They are talking in a sarcastic New York accent when viewed from the front.

This was quality, and then I read the title and enjoyed it even more!

What is worse is when they still draw the shape of the lips, but it's not connected to the mouth.

This was originally done for animation's sake cause it was easier to animate. Still looks dumb tho.

I understand it avoids animating the jaw but adding the separate outline of the lips is really disconcerting. Looks better smooth like in #1

I see you, World Trigger... or Log Horizon.

easier to redraw a mouth on the same picture than redraw the whole head, this saves on animation and cuts time

Yea, pretty much, it's a cost reducing method. You'll notice these things if you watch enough, in talking scenes where no one moves if you

cover the mouth area, nothing is moving besides the mouth. Just having to draw the mouth vs the entire jaw saves time.

Well, I mean, his nose obstructs the view of the rest of his mouth so your point is a little lacking..

Point me to where the post specifies only Japan.

9 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 1

it's very clearly using an anime/manga style face. And if you're familiar with the actual post, it's clarified to be talking about anime.

I think you're being a bit sensitive about this haha. It's all gravy bro

Yeah but it is cropped. So op isn't making that specific point

I point it out, I get downvoted. Imgur sure is a great community guys.

Your attempting to attribute the thoughts of the original poster of the image as this posters

if they drew the mouth fully open, it'd look strange from the side and they'd have to draw anything in the background.

Usually the background is always drawn and the characters are applied over it.

Looks fine. Side-mouth is just animators skimping on having to animate jaw movement.

it's very much a limitation on funding. Ever since 720p became the standard, detail went way down.

9 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 2

And it's certainly easier if they want to redraw the mouths during dubbing so the movement syncs up

That always bothered me, and when their hair goes behind their eyes..

I think they do this in animation so they don't have to animate the whole jaw moving, only the mouth? Then it kinda leaked into some manga.

and also not having to deal with the background showing through the open mouth

It's a stylistic choice. Artistic liberty and what have you.

Which episode?

If only there were some way to put your right leg to the left of your left leg then take a single step and turn. Oh wait. Context matters.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Except if you're paying attention the big toe is on the inside of that right leg that magics into a left leg.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

At no point in this gif can i see the toes clearly enough to identify them. fingers and toes are awkward to animate. context still matters.
