Why there aren't that many blindfold scenes in animation

[SeanRulez54]

I finally understand why there aren't that many blindfold scenes in cartoons and anime. The eyes are the most expressive in an animated program. If they're covered, we can't tell what the character's emotion is. That's why in DiD scenes, they favor gags more than blindfolds so that the eyes are more present when the mouth is covered, so it's to show off emotion.

And even when a blindfold is used, it's used briefly for a surprise, training, games, being led to a secret location, or other things. So many cartoons and anime either use blindfolds every so often, only use them once, or not at all.

And there are many cartoons, anime, and animated movies who don't use blindfolds. But there are many cartoons that use blindfolds every so often: like Trollstopia, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, The Simpsons. So I hope future animated programs will be like the ones listed above, and give me tons of blindfold scenes. But not too many. Like maybe 5 or 6.

Your analysis makes sense. Personally, I love seeing the gagged damsel's eyes emoting, so I really don't like blindfolds. I am okay with it being sparse, but I understand you might disagree.

Nah it's fine. I too enjoy gagged damsels as well.

I think the opposite. When i check series and comics i often find blindfolds more than i find gags, yes i admit the numbers is low compared to tie ups but i stil find them more than gags.

Thanks. I tried getting the episode to work, but it wouldn’t play. Do you have an alternative site?

I think it’s a matter of opinion. I too think eyes are expressive. I love gags but hate blindfolds because if both the mouth and eyes are covered, all that’s left is the nose which is the least expressive. However, I would argue that females who wear lipstick are less likely to be gagged in modern animation. Wouldn’t it be easier to not animate the lips at all by covering them?
