Depends on the character, species, setting, etc. No design choice exists in a vacuum. The characters in BNA have a wide variety of face shapes, although with Michiru, I'm going to disagree with >>5106855 and say it's more about keeping the main character cute and relatable. Long muzzles, like other long, narrow features, don't reflect the sort of kawaii youth that's typical of this type of anime MC.

You see it reflected in the rest of the series, too. Characters like Shirou and Nazuna (in her wolf form) have long muzzles, narrow eyes, and sharp angles, because long features are anime shorthand for cool, elegant, and mature. Nina's a young, naive, playful girl, so her muzzle's short and cute, and she has a taller, more neotenous forehead with bigger eyes. And so on.
