@lucifargundam just any cartoon. I suppose I see it in anime a lot. a character is expounding on something with their eyes closed then they open them for emphasis or to cast a disparaging gaze at the token troublemaker

@2ck
Ah I know what you're talking about I think. I'm pretty sure that's for choreographic emphasis, yeah. Anime tends to over-exaggerate many things outside of themes and topics of discussion.
