Somebody: All Anime characters have the same face!

American Cartoons:

(Gif by @halsteadart)

and yet the end products here are all unmistakably distinct from one another and all rendered in a different style! if anything to me this gif just shows how much you can get out of so little.

shocking: cartoon characters are traditionally built from simple shapes for appeal and ease of animation but this tried-and-true method of character design is really quite versatile!

all of these characters use that same basic head shape as seen in the gif. it’s been in use since the beginning of animation, just with 3-dimensional logic projected onto it in different ways and with different cranium-to-snoot ratios.

    I love how much op has to really stretch to make this comparison. Look how much the face and mouth are warping to fit...
