The art for _Subete Ga F Ni Naru_ is much more "realistic" that most of the
anime that's been coming out lately. It seems to me that each character is
unique enough that they could be based on real life "models". Is there any
**documentation or word from the creators** if this is the case and if it is,
who the original models were?

EDIT: in answer to the request to define reality: as you can see below, the
art does not rely on different hair colors or hair styles to differentiate the
characters. Each character has distinct facial features that reflect reality
rather than an moefied idealized anime world.

question
subete-ga-f-ni-naru
Are the characters based on real people?


As far as I know, this is mostly due to the chara-designer's style, Inio
Asano. He doesn't take his designs from real people (or at least he doesn't
say so), yet his works all have this realistic and very diverse type of
people.

As opposed to many anime chara-designers, he's not an animator, but a mangaka,
with a very detailed, realistic style, as you can see below:

He drew the original chara-designs and character sheets that were used by the
animators at A1-Pictures for The Perfect Insider, and that's probably that
style you noticed. If you're curious, his works are critically acclaimed (and
not only for the crazy art), with mangas like _Solanin_ or _Good Night
Punpun_.

Even though, you can clearly see how his raw style evolved to a more simple,
and "round" style when it wad adapted, but it still keeps this realistic
aspect.

Hope it answered your questions, at least partially. Unfortunately, I couldn't
find word from Asano on these specific designs.
