Present-Day Anime Animation

[miyabi95_]

I do have an appreciation for the expressions used in Rumiko Takahashi's work (Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 primarily). Although most anime during the 80's tried to be really dark and edgy, there were still a few comedies that somehow appealed to a large audience. I'd probably say it's due to the silly and over-the-top visuals and expressions. Even Dragon Ball (and Z) utilized it just right. Toriyama's style is really simple, but I still love his classic slapstick-like expressions.
