It usually looks weird when they do have lips.

Lips are hard to animate properly.

This. And most believe that thin lips help in making a good character look more innocent

Yeah. The character I posted was the main villain and supposed to be the hottest girl, and no surprise, she's the only female with lips. She looks like crap 80% of the time in the anime though.

>Does anyone else think it makes them look weird ?
no

Easier to draw
but also because the way cartoons work is by simplying reality, this is also why their skin is so smooth unlike real skin that has all kind of pigment disorder in it, hair, wringles, weird skin texture on close up, veins under the skin etc.

Animator already bitching when they draw modern anime eye that have too many details.

If it wasn't about that they would always find something to bitch about.

Jojo characters have the best lips

Do you like big lips?

>those artists who don't fully draw mouths

Is it hard drawing a line?

I would not think it would be.

Lips are disgusting enough in real life.

...

But that pic has lips, you can see the shadow under her lip.

>You will never kiss her

Purely in the interest of science, I tried removing the lips from a 3DPD to see what it would look like

It's an intentional choice that has nothing to do with difficulty.

I'm sorry I don't see that.

In animation, you're always on the line between too much detail and not enough. It's easy to put too much detail in the lips, and then it all falls to shit.

Like their salary?

Exactly

She looks like a dude.

If you think that you've been looking at too many bishounen

I'm not sure i'm looking at the same picture as you because I don't see a dude.

>not knowing the joys of a fine 2D mouthpussy

say what ?

Red lips are basically imitation of a vagina.
You'd think its the fanserviest bodypart of them all.

Start watching Shaft shows if you want lips

Same reason no one has fingernails. They're ugly.

Most cartoon characters don't have lips. People always have these special expectations for Japanese animation because they think it's special or something. They're cartoons, they don't need to anything.

Yuuuuck

Srs most of the time lips are drawn to meant uglyness.

...

Dick sucking lips are the best.

>not liking lips
Didn't know this was the gay district.

fingernails are just a little bit different than lips.

>why doesn't anime have _____/why does this [animation] have _____?
The answer is that there's literally thousands of drawings in every episode, so corners absolutely must be cut. Read manga if it really bothers you.

always looks like they're wearing heavy makeup when they do.

I don't like thin lips, it ruins my fantasy

...

The best one do.

That is true

The lips don't really bother me, I don't spend much time looking at lips.

What's truly killer is when jaws don't move. Even more so when some do and some don't.

tfw you realize Frost's design changes were only made to make the character easier to draw

That is scary. Can't unsee now FUCK
