>he underside of the chin is right there?
It's not. While I'm not autistic, I do have an autistic obsession with detail, and one of the things I always struggled with when learning to draw animu shit was figuring out how the chin was supposed to look when drawn from a lower angle, and how it connects to the neck/throat, because so many animu artists ignore it or just flat out don't know how to draw it. In the same vein, a lot of animu artists rely on side-mouth, despite the fact that it looks horrid, and serves as no shortcut if you know how to draw a proper mouth from the side. It's just a flaw that somehow turned into an excuse for style.
If you look at 3D models of anime characters, some Japs have made a career out of cheating a 2D look out of a 3D model, by making everything move independent of reality, which speaks volumes about how some anime styles just make no sense.
As an aside, don't take my criticism as a personal attack. It's nice to have a civil discussion in this shithole for once.
