Whats with the huge eyes?
Tezuka Osamu, father of anime, first used that style with Astro Boy. Since then, the style has been popular and has become the leading trademark of all things anime. But not all anime use the big eyes. Many of the more serious or adult anime use smaller eyes. The reason for the size is because the Japanese believe that’s where all the emotion lies. Big eyes help to portray the character’s emotions better. Hence the big watery tears and cascading waterfalls when a person is crying.
