I don't want to sound pedantic. But it originated with Jun'ichi Nakahara. He created the style by drawing Japanese women's faces with their eyes three times their original size. His art style became so popular with women that it became the default way for drawing characters in women's magazines and shojo manga. Tezuka Osamu used to draw shojo manga and that's were he learned the style.


Not at all. I'd always thought that because Tezuka was inspired by the big eyes of Disney characters, he birthed the whole trend of big shiny eyes that would eventually take root in anime and manga.

After listening to a podcast where the fellows hosting ask one of their mods from the UK (who was drunk) about whether he'd have sex with a girl with a "funky" eye, what happens when I make a stop here? I get a strip on the whole "anime eye" deal. I won't lie this whole thing had me dying.

But wait isn't the eyes the windows to the soul?
Which was a response by a late friend where we had a whole discussion about why "anime" eyes were so huge. Now I have a clue.

But man folks are still on about the eyes in this movie.

Personally I didn't mind the eyes. That is what anime eyes would look like in reality and it just highlights her non-human nature.

Yet she seems like the only non-human in the movie that'll look that way.
