It's why most women will want you to take a shot of them from above, it's a perception thing (I'm married, so this is experience talking). I think the actress that plays Kagura is nice to look at, but the director could have given her a better shot.

Also, one more slightly off topic thing that most dont realize, many actors and actresses spend a LOT of money to get work done. And by work I mean beauty is pain type of work. Hundreds of yen type work. It's insane the competition that goes into this. So when you see what you think is your ideal perfection, it's not natural 100% of the time.

Now back to getting this train on track.

Gotcha, and I wasn't criticizing. I noticed this a lot myself in Kyoryuger as well. Not sure it would fly in America, but it sort of endeared me a bit.

Also, there's something about Kagura's quirky looks (weirdly flat teeth and all) that is appealing.
