^Anon...how is that sad at all? Heck, it's a fun jab at Japan actually. Anime since the 2000's has been full of Bishonen guys, with exceptions growing more rare every year. And, by technicality, no matter how pretty the guy is, he shall only count as a Bishonen in Japan if he's at least a prepubescent boy and at most a young adult. In other words, 12-19 years old.

Bishonen characters are literally everywhere in anime. Almost every anime these days with a male character will have it be a bishonen of some level if the role hasn't been taken by another male character already. Sometimes even if so. Sometimes it's even the MC the bishie guy. They are so present, you could say that practicaly all male anime characters are Bishonen, and as such all Bishonen characters are anime characters.

Monty was in his early 30s. He literally was too old to be an anime character (read: Bishonen), by Japan's standards. He knew it, so he joked about it. Don't see what's so sad about it.
