Is there a term for those characters in anime who always have their eyes half closed?

I don't mean completely closed, like brock from pokemon, but that sort of glazed over, half open, lazy, bored look that ONE character in every anime always seems to have?

tareme? if you're talking about eyes like squidward, that particular half-open look isn't actually that common in anime, and tsurime can also pull it off

I dont mean that the illustration is lazy, I mean that it makes the character look lazy.

I am 4 karma short of being able to post a goddamn example

They look like squidward or the dwarf named "sleepey"

Please help yall, I'm leaving for the airport shortly, and I'm worried about making a social faux pas

That is the closest I think I've gotten. So now I can figure out how to say "I hate characters with tareme eyes" and I think I'll be ready for my trip. Thanks!

I dont watch a ton of anime, so I guess I don't know how common it is, but it seems like its in everyone I've seen lately.

it's basically a soft moe look, usually more passive characters will have those kinds of eyes and they're sometimes contrasted with tsurime characters (Kagami and Tsukasa in Lucky Star, Kyou and Ryou in Clannad)

a lot of series have tareme eyes as the default though for basically all female characters. like Lucky Star, Kanon, Shuffle, or any moeshit

I found out that I really just can't wrap my head around the Japanese language at all. I wasn't really going around talking to otakus or anything, so I didn't specifically ask anyone who would have actually known. The concierge though it was funny though.

I think tareme, jitome, and hamoku are all minor variations of the same thing I am talking about.
