Happened to strike up a conversation with someone over WinMX, who wanted my "Bounty Hunter's Pursuit".
His theory on why Japanese have big eyes in Anime:
"they have big eyes to signify themselfs and small eyes for americans. they truely think americans are beutiful while they are ugly that is why they have the eye thing
yep that is what i read from one of the most famous anime creators he wrote that the eye thing was what he learned in school for art so he just kept doing it like he learned"
