Close enough, but in Trading Faces the change looks a little more acceptable. However in GSM, I still feel that she looks like she's in her 20s. Perhaps it is just me then..... Maybe because it's the way her face is drawn in "GSM". It's leaner as I said with a pointed chin. Same with her body. Compare that shot with the "Trading Faces" one, and one can see a major difference in her facial shape. So yes, Bonnie does look like she's much older than 17/18 in "GSM".

Maybe Bon Bon got sent home for that skirt. Man, I bet everyone knew what color she had on that day. Especially if she *bends* over. ;D Yep, that skirt is shorter than the cheer uniform skirt. Heck, I see it's shorter than Yori's school uniform skirt seen in "Exchange" and "Gorilla Fist".

One little remark I had to make about this episode fast...I loved how Ron broke the fourth wall at the end....Too funny. I loved how all the kids were all stairing at Ron all like what the heck LOL. So does this mean Ron's the only one who knows this is a show and the others are left in the dust about it? LOL. Becuase even Kim and Monuiqe were all confused about who he was talking to LOL. Of course Ron knows about the viewers! He runs rs.net afterall ^^

Compare that shot with the "Trading Faces" one, and one can see a major difference in her facial shape. So yes, Bonnie does look like she's much older than 17/18 in "GSM". This episode and "Trading Faces" were done by two different studios. Different studios handle the characters differently. Steve decides to what extent those variations are a problem. If Bonnie looks older here, it's because of the interpretation placed on her by the overseas animator. (That's "animator" singular -- since she's only in one or two scenes, it was most likely the same artist drawing both of them.) Perhaps that animator was projecting a bit, and wondering what Bonnie would be like at the age of consent. There are some things we are not meant to know... As I said, it's Steve's call as to whether something like this is a problem that needs to be redone. In this case, he either didn't feel Bonnie needed to be redrawn, or decided there were bigger problems with this episode. (He's very good at picking his battles, by the way.)

Oooh, that sounds good. I'm fine with that. By the way, how was partying with Paris Hilton? Small joke. I have my own idea on how this episode was conceived. I also have to applaud you for your use of visual rhetoric. I loved it.

I guess in this business, you really have to choose your battles, with the tight deadlines and all. However, I do think its nice to have a slight preview on how Bonnie would look like in her 20s.

Well, you watched her in ASIT, but she was in her 30's.

^ she looked like she aged thirty years more in that movie! By the way, It's not just bonnie, but I feel the entire school atmosphere is different...it feels like they're already in uni, since my High school experience was nothing like theirs.

Mine was similar to theirs, sadly enough. Except I wasn't a cheerleader. I dated band geeks (love the band geeks!) The sports teams had absolutely no funding because all the money went to drama and choir. No one saved the world. Geeks and cheerleaders certainly did not date. Our hallways were crowded. We had no real cafeteria... Okay, it was nothing like it.

Every time we do a play, it gets sold out. And they get to advertize on the city's bill boards. Proms are scheduled based on band/choir tours. The highest choir is a cult. If you are on a sports team, there is no guarentee of popularity. But if you are in choir or drama, you are instantly cool. And according to my sisters, it has become more so since I left.

The Drama/non marching music programs were like the redheaded stepchild.

The city newspaper wrote an article on the oddity a few weeks ago. I know it's very bizarre, but that was my high school! But hey, when we did "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" my senior year, they ran for two weeks longer than they were supposed to until our Joseph had an on-stage nervous breakdown. But it was awesome. The drama department goes all out for the plays. At least they edited "Jekyl and Hyde".

That sounds crazy. My high school was crazy for sports... I hear they were very good, but I stayed away from the sports. I didn't like sports or people who did it.
I was more into theatre, the bastard child of the art world.
Your Joseph had an on-stage nervous breakdown? May I ask, what happened?

I kept thinking as Ron got fatter and fatter, "Oh, their sex life is going down the tubes." You assume, of course, that they actually are having sex. Heck, even cloudmonet said that the evidence doesn't point one way or the other, and they haven't been sleeping together as of Ill-Suited, and her dad wouldn't allow her to have a regualr premarital sex life, and...

LOVED THE "SUPER SIZE ME" (that movie/documentary has made me like.. never eat at fast food restaurants. I have barely gone to one since watching it 3 years ago..lol), the "King Kong" and the "Hulk" references!
OMFG... MONKEY FIST WAS IN IT... SO, DUH, I LOVED IT. "Ron hate monkeys! MONKEY MAN BAD!" Monty was all, "Oh shi-" HAHA.
Loved the humor.
The animation was great.
THE ENDING THING WHERE RON IS TALKING TO "US" WAS JUST WONDERUFL. "Who's he talking to?" OMFG.. <3
4-4.5

I was more into theatre, the bas tard child of the art world. Your Joseph had an on-stage nervous breakdown? May I ask, what happened? Because he had been singing the same darn songs for three weeks straight. He was a high school student--not yet trained for Broadway stints lasting for months and months. The poor guy just started bawling uncontrollably. I think our high school wasn't so much into sports because our fields were crap and we had no swimming pool... Or maybe it was something else. I honestly have no idea why it was such an artsy school. As for the question of Ron and Kim's sex life... call me old-fashioned and conservative, but I don't think teenagers are responsible enough for sex.

That poor guy.
Yeah, I agree. Teenagers aren't responsible for sex. I hate hearing about teenagers having sex, and yet I don't mind it for Kim and Ron. I guess, I view Kim and Ron different than other teenagers.
For the first time since I watched Grande Size Me, exactly a week ago, I ate fast food. I even made two videos that I'm still uploading, I'll post them later. I didn't mind eating fast food but I felt like I was gonna turn into Godzilla, rampage through the city and then KP was gonna have to save me. LOL. That episode scared the crap outta me. Which reminds me, I gotta go work on my paper on Internet Addiction (haha, after working on that stuff, I'm spending less time online!)
