#i was watching csm and couldnt stop thinking about how much i love their eyes

[kitty-thinks-stuff]

ive always really liked picking apart different animation styles, and how things are done, but if you know me you know my favorite thing to look at is expressions. more specifically, eyes. they convey so much emotion its actually insane, and the different ways people draw them?? omomomohmomhonohn

so here have a post about my favorite ways that animes have drawn eyes (ft. tokyo ghoul, demon slayer, bungou stray dogs, and chainsaw man)

TOKYO GHOUL RAHHHHH no one does horror like them!!! this is so evident so early on in the scene where kaneki is trying to eat food after his stay in the hospital, and the terror of not being able to eat human food is finally setting in

and of course, we can't forget when he went outside for the first time after the accident

yeahhh. tokyo ghoul absolutely loves to white out the eyes, not entirely, but they make the pupils so small and their eyes HUGE. the TERROR that they portray is amazinggggg

demon slayer has the prettiest eyyesss!!!!!

ive always absolutely loved how they draw their eyes. its so colorful, so detailed!! the demon eyes are my favorite, especially the demons with numbers scratched into them.

i mean COME ONNNN, the color??? also, another early on show, when tanjiros family died and he came home to find out. the expressio they drew for him??? phenominal.

demon slayer likes to scrunch up the nose, and really throws in the mouth and the eyebrows too, while tokyo ghoul is almost entirely focused on the eyes (also the absolute peak voice acting omg)

oooo yess bungou stray dogs a personal favorite of mine now obviously every bsd fan knows that bsd loves to give us big fishbowl eyes during serious scenes

(the chuuya one is a personal favorite of mine but, i digress) despite how many jokes i make about this angle, i actually really like it. not only does it give bsd something significant that you can associate it with, but i think it does a really good job of making everything... a little unsettling especially in lucy's scene where shes describing them getting captured for the rest of their lives, but if they try to leave they'll forget everything, including their friends. and shes getting so much joy out of it, its meant to be a scary scene! and the fishbowl just adds that disturbance, this uncomfortableness bc atsushi is fucking going through it LMAO of course i have to talk about how they draw their eyes. the diamond shape is something ive always loved, with a color that somehow fits so well.

now FINALLY chainsaw man (i just started watching this show bear WITH ME)

i LOVE how csm draws their eyes. their so? detailed? they draw the little bits of the eyes that most animes dont

the way they draw makima's eyes is a personal favorite. i know from spoilers (rip) that she isnt quite human, and the way they draw her pupils different from everyone elses, with extra rings and them being an uncharacteristic bright color. the way they draw her eyes almost reminds me of a cat? my favorite thing tho, is the fact that they draw that little thing on the end that most people forget (the tear duct!!) it just makes them look so real, and when you get as close up to their eyes as you do in the anime, it almost makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, which is exactly what theyre going for considering the nature of the anime

he just looks so shocked. he fully believed he had died. he would forever starve, forever weighed down by his fathers debt. and all of a sudden, hes free, and none of it feels real.

(i could literally talk about this for hours god someone stop me)
