Just to toss in my two Ą, about anime styles.
What most people refer to as anime style, big eyes small mouth, is equivalent to the Hanna Barbara Style on this side of the ocean.
Its quick, easy and cheap to produce but is nowhere near immerse for the viewer.
The opposite are some of the artistic works from Studio Ghibli, especially Miyazaki's works.
There is also the Shoujo style that is usually very floral but is differentiated by elongated limbs, wistful looks and enough angst to drown a barrel full of twilight fans [let us never mention it again]
Then there is Josei that is more realistic in proportions and outlook and what our esteemed artist was slowly gravitating towards.
I am worried that this drastic change may herald a descent into the 4koma style that relies on very basic pratfall type situations, super simplified art style and the text to convey any coherence to what is happening in the drawings.
Mind you I do like me some Friday 4koma which breaks the stereotype
