Surprisingly the anime was more realistic about things than the Novel and the movie. Even Mei's living prop stance can be justified with a few things physically and mentally. I go more on the physical side of things mainly because much of what she does actively is rare. For starters she was a cancer patient at a very young age. That tumor and the surgery may have been a close one and gave her a gift/curse to boot. But there seemed to be side effects most have overlooked. I already discussed that one with Godzillafan here, but I'm not sure if you know this Yui. One of the things I often have a knack for is noticing a few things that I think the Anime did as either an injoke in regards to the source material or a thing they used as part of their interpretation. In the case of Mei, she didn't just survive the tumor with the sight ability. She's shown to be extremely pale. Which doesn't seem like a big deal since well most anime girls and guys have that one pale emo/goth style appearence. However given the context of the tumor and her surviving something that shoulda killed her. Especially at the early age of four. This causes the body to develop improperly, such as maybe anemia and being physically weak. The only times she ever participated in physical activity are very rare such as swinging on the playground poles, playing on the beach, running like hell in a hotel fire and carrying a big damn pickaxe.
