Why are Japanese Anime Always Wear Western Face Standards?

Anime characters have hair and eyes like the color of the rainbow (variety), and they do not look like Japanese society in general, and various anime characters, is based on Japanese standards of beauty, such as the Supermodel from the West.

A Japanese forum taking a samples of the Caucasian skulls (west) and the Asian skulls, and compare the structure of the face between the Caucasian girl and a Japanese girl, and they also display an image face of K-ON character, Yui Hirasawa's face when using the Japanese standard, which is not as cute when wearing the the Caucasian standard, therefore a lot of Japanese anime characters always wear the face of western standards.

But I think, that about cosplay. Certainly, Asian faces (especially the Japanese people) is most suitable with anime characters.

So, what do you think?

This is about intended to prevent the otaku make their pilgrimage to the Haruhi's school.

Take pictures from the outside area of the schools are still allowed, but it was not allowed to enter.

But I think for most otaku's especially the Haruhisme, pilgrimage to there will undoubtedly be regarded as a necessary and an obligatory ritual.

Here are some comparison images that exist in the anime and the actual school.
