oh my goodness. I've always hated jubjubs, but Lina and I went to NP to read the news and SQUEALED when we saw this.
I don't think it's creepy at all. I think its ADORABLE.
Seriously. It's INCREDIBLY cute. I don't want to run out and get one right now or anything, but at least if the lab gave me one, I wouldn't cry. It's so fluffy! I agree, it has a bit of an animeish/video game tone to it. It's just adorable. I want to fluff it ;_;

I'm rather torn on my impression on this.
On the one hand, it is drastically better, and rather cute. But the more I look at it the more I'm overcome with this unsettling feeling. It's very much more humanoid looking, especially with the shading that almost defines a 'nose' between the eyes. The way the hair flips down at the sides also looks too human of a hairstyle. They no longer give the impression of a little fluffy-ball creature so much as the head of something else. If you erase the feet, it looks like it could be the head of some furry humanoid creature.
Eh...I'm undecided. At least I don't own any or have any particular fondness for them, so it doesn't affect me too much. There's just something creepy about them, but not in the good meepity way.
Just comparing the two images, there's such a distinct difference in the personality and overall impression of the pet:
EDIT: Dear god the 'photo of me' is creepy as hell o_o
The eyes!

I'm really starting to think I need to check my eyesight, since yet again I'm not seeing any drastic personality change (just a much-needed art update) in a revamp... yet with nearly every pet revamp, someone gets up in arms about how incredibly different they look.
Maybe I'm just... indifferent?
Either way:
HUGE improvement on the art and emotion. The eyes have great color, the fur has nice texture, and the feet actually *attach*. Holy crap.
The revamp is so great, I'm thinking of getting a Jubjub now. After 5 freaking years of hating them, some artist has changed my mind.
*sends them e-cookies*

This is kind of what I see in regards to the humanish look:
The face fits a cartoon kid too well. I think it has something to do with the shape of the eyes and how they have the almond-ish shape, and the hint of eyelids or being sunken in. If the eyes were perfectly round like normal on jubjubs, it probably wouldn't be nearly so eerie.
