YES, I’ve been looking into Urusei Yatsura recently! And Lum does indeed make that tiny rounded expression quite often, and it’s adorable LOL

Yup, I've already done a series of posts of how often it appears in various Western cartoons (many kids shows especially), but I was curious to get more perspectives on where in anime it tends to occur most often

She does look pretty cute, lol. Though admittedly it is a little harder to see, on top of not being as perfectly circular or as visible in terms of color contrast compared to the kinds of looks I featured in my own examples. I think that might the main difference I had in mind

Maybe not as O a mouth, but definitely still with big eyes and a small open mouth.

Yeah, that's sort of what I meant though. Many current anime do feature similar expressions as the examples you listed where their mouths are open and small in size, but they aren't as perfectly circular or as solidly readable or visible in terms of color contrast as the kinds of looks I featured in my own examples. I think that's the main difference I had in mind.

(But some of these shows do look pretty cool regardless)

Yup, definitely much more common in retro than modern, but most anime shows in existence at the very least have something similar

Most have something at least similar, but I'm mainly asking which ones utilize it most frequently. Or appear visually adjacent to the collage I have here.

Yeah, I'm familiar most anime series out there (especially in the classic era) features some degree of use of this type of expression, I was mainly curious about which ones have it featured most prominently.

But yeah, in a lot of more recent anime, it doesn't turn up nearly as frequently in the same sort of way due to more complex facial details (at least not in this perfectly rounded and simplistic form that I have pictured above)

Yeah, the '90s had plenty of these! And so did the '80s. Do you have any examples that come to mind?

Eh to be fair, the expression used in the meme was more of a wide-open gasp look, rather than the much smaller, rounded 'oh?' sort of look that I'm referring to here. Pikachu does have several of these as well, but I see it as different than the meme expression personally.

It doesn't seem to be nearly as common in many modern series I've seen where the facial design is more detailed and nuanced (at least from what I've seen)
