I created a survey to add primary research to my essay to further prove my points in my research report. the questions mainly revolve around the straw hat pirates as I would focus on the main cast when discussing my research in my report.

Data analysis - survey
In general from what I noticed through the statistics is that a lot of people, both those who have watched One Piece and those who have not watch One Piece, do not really know the characters after Chopper. I believe this is because of how long the anime is and how long to takes to meet the rest of the crew.
this is the pie chart from people who have not watched one piece
this is the statistics from people who have watched one piece
Moreover, there was quite a few criticisms of the character designs of both robin and nami, which would be valuable research for my research report as many individuals based on online reactions do not like the body stereotypes that One piece encourages and sets.

Research part 4 - Toxic Beauty Standards
Toxic beauty standards have always existed as there have always been expectations on appearances to the public eye. However, standards change as time passes and different standards are set according to trends.
Media does not help with these standards, they make it worse as there is a lack of representation when it comes to visuals outside the norm.
In East Asia, especially many idols are meant to conform to these expectations and standards that have been set by the entertainment industry.
Anime too has a huge impact on these standards, as the youth is majority of the time impacted by the standards set in anime, based on the media they constantly watch. The more a standard or stereotype is shown to them the more they become accustomed to it being the norm which can cause issues such as body dysmorphia as there is a lack of reliability if anime is attempting to keep up with the toxic beauty standards already set.
One Piece has this issue as many of the women in the series have an extremely exaggerated hourglass figure, not only does it make the designs boring and repetitive but it also enforces the toxic beauty standards that are already placed

Research part 3 - Bechdel test
The Bechdel test is a theory or rather a set of questions asked after watching a movie or series to determine whether female characters have been portrayed poorly and are dependent on a male character in the series.
Are there at least two named women in the movie?
Do these women talk to each other?
Do these women talk to each other about something besides a man?

Research part 2 - character design
Character design is the process of creating a character for animations, toys, books and live-action films. the character starts as a concept and further research is done to create visuals so it fits the description of the character.
There are many important aspects to character design, all of which help with the design of the character to make them visually appealing on screen and for viewers to get an idea of their personality of interest.
One of these aspects is shape language, the 3 primary shapes are squares, triangles and squares.
circles are associated with friendliness and joy
squares are associated with rigidness and reliability
triangles are associated with being cunning and mysterious
Some artists mess around with the symbolism behind the shapes and make villains appear more approachable to deceive the viewer and the characters in the story. An example is Leonard from Angry Birds

colour theory
Colour is very important for any design aspect as every colour has a separate significance. colour theory is basically the study of how colours work together and affect the viewer's perception and emotions
