why is this a thing?

Humans typically have mouths user.

I thought you would know this by now.

In human anatomy, the mouth is the first portion of the alimentary canal that receives food and saliva.[1] The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane epithelium lining the inside of the mouth.

In addition to its primary role as the beginning of the digestive system, in humans the mouth also plays a significant role in communication. While primary aspects of the voice are produced in the throat, the tongue, lips, and jaw are also needed to produce the range of sounds included in human language.

The mouth consists of two regions, the vestibule and the oral cavity proper. The mouth, normally moist, is lined with a mucous membrane, and contains the teeth. The lips mark the transition from mucous membrane to skin, which covers most of the body.

is your mouth split verticlaly down the middle, user?

is your mouth a single line, user?

You can always rely on your good old pal MS paint

yes

Japs trying desperately to save a few pennies on animation by skipping parts that the human brain typically fills in automatically.

It's meant to suggest the philtrum. But you knew that already.

It's the point where the upper and lower lip touch each other. It's meant to give it a more fleshy look than just a solid line, you retarded mong.

Why does she have two mouths?

: \ /

is you nose a single line too? and do your eyes cover 20% of your face?

because this looks retarded as fuck

How would this possibly save money? The animator would get paid the same, regardless.

It's a joke you retard

are you shitting me?

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

that's what you should tell to the author of konosuba

it looks the same

the less detail an anime girl has in areas other than her eyes, the cuter she is.

Oh shit nigga.

She's a woman, she has four.

jesus fucking christ

how many of those costumes have penises under the skirt?

Answer: all of them

It represents closed lips

It makes the line be perceived as even thinner on top of simulating the reflectivity of lips


now why are her ears so much under her eyes?

Just like 2d

None of them

I have high faith in people.

It's a way to make facial features more cute/mild, by reducing line thickness, or if the lines are already thin, omitting them entirely.

Probably there are some actual girls behind those costumes. Even one of them has a male mask under the anime mask to hide her girly face.

at least one
