as the Sharingan from the popular anime Naruto. Or spiraling “hypno eyes” that one might see in a animehentaivideos.xxx animation, where – as the name suggests – one is hypnotised under a spell.

All in all, these lenses could easily creep out someone who does not understand anime very quickly. And to some anime fans, it may creep them out regardless. The uncanny valley is quite real and may be a hurdle that Geo lenses has to work around if their new product is to become a hit. Just because someone wearing these contacts would be reminiscent of someone straight out of Pokemon or Sailor Moon , perhaps we are not quite ready for that just yet. It may be some time before we are prepared to encounter a “Misty” or “Sasuke” fan down the street.
