I agree....I actually did see that too but just chose one....so said angry.. because I thought the eyebrows were more telling. But now I revise my opinion taking the whole face into consideration........psycho killer evil maybe? As in he's about to attack and kill someone (hence the eyebrows) but he's kind of proud or excited about it (hence the mouth).

Edit: OP will you please give us context for this image......... if there is any? Is this from a movie or show or comic? What is the character doing before, during, after this image?


Bingo. She* is about to kill someone.

I watch anime as well and I am a fan of Inuyasha. He always has his eyebrows down like that with the smirk.

The way I take it with him is that he is a very angry character inside but I seem see that expression when one is cocky or arrogant.

I think determination...like you're in a battle where you're outclassed, but you won't give up because you know there's a chance you could still pull out a win.

And what Wobbuffet said: determination. That's what I thought- determined and looking forward to the challenge. Like how I feel about doing a test I know I'm going to get an A on and everyone else is going to fail.

People on the spectrum are more likely to misjudge faces as negative reactions. I've read this in a study somewhere and also personally noticed it.

He looks kind of sadistic, like a crazed psycho-killer. Either evil or out for vengeance. It's a kind of simplistic drawing though so it's a little ambiguous.

I feel what it is, but I can't describe what it is. That wording may seem a little strange, but meh.

Hmm, this guy might be plotting against his enemies because his expression reminds me of the saying "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Without context, man it could mean anything. 8O
and its anime...I've noticed they use the same facial expressions for any number of things, its just the style.

That's interesting..... I do that when I misinterpret facial expressions .............I think people are annoyed or angry with me when really they are stressed out or bored or something else. I'm right a lot of the time though........people are annoyed with me often.....so it's not a bad default.
