Who knows?

[PowerRanger]

Yeah, I know the characters have these skinny and small necks, but the artists are pretty damn good at proportions, nonetheless. I'm kinda used to that fact.

I'm wondering why anime characters have such huge eyes....we may never know.... O_o

[PuraTori]

well I find it depends on the artist because not all anime characters have skinny necks and giant eyes.

But to stay on the topic:
"How Do some Anime People Balance Their Heads On Those Tiny Necks... ?
maybe their heads are inflated? or empty...

why do some have big eyes?
so they can see better?

I found out why anime characters have huge eyes.

It's because the earliest anime artists tried to copy the style of Walt Disney.

From Wikipedia:

[quote]The history of anime begins at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that were being explored in France, Germany, United States and Russia.

A common approach is the large eyes style drawn on many anime characters, credited to the influence of Osamu Tezuka, who was inspired by the exaggerated features of American cartoon characters such as Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse and from Disney's Bambi. Tezuka found that large eyes style allowed his characters to show emotions distinctly. Cultural anthropologist Matt Thorn argues that Japanese animators and audiences do not perceive such stylized eyes as inherently more or less foreign. When Tezuka began drawing Ribbon no Kishi, the first manga specifically targeted at young girls, Tezuka further exaggerated the size of the characters' eyes. Indeed, through Ribbon no Kishi, Tezuka set a stylistic template that later shōjo artists tended to follow. Another variation of this style is "chibi" or "super deformed"; which usually feature huge eyes, an enlarged head, and small body.

Other stylistic elements are common as well; often in comedic anime, characters that are shocked or surprised will perform a "face fault", in which they display an extremely exaggerated expression. Angry characters may exhibit a "vein" or "stressmark" effect, where lines representing bulging veins will appear on their forehead. Angry women will sometimes summon a mallet from nowhere and strike someone with it, leading to the concept of Hammerspace and cartoon physics. Male characters will develop a bloody nose around their female love interests (typically to indicate arousal, based on an old wives' tale). Embarrassed characters will invariably produce a massive sweat-drop, which has become one of the most widely recognized stereotype motifs of anime.[/quote]

I'll never be as good as an original artist, I'm wondering: All the time in an anime school, why do they always have uniforms? mine does....

[DG-sama]

Because anime is traditionally made in Japan... and with a fwe exceptions most japanese schools require uniforms.

[Lakilester13]

[sonicparade]

Lol Also You'll Notice In Some Animes, They Very Rarely Blink! wtf!?

[sonicparade]

mmmmm pie xD

[Dark_Angel_Of_Light]

I think I prefer the smaller necks rather than the chunky ones. Example here:

The guy with glasses, as you can see, has a fairly large neck. I don't like characters like that, because they usually tend to have extremely large shoulders.

I shouldn't judge what or how the artists draw necks, but in some cases it's a little overboard.

[hakutheblindedsoul]

I agree. I really don't like the whole big neck thing...It's sorta weird...But who's to judge the artist's style?

[Fayore]

..Everyone knows that physics doesn't exist outside of, y'know, real life? :\

[Benk]

I wonder why they always look so American.

They seem to have fucking red, blonde, and brown hair all the damn time.

It really depends of the style of the artist. If you look you can point out the many differentiates between anime despite all of its similarities.
