So it seems sparkling crystal clear that he did not "see her differently," or else why didn't he see her differently the first time he turned around? And why is this "different" form the exact same standard of beauty society has been pushing (thin, heavily made-up, skanky dress, outrageous flirty behavior)?

The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. There are a lot of ways to show someone "working hard" besides having them exercise and zooming in on jiggling fat rolls. There are clearer ways to show someone "accepting themselves" than to have a fat American woman transform into a hot Asian chick. The animation segments make the woman look like a reptilian freak and the humor is done at her expense. Ayu is just doing some bad, overdone acting at the end, not trying to be satirical.

The fat woman didn't get with the balloon guy, either. She wasn't even looking at him. It's amazing what some of you people come up with to make this video match your perception of Ayu as someone who can do no wrong.

I love you.
