Random thought while watching Myself;Yourself
So do Japanese also think they all look alike?
The setup in Myself;Yourself is that the guy (Sana) moves away for a few years, and when he comes back he doesn't recognize his former friends even though they recognize him just fine. This is a common setup for dating-sim games and derivative anime, and it seems to be a major plot point in Myself;Yourself between Sana and Nanaka (she had a crush on him, and his failure to recognize him seems to have hurt her deeply).
Add to this anime's tendency to draw represent most characters as western-looking to make them easier to distinguish, and you gotta wonder...
