Why do characters in Japanese animation always have huge eyes? What's the meaning of this?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) December 15th, 2009

Is it just an art style, or is it meant to use the eyes as emotional vessels? I never quite understood why, in most anime, everyone always has huge eyes. I mean when they die, the eye sockets in the skulls must be humongous, isn’t that kinda freaky?
