    Yeah, my ideal anime male has much narrower eyes than the girls. I was just browsing Google image search for ‘3D anime boy model’ and there was a nice ‘gundam’ style head I kind of liked on turboquid.  

    True . If you look most of the males with the big eye look are aimed at young adults and kids.  You still need the big eye look to some degree for the girls because truthfully it is the eyes that define the character when you really think about it.  It isn't really the frowns and smiles that tell you what she is thinking but the emotion of the eyes . And they show up much clearer on larger eyes.

    Yeah. I acquired a drawing course focused on 'manga/anime style' and it almost exclusively focused on how to draw the eyes, because they're that important. I suppose part of the problem for 3d and anime is that (according to this course) eyes in anime are symbolic representations of emotions, not actual physical eyes. So they don't follow perspective rules and so on.

    I have been watching the Speed Racer cartoons recently and as the only manga I've ever seen the details on the characters do increase as the characters heads get zoomed in on.

    That may be very true but it is the eyes that tell the story.  The style may be changing with the times but  that rule about the eyes dreamfarmer is talking about still holds true. Trying to think of a good example that is better than Speed Racer.
