This style often features vibrant colors, exaggerated facial expressions, and unique character designs, which can include large eyes and distinctive hairstyles. In addition to visual elements, "anime-inspired" works may incorporate narrative techniques typical of anime, such as complex character development, emotional storytelling, and fantastical settings. This influence can be seen in various media, including video games, comics, and Western animation, appealing to fans of both traditional and modern storytelling.
