Hatsune Miku? May not be the same thing your kiddo is in to, but boy is my very gay nephew obsessed. It is entirely adorable. I even added "CV01" to the ssid of the WiFi because I am the cool aunt.

If it helps give context, Miku is more of a mascot for a text-to-voice project/software that can be used to program singing using her voice or other voices too. I think all the voices have mascots that they call vocaloids.

The videos are probably promoting songs where her voice is used.

I think she tried explaining that to me, but (sorry fans) when someone starts talking about Anime stuff, my eyes start to glaze over.

Ok, maybe try the older cyberpunk angle? It's a real life Idoru from the William Gibson novel.

It's fine, I'm a dad. I'm not supposed to understand what my teenager is into.

Whatever does it for you, I guess. Her proportions are not exactly what I would find attractive if I saw her walking down the street.

That's true. I guess you have to kind of consider it in the context of the style? Anime leaves out a lot of detail in the face, and changes proportions around, so you have to have that cipher in your head that accounts for that, maybe?
