Is it his mouth? Or is it a gaping hole in his cheek? He screams. For he does not know.
supersaiyansenpai
Pretty sure this is Natalie Dormer.

What you mean the enormous eyes and the minuscule nose didn't throw you off but this did?!
retrohellix
With SOME anime*

Look at Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. He's got side-mouth on BOTH sides of his face
inclination646
It's almost like... they're works of fiction in varying artistic styles... *mind blown*
BilldeTurlock
& those little penguins in the eyes
Ceracuse
Hahaha I never looked at it that way!!

This just looks like Soul Eater to me, I feel it does something similar to this more often than I think with character faces.
Whiachy
The xrays of anime girls is funny too. They are like birds, huge eyes, comparatively tiny brains.
SteveTypeRs
That's the thing you have a problem with...
BecozImBatman
Its anime.... Chill out.... Use of brain should be minimal

Have you ever seen the models for anime style 3D animations? They need to have several versions of each, that look like this. Literally.
GeoTeacher
Animation is stylized. Art is stylized. It wasn't made to be realistic
realwomenfightnaked
Tell that to the weebs
RayMC
This post was almost certainly NOT made by a weeb. Just someone who doesn't understand art and perspective.
realwomenfightnaked
My weeb comment is in response of the first comment saying "anime girls arent realistic" it was a joke.
RobertEmmet
It wasn't, but this particular thing isn't just aesthetic. It's a product of tiny animation budgets. If the only change from frame to frame
RobertEmmet
is the mouth shape imposed over the drawing of the head, then you save a lot of time drawing every conversation.
GeoTeacher
Which is what shaped the art form. Animation in Japan began after WWII on a shoestring budget.
Otamega
Because it's easier to animate the mouth than the whole bottom face
Stratego89
This style is becoming a lot less prevalent these days, actually. Probably for this exact reason. besides... ALL cartoons do this...
wyatt8740
also because cel animation is dead unfortunately
Kalesto
You see it a lot with "self taught artists")))
AmateurDeadpool
I enjoyed learning something new from all comments on this.
therealretto
Ya so just ignore the pointy ass nose, perfectly round head, weird ears, and eye size. It's fucking anime. Who cares.
DiddyMao20XX
Fair point. Would someone in the class care to tell me how Mickey Mouse's ears work?
lizardbones
American cartoons do this, too.
Stratego89
THIS
boyscanfly
Look at Mickey Mouse cartoons. Watch his ears!
BangstickMagnum
But they've always done that?
MilkMind
THOSE FUCKING EARS. I noticed them when my niece started watching Micky Mouse Club house.
boyscanfly
Aren't they weird??
MilkMind
Real fuckin' weird.
Falos
The reason that neckties (and such) were so common is that it visually "separates" the head, the viewer (and animators) can then ignore body
Falos
So you had Yogi Bear and Fred Flintstone attempting shocked, dramatic double-takes while everything under their neck calmly sits still.
balmut
OneMillionAntz
GeoTeacher
That would be more of the American animation style
YangKoete
I do that. MUCH easier to draw.
odraencoded
Missing a cheek there. The mouth would have to be dot hack levels of smaller for it to work.
CaptainPlindgrah
Sick MsPaint skills tho
CorvusSolus
more of the face needs to be animated frame by frame that way
IPoopAfterDrinkingCoffee
michealikruhara0110
This teqnique is to keep the appearance of multiple angles on one shot, making for less animation frames to draw. I hate it too.
AwkwardKeming
Mouths don't really bisect the face either. From a true profile, you don't really see much of the mouth.
AwkwardKeming
I think the original is supposed to mock like a 3/4 profile.
RosegoldEverything
In fairness, anime tends not to be too realistic.
Lionskull
then why does the Original Post matter?
fistermatic5000
Uhhmmm, no sweety. I've got hours of footage of anime women with tentacles up their vag's that says you're wrong. Incredibly realistic.
RosegoldEverything
Alright, you got me there.
Sprixxen
This looks like a snapping turtle
FizzleBurger
It's tricky for the animators, because the people animating the head/body movement aren't always the same as the people animating the lips.
SaraFourImgur
Looks weird
Blue5679
Plus then the smile would spread across the entire thing

Even anime with colossal budgets (FSN Unlimited Bladeworks) do the side-mouth thing.

As I understand it. Even "Adventure Time" has a bigger budget per episode than most anime shows.
DrIvoRobotnik
Correct. It also has way more fluid animation and detailed backgrounds, it's just deceptively primitive because of the character designs
sdfq3gb23gb423g2
yep, historically budgets in anime were even tinier, which is why lots of things in anime are they way they are. and now it's the style!
lizardbones
I'm pretty sure JoJo avoids this by never showing a character at a 45° angle to the camera
BuzzKiIlington
lizardbones
Yare yare daze
BuzzKiIlington
Literally every other angle artistically possible besides 45°
lizardbones
even some that aren't possible
ydwyrd
44, fine, 46, fine. 45? Get out of here with that nonsense.
ThisIsAJoJoReference
JoJo characters never at 45°?
lizardbones
45° was a mistake on my part. I meant 90°.
GioGioA
JoJo's artstyle is pretty realistic, relatively speaking.
ShrubNinja
Aside from everyone in the world adopting intense bodybuilding as a hobby.
lizardbones
It wasn't even a hobby for Jonathan. He and Dio were rugby players.
DrIvoRobotnik
Take a look at the parts after #3.
GioGioA
You ever gone past part 4?
ShrubNinja
Just started Diamond is Unbreakable last night.
GioGioA
(I didn't mean to sound like an asshole btw) I sincerely hope you enjoy it, it only gets better as you go imo
REDFAPPER
ShrubNinja
I just started watching it a bit ago. I just finished Stardust Crusaders, and I'm starting on Diamond is Unbreakable soon.
TerritorialRotbart
I started watching it on Toonami and now it's coming up everywhere. I don't get any references past Part 2, though...
ShrubNinja
I'm usually not that into anime, but Jojo is fucking amazing. Joseph is my favorite character, even if he's not as badass as when younger.
lizardbones
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become Speedwagon
