Anime is the Japanese word for animation. Osamu Tezuka is considered the most influential anime artist. His character Astro Boy served as an autobiographical commentary on his traumatic childhood during and after World War II in Japan. Astro Boy’s large, expressive eyes were influenced by Disney cartoons such as Bambi. Tezuka’s style became a defining characteristic of anime.
In my own work, Anime, I use slightly cartoony eyes in a melancholy context as an ode to the worldwide struggle of people surviving war.
