The hidden problem with anime

For instance, Secure Teens reports that a 10-year-old boy lost his life while trying out a scene from Naruto. He'd talked his friend into burying him head-first into a sandbox.

For Anastasiya, a 25-year-old red-haired Ukrainian woman, she isn't at risk of dying, but she is obsessed with turning herself into a living, breathing anime character. More than that, she's been teaching her many followers how to do it one video at a time for years.

Proof of this? Disney cartoon character obsessed Pixee Fox has done countless surgeries - rib removal, rhinoplasties, breast augmentations and so on - to alter her body proportions. And she isn't backing down. What do you think?
