The eyes of a character in a Japanese anime are less of an accurate representation and more of an abstraction of a real human eye. The animators usually elongate the iris and pupil of an eye to more of an oval shape rather than a circle. The highlights and reflections seen on the eyes surface are usually emphasized and enlarged. The eyelids and eyelashes are reduced to bold, angled lines that frames and holds everything together. Also, a character is usually drawn with their eyes taking up at least half of their face, which in turn abstracts the over all representation of a human face. Even with all this abstraction, the viewer is still given enough information and details to recognize this as a human eye.
