For animated characters, the eyes are the windows to the
Some common eye symbols:
Line 37:
* ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'': In one episode, Ranpha's eyes turn into male units upon first meeting a male android.
** A ''[[Naked on Arrival|nude]]'' male android.
* Lilie from ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' often gets [[media:
* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', extremely high levels of [[Hot-Blooded|blood heat]] are indicated by spirals in the characters' pupils. Not at all related with confusion, but spirals show up as a symbol of <s>determination many times throughout the series</s> how [[Everything's Better with Spinning]].
** One fairly unique example of this trope occurs late in the series, when Kittan's eyes momentarily transform into stars upon seeing the giant stars on Yoko's latest outfit. [[Male Gaze|Guess where they are.]]
** Simon demonstrates the "insanity/rage"
** The "Spiral eyes" are, like a significant portion of Gurren Lagann, a reference to Getter Robo, where one of the signs of a human being supercharged by Getter Rays was their irises becoming spirals.
* ''[[One Piece]]'': Nami's eyes occasionally change to the symbol for [[Global Currency|Beri]] when there's a potential profit to be made, Sanji's [[Peek-a-Bangs|eye]]<s>s</s> change to hearts whenever he's swooning over one of the girls, and in one chapter Luffy's eyes changed to takoyaki to show just how much he craved the food.
Line 47:
* One panel of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' featured Keroro with a yen symbol in one eye and an American dollar sign in the other. Giroro's eyes sometimes go up in ''actual flames''.
** In one episode of the anime, Momoka's eyes have little flames in them as she thinks of her determination to get close to Fuyuki on an upcoming trip, which then turn to little rainclouds when he mentions it might rain.
** On the merchandise side, a sticker book of
* All the humanoid aliens in ''[[Space Pirate Mito]]'' have starbursts for pupils. Aoi, who is half-alien, half-human, has one normal pupil and one starburst.
* Similar to the comic example below, Mako from ''[[Nerima Daikon Brothers]]'' has heart-shaped reflections in her sunglasses.
Line 77:
** Not get daggers IN them mind, [[Nightmare Fuel|they actually extend from his skull and get pointy]].
** They also display spirals, starbursts, etc. in brilliant [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red and]] [[Eyes of Gold|yellow]]. Shudder.
* The audio commentary to Disney's ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]'' notes that Gaston has skulls visible in his eyes as the camera zooms in on his face while he's [[Disney Villain Death|falling to his death]]. (It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it
* In ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]'', Darla Dimple is so infuriated at the animals trying to get attention that her eyes fill with fire and (cat) Skull and Crossbones at the same time.
** Earlier, when Danny's offered the chance to be in a film with the above-mentioned Dimple, he gets stars in his eyes ([[Accidental Pun|pun not intended]]).
Line 136:
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' has a series of glasses accessories that have this effect on your avatar. The track-invading [[Yaoi Fangirl]] from the '08 Olympics had a pair with swirlies, if I remember correctly.
** An equally absurd example comes from the later levels of ''[[Gaia Online|zOMG!]]'' There your character is, at the bottom of the ocean looking for the [[Big Bad]]'s lair, when you notice a heap of apparent rocks has an ''eye'' in it. An eye bigger than your avatar. And it ''blinks''. And every time it blinks, ''its pupil changes shape''. And nobody on either the zOMG! forum or the GCD knows what it is, aside from ''weird''.
** The Hidden Ace evolving item has four pairs of eyes with pupils shaped after card
* In ''[[Chu Lip]]'', the protagonist gets X's in his eyes whenever he gets hurt...and with [[Everything Trying to Kill You]], this is quite often.
* In ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', Conker gets dollar signs in his eyes whenever he gets one of the cash prizes.
