Sterling Griffin of Interactive Imagination explored the differences between Japanese and American animation styles through the production of the Saturday morning cartoon Magi-Nation. The biggest variation is in character depiction, as Japanese animators tend to create characters with large eyes and smaller features, emphasizing color and details, while American animation uses realistic proportions or exaggerated features. Additionally, anime scenes sometimes remain static with just mouth movement during dialogue, whereas American art gives more time to context and character actions through frame-by-frame movement.
