Description:

To accurately summarize the essence of anime, it would be to call it stylized realism because while actions and facial expressions are often exaggerated, the human form in anime is often kept similar to the human anatomy.("Anime Vs Cartoon - What’s The Difference? - We Bet You Don't Know", 2021) ("CARTOON VS. ANIME: A Battle Between Art Styles by Mast3r-Rainb0w on DeviantArt", 2021)

While the animation style itself has simplified much like its western counterpart, Anime still makes use of human anatomy and lighting reflections instead of only shadowing, this is most commonly seen in eyes and hair.("Anime style evolution | Anime style, Anime shows, Anime", 2021)(Senpai, 2021)("How Anime Has Radically Evolved In The Past 57+ Years", 2021)
