This album is not creepy at all.

Anime girls are too cute. Watch out for some rabbits though. Anaxilus was a pupil of this cute creature...

It would be cute if they weren't sexualized. 

Anime girls with the short skirts and curvy bodies and huge child like eyes = creepy.

In the Western world there are pin-ups, Asia and Japan in particular has the "fan service." I grew up with comics and I agree that the over-sexualisation of women is disturbing. The same applies for men in comics and animation if you ask me.

People and cultures have their preferences and opinions. At one point the "fan service" stops being tasteful and becomes a reason to avoid anime until something really good comes up again like Code Geass or Attack on Titan.

I like a lot of anime, but most of what I've seen is not like this. 

Yes there are cultural differences and "cute" is popular in Japan and to a lesser extant in other Asian cultures, and that blurs the lines.  But instinctually, viscerally, when you see a hyper-sexualized female form attached to a child's face it is just disturbing.

I fully agree.

Edit: Sometimes I am a bit slow in my "yes", "no" and "tell me more" responses until get some context. I love animation, be it on paper or on film. Too bad about the trend of pushing-the-limits-at-the-cost-of-the-story. Then "Mobile Suit Gundam" it is.
