3-Rings added the "blink" animation to the knights eyes. So I was wondering, why not include other animation facial features to the eyes as well?
For example when you type in "/happy" Not only the description pops up, "[Insert name here] is feeling very happy." But also show a " ^_^ " expression in their eyes.

Or better yet, you can set what type of expression that you want your Spiral Knight to have. For example "/expression happy" = " ^_^ " or "/expression mad = " [shows mad eyes] " or "/expression sigh" = " -_- " or "/expression dizzy" = " @_@ " or "/expression dope" = " >_< " "/expression defult" = " [regular open eyed spiral knight expression] " ...the list could go on!

You know what I mean? Here are anime expressions that 3-Rings could add as facial eye expressions to the knights: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/080/9/8/Facial_expression_condens... You don't need mouth expressions, just eye expressions!

I think it would be pretty cool, because it defines a first impression of what type of player he or she is or what they are feeling at that moment. I mean you got the "blinking" eyes expression so why not "facial eye" expressions as well? Anime STYLE! Because it makes more sense! They are chibi anime btw believe it or not.

The most i can see is eyes

The most i can see is eyes getting bigger, smaller, and adjusting accordingly to human emotions, but then again we're robots.

We don't need ^^ to look happy. I mean do your eyes do that when you're happy? Mine sure don't.

Robots? No no, the Spiral

Robots? No no, the Spiral Knights are not robots. They are Bionic beings! :3 If they were robots then they would have gears, circuits, things like that.

Plus, I think it would be a nice touch, because this game is so western anime inspired! So anime inspired that you see in deviant art, it has nothing but anime spiral knights! Plus the idea came to me, because in deviant art, many people put in eye expressions for their knight. Then I wonder, hey! How come it is not in the game?
For me personally, I think it would be a neat feature to mess around with friends. If you don't like it, then don't use the expressions. Simple! Lol! Don't be all defensive about it! People were defensive when someone suggested about adding achievements. Just like the achievement suggestion, the expression suggestion doesn't ruin the game, it just adds a charming touch to the game. :)

" They are Bionic

" They are Bionic beings!"
TAAAKUUUAAAHHH!!! NOOOOOO!!!
Mental high five if you got that, any of you younger players.
And I don't really think this is anime. More toon, but you did say "western" before anime, so you could mean what I mean.
I'd love some expressions though, like the guys on the front page of lockdown.

on that note, why not allow

on that note, why not allow us to change the default eye shape of the characters?

You know, it would give them personality, and even make the "gender" we imagine the character to be slightly more visible

Also make custom eye colors separated from armor/name

It would be cool if the eyes

It would be cool if the eyes at least changed shape. The default Spiral Knight eye is basically round,

but in all of the cool artwork the eyes have more expression.
