Beautiful Corpse
In a way, I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to re-engineer the Real Doll. This time with "anime goodness," although I must say I don't really see a strong resemblance. I do still get the same heebie-jeebies looking at one. Yours, for only $7500! Whatta bargain!
I'd say the larger eyes are what they're referring to, along with the highly stylized proportions.
Though I wasn't reminded of anime - it was Bratz that occurred to me. Which is actually significantly creepier than anime, considering those who might buy these.

I wouldn't say they're too anime-ized. Sure, their eyes seem disproportionately large, but the little triangular mouths so commonly drawn for anime-chicks, would be decidedly inappropriate--if not painful--in this context!
