--So, I was watching Gundam and comparisons between some characters came to my mind--
This one is about Code Geass.

( Where the Britannia brothers feel a bit like the Zabis and useless characters are the same everywhere-- )

It's interesting how much smoother and more stylized anime art styles have gotten over the last what, thirty years, right? I mean, looking at these caps, the Code Geass ones are obviously pretty, but don't the Gundam characters seem more realistic, in a way? Their faces are curvier and the eyes are smaller, with less stylized eyelashes. But then on the other hand it looks like shading has gotten more complex.

I just think it's really interesting. XD

Well, it was the time when Japanese animation "flirted" with Western animation (see "Disney"). They were still working on developing their own style :3

What was really "different" with Japanese animation is that the "style" of the animation was totally different from the Western stuff-- They showed things at weird angles, used some special effects and point of views that were totally different from the "static" style of so-called "cartoons".
When anime was introduced on Westerner TV it was a real shock because of this :3 ! At the time nobody cared about the big eyes or the big boobs and everyone was mesmerized by the movements and the rendering of explosions XD --And the stories was TOTALLY AWESOME.
