Japanese Male Otaku Prefer 3D Women Over 2D


Yucasee Media reported the results of a poll conducted via a free Senki Zessho Symphogear iOS app. The poll asked male otaku about what kind of females they liked: 2D, 2.5D or 3D?

To those who are not aware, 2D girls refers to drawn females, 2.5D refers to CGI characters, figures and to some extent, voice actresses while 3D refers to "real women".

Out of the 500 respondents, 23% like 2D women, 9.6% like 2.5D women and 65.8% like 3D women.

Well this is a surprise. Some of the reasons why Japanese male otaku prefer real women over 2D or 2.5D has something to do with the emotional side of things, like have a partner and someone to have a physical relationship with.
