History Main / BeadyEyedLoser

* Simon of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' was considered gross and weird by the girls of his village, though that's probably more to do with the amount of time he spends digging. The Black Siblings also considered him completely unremarkable, especially in comparison with Kamina, his big brother figure and hero (who, to be fair, was a HotBlooded WalkingShirtlessScene). Paralleling his growing confidence as he matures into a man, his eyes becomes less beady throughout the story, and by the end, resemble Kamina's.

* Ataru of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' is one of the unluckiest and perverted characters in the Rumiko Takahashi universe...He's also the most beady-eyed.

* Masao from ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'' is sort of an unusual case, in that he lives in a CastOfSnowflakes and ''is'' [[{{Gonk}} honestly meant to he ugly]], tending toward UglyCute at best.
* The Producer from ''Manga/TheIdolmaster2TheWorldIsAllOne'' begins as just another loser office worker and, in a cast full of young star eyed pop idols, is the only one with beady eyes. Later on, a pair of glasses given to him by his idol wards attempt to rectify this paralleling his clean break with his old life.

To summarize, these type of eyes are a visual cue that the character is a loser or outcast, and obviously they'd be considered unattractive by their peers. If this character is a main character or even given some time in the spotlight, their eyes will be less beady during serious moments or if they show personal growth.

Compare and Contrast with FaceOfAThug, since they too have beady eyes, though those elicit a different reaction.

* ''Aitsu no Dahonmei'''s Yoshida is a simian, pint-sized idiot with a disfiguring scar, whom his female classmates frequently beat up for inexplicably monopolising the attention of the most popular boy in school, Satou, a typical doe-eyed {{Bishonen}}.

* This is the case for Haru in the anime taken from "Manga/TonariNoKaibutsuKun" (My Little Monster). The use is inconsistent, as once he starts smiling at all the girls they start to really like him, even though he remains drawn beady-eyed. Also, the beady-eyed-ness is in-universe, as Mi-chan constantly wears sunglasses to prevent his beady eyes from scaring away his clientale.

* Kai Shiden of ''MobileSuitGundam'' is a LovableCoward who chases skirt and [[DeadpanSnarker snarks]] on the relatively inexperienced commander [[TheCaptain Bright Noah]]. In a subversion of the usual formula, he retains his beady eyes even when he [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] into a combination AdventurerArchaeologist-IntrepidReporter in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''.

* Yuuji from ''TonaGura''. It's parodied in that when he tries to look chivalrous, his eyes adapt the "regular anime" style.

* Tsuna of ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' starts the series as a stereotypical loser complete with the beady eyes to match. As the story progresses, he not only experiences personal growth ([[ShounenUpgrade and many power upgrades]]), but somehow goes from beady-eyed to moe-moe. Though that's probably more to do with art evolution, as everyone in the story gets more and more pretty.
