I don't understand blunt_bangs into hime_cut, since not every character with a hime_cut has blunt bangs. And some artist don't draw cut bangs with a hime cut.

That doesn't make sense. The hime cut pretty much means "horizontally cut bangs, sidelocks cut at the jawline, long hair in the back".

It is a Heian period style, and women in that period exposed their forehead, so they didn't have bangs that covered it. If there were bangs, they'd be parted to even sides.

If you are following the modern day hime cut, you are likely to see bangs that cover the forehead.

Good point, though I hesitate to call Kannabi-no-Mikoto's hair a hime cut, save in a few depictions.

Sorry to bother you, jxh2154, but I seem to have been hasty in recommending the implication. Would you mind undoing it?

I had never heard the term "blunt bangs" before this. Maybe it's some hairstylist jargon?

I'm sure I can't answer that, but hairstylist terminology is what I went hunting for to Wikipedia. Sort of figured that would be needed to describe what we are after. :)

Well, undone I guess. I also thought blunt_bangs were a prerequisite for a hime_cut (only time I've ever used it), but I guess not.

But all I can do is remove the implication and then mass edit blunt_bangs off every hime_cut. So it'll need to be manually re-added where it was appropriate. Unless someone has a better idea.

I was under the same impression, and thought the "fringe hime cut" references in the hime_cut wiki were a bit iffy. If the style is actually anachronistic in that aspect though and we want to use hime_cut for both historic and modern versions of the hairstyle, the implication doesn't work, I guess.

Maybe it'd be better to manually remove blunt_bangs where it doesn't apply? I'd guess that most of hime_cut still applies to the tag.

Sorry, I was using the American term for fringe, meaning edge ends of *anything. Not the British term meaning bangs. I just figured you would put blunt_bangs as in actual bangs that were cut straight even across. And put that in the bangs tag.

Which is why I suggested blunt-cut_bangs in order to describe bangs that were cut, instead of hanging uneven on the forehead.

Yeah, probably. Mio alone is over 700 and she's definitely blunt_bangs. nagi, zange, enma_ai, houraisan_kaguya and a few others probably make up a lot of the blunt_bangs hime_cuts

I'll hold off on a mass removal edit.

Hmm, that makes sense. I guess the potential synonymy threw me. Basically then you were explicitly calling the examples I was referring to as "iffy" "iffy" by calling them "fringe", which is exactly what I meant.

In any case if we want to consider them hime_cut (and it seems we should since they still have the chin-length sidelocks) the implication still breaks.
