Is that Violet?

And in the very first picture, Shibugaki and Tamao? (or Alvin/Abercrombie and Theodore, so everybody understands! )

This charater's English name is 'Lodar.' I would not care to guess its sex, though.

Yes, Alvin & Theodore. I really do not know their 1960s English names, though I probably noted them somewhere.

The second image... Does astro use eyeshadow, like my Lum?

...

Yeah, I'd better return to my true self.

I meant, is that basically the equivalent character?

That was the one thing I really disliked about the '60s series. I just could not understand why everybody had shaded eyelids.

I found it weird at first, but I think it was their technique for defining the eye shape while the eyes are closed. Like maybe they thought this looked strange and too empty-faced:


And unless I find the original Japanese says Lodar/Violet is a boy, I'm convinced she's a girl. Those eyelashes are too big.

[Ataru Moroboshi]

In the Spanish version of the manga Violet is a boy, but, man, those eyelashes...

Good point there, Dr.Frag. Without the eyeshadow, Astro looks even creepy, and has no life on his eyes (in fact we can't even see his eyes).

[Astro Forever]

But maybe they could have defined the eyelids with just a line?
