The eyes of characters in anime always disappear when they're upset or when
they're going to get serious.

Is there a name for when a characters eyes disappear like that?

Is there a name for when characters eyes are hidden from the shot when emotional?


I have never known this by a specific name, but the closest you may come to is
just ['hidden eyes'](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenEyes).

This is usually used to describe someone who is trying to hide their face
because they're upset, hurt, not drawing attention to themselves etc. Other
terms might be used for characters whose normal hairstyle obscures their eyes,
regardless of the situation.
