Top 15 Anime Girls With an Eyepatch: Cool, Cute or Unnecessary?
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that eye patches are unusually common in anime?
Maybe people like the air of mystery and vulnerability they give to the wearer which helps make them even cuter. Maybe the writers use it as a way for their characters to be able to conceal a secret power.
Whatever the reason, an eye patch makes an anime girl's appearance even more outstanding and unique.
