What's your favourite facial expression to see on an anime character?

By far, mine is this kind of pout. Bonus points if one cheek is especially puffy and blushed. I think Shima Katase from Stellvia did it best, but I don't have a pic.

I like the pout and the widened eyes ^ as well. Especially the widened eyes bit, that really makes scenes more dramatic lol (Runway de Waratte recently did a great job with that)

I honestly love any face zenitsu makes during the series.

Also the pout is too adorable.

Pretty much any of the Dangaronpa expressions as they work with the designs that are already there well and most of the expressions are unique to a particular character. Wanna make a kid who is a supervillain feeling arrogant or clearly knows something? Here ya go:

Narrow his eyes(as to indicate the situation got more serious), have him make a quiet gesture with his hand(to indicate he's the type to have secrets about him) and have a subtle smile(since smirks are used when a character is trying to be more secretive or cunning because it isn't as obvious as wide smiles).

Wanna see someone so furious they are about to curse you? There it is:

Put heavy shadows on his face(as that makes him more intimidating), cirl up one hand as though it is a spider(since it's unnatural and looks defensive), and have him overlap that with his arm in which his other hand makes a variation of a middle finger(to really drive home he is angry and that the way he shows it is foreign).

Do you want a carefree spiritual(in a cult-like sense) character to nag you about something? Well, this is what that looks like:

Have said character stares at you wide-eyed in an almost soulless manner with their mouth smiling wide open(as to make the character uncanny in a doll-like way), and have the character with her hands behind her back while she looks at you from an angle(with the hidden hands to make you feel more uneasy and the hyperactivity most free-spirited characters have).

This goes on, Toko, for example, actually sweats a lot, has lines on her forehead and has a messed up line as a mouth to indicate she doesn't take good care of her hygiene or is nervous when interacting with people. Personally, I always looked at it as the former, but I can see others believing it was the latter.

+1 to Araragi and Rista. Both have top tier expressions.

Prison School is also a goldmine for funny ridiculous faces, especially if they come from my man Gakuto.





What makes them hilarious is the sudden realism of the faces compared to the normal artstyle of the series.

I love the blank stare faces, especially the ones with the lines drawn through them. That and the 0-60 laughing to serious ones get me every damn time. Nichijou, Hinamatsuri, OPM, GTO, Yuru Yuri, all have some great ones. I have no idea how to paste images from mobile like yall, so these get my votes.
