The proportions weren't off at all. It was just my imagination.

So I noticed something off from the beginning, the faces looked weird. To be exact all the characters had their mouths drawn a bit higher than normal. This was really uncomfortable for me but since I did not see anyone else mention it I thought it might just be me who thinks it's weird or maybe it was just in 1 scene. But it wasn't just 1 scene or episode. So far all the characters in all the episodes had their lips near their noses and really away from their chins.
The proportions felt totally off.

EDIT: The Youtuber Gikkun mentioned it in one of his latest video. I suggest you watch his video. It's really funny in my opinion :)

I'm pretty sure the animators are trying to convey that they're minors through their faces but are failing miserably at basic anatomy for anime. It's honestly so off-putting and really bugs me when watching this anime. How the fuck am I supposed to take this anime seriously when their mouths can touch their noses?

Every anime has its own style. It's not universal. You should see the noses in Escaflowne TV series.

I think they want to make them cuter or more like a child so they did that.

Pretty faitful to the manga actually

Also the funny thing is that a mouth that's a lot closer to the nose is more realistic than the average anime

My first impression was that the design looks kinda disney-ish, I think it's to highlight they are kids and to make them more cute. I really don't have the problem with this, if anything it's refreshing to see something that's not copypasted from so called anime standards.
