Gotta argue with this point
That's obv not what they were saying, cuz this is obv anime. But... the hands are the size of her eyeballs, her head is bigger than her entire torso, her neck is as thin as her arms which are thinner than her pupils. Well maybe not exactly, but the point is that real children have a similar head to torso ratio (relative to adults) and thinner and smaller hands and relatively larger eyes. Anime artists know that.
The point isn't that the proportions aren't human, the point is that they're exaggerated in a way that's closer to the size of a child. So the artist can make it unrealistic, but why make it unrealistic in a way that most people would see it as child like?
