Why do characters in anime and manga tend to have long bangs or fringes that (can) cover their eyes?


In real life, if your bangs are so long as to cover your eyes, then you would
find it difficult to see clearly whatever is in front of you. However, in
anime and manga, the characters often have long bangs that (can) cover their
eyes. Why do they use this kind of design?

The following are some examples.

One thing anime characters will typically have are exaggerated characteristics
which I'm sure we've all noticed. The animator does this to focus on their
personalities rather than making them look realistic. Like when you see a
person with long unkept hair, they're typically unpredictable/wild, or bangs
that cover their entire face, they're typically shy or hiding something.
