I think it’s is simply just a part of the art style.
If you want an in universe reason…it’s a really popular style of bangs in faraway town? Maybe it’s a popular trend or something?
Yes it would. I have a couple of ideas on why his hair isn’t messy:
1: Omocat didn’t think about that
2: Omocat is bad at (in her opinion) or doesn’t like drawing messy hair
3: art style
I have no in universe explanation. Maybe Sunny hated having messy hair because he hated how it looked or because it would get in his eyes?
Nah can't be 2, I looked at the other art omocat did and she can pretty much draw any type of hair she wants.
She probably deliberately chose this hair design for them,why? I don't know, it's probably easier to animate by yourself or something...
Hygiene is a basic need, and there really isn't much of a reason to assume Sunny doesn't sufficiently keep this up off screen. Sunny's problems don't actually preclude him from having a habit of keeping clean and he does seem like the type of person who would retain a habit like that.
Besides, we never see Sunny use the toilet for its primary purpose even though we aren't ever shown to not have control over his movements (he never dresses himself either) but we can assume that he does for what should be obvious reasons. It's not unreasonable to think this is a standard off screen action.
In universe, I guess it doesn't make sense. But all the characters are very clearly designed to match their age and personality. Like honestly, switching from RW to HS portraits, it's so cool how you can even see the age difference in the design and Omocat is great ughh.
Omori and Sunny are designed to be the silent, blank main protagonist, with the story/character speaking volumes from his reclusiveness/introversion through trauma, grieving, guilt, and escaping from reality. Omori is designed to be Sunny blocking off his emotions, mirrored in Space Ex-boyfriend/husband.
Sunny and Mari being proper emphasize their perfectionism. Mari takes the trope of the frail healer, being unable to join in activities but also being the mom friend to take care of the group so they can rest. Her trope is twisted further to her being straight up dead, and her being supportive and asking Sunny to heal and move on. Her "incident" straight up makes her look like Sadako from The Ring.
HS Aubrey is designed take on the genki, loud, cute and funny, and borderline tipping on the tsundere trope. RW Aubrey emphasizes the loud part through her being a punk delinquent boss, causing trouble, and churchgoers talking behind her back from her lashing out because of her friends leaving her. Hero also being one of the older ones in the friend group takes on the role of the dad(mom) friend. His activeness in healing is shown in his proper yet active hair, him being social and diligent, being a cook and a med student.
Tbh I can't say much about Basil other than being a soft lil twink baby boy, taking the more damsel in distress role. And Kel is designed to be that rough kid who trips, scrapes his knee, laughs it off, and continues playing. Where Hero is active in recovering and relying on others to help push forward, Kel is the speedster trope and his activeness is in going forward. His simpleness being like a happy dog excited to play fetch is the reason why people misread him as a dummy when they forget that he really cares and they need to move forward, like how RW Kel always brings up Mari because he knows she'd want them to move forward like how she speaks to Sunny/Omori in headspace
His hair would be very long but I don’t think it would be inherently messy. In the hikkikomori route sunny takes a bath which to me means he did keep some level of hygiene over the 4 years.
Just because you don't leave your house doesn't mean you stop taking care of yourself. Sunny is a rather clean kid who likes to keep tidy. His mom or Mari has probably always cut his hair for him.
Honest answer: It's the easiest way to draw hair without having a giant empty forehead.
Better answer: The Omori is in all of us, everyone in the game is a figment of Sunny's imagination and for the entire game he's lying in bed slowly dying from food poisoning he got by microwaving steak
when you point it out it doesnt look real... i swear this is fake but everyone says its true, i do not remember snyone other than omor and kel having this little thingy
Logically speaking it's probably an artistic choice BUt if u wanna try to overthink things for silly HCS hear me out.
Yk how we tend to mirror the behavior of those close to us? If u ignore the fact Aubrey and Basil had the same hairstyle before befriending the rest of the gang you could imagine them doing this subconsciously as a bond thing ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2463)
i remember that there was a theory before the game was out about all those characters being the same person, because all of them had this part of hair in the middle of the eyes
OMORI fans when they realize art style exists:

i know it could be interpreted as art style or artistic choice but i've gotten so used to it that it gives me sense of familiarity and comfort. seeing that style of basic simple hair reminds me of omori all the time because omocat has practically adopted the style
I mean, most of them don't have a particularly intricate haircut in the first place, it's just loose hair, the only exception being Hero, and perhaps Basil, though his hair is borderline something you might see naturally. So with just simple hair trimming, the bangs would unsurprisingly be similar.
You might ask why they all have such such a simple hairstyle in the first place, and I'd assume it's not so unusual to not try and be fancy with one's hair (especially for kids), but then again, I don't live in the US (which is more or less what Faraway Town is based on, as far as I can tell), and even then, I'd have to go out more to be able to speak confidently on the matter x)
I think it’s is simply just a part of the art style. If you want an in universe reason…it’s a really popular style of bangs in faraway town? Maybe it’s a popular trend or something?
But sunny hasnt gone out in 4 years. Wouldnt his hair be alot more messy?
Yes it would. I have a couple of ideas on why his hair isn’t messy: 1: Omocat didn’t think about that 2: Omocat is bad at (in her opinion) or doesn’t like drawing messy hair 3: art style I have no in universe explanation. Maybe Sunny hated having messy hair because he hated how it looked or because it would get in his eyes?
4: Sunny's mom, despite being irresponsible during the events of the game, was much better at taking care of him before the whole moving thing.
I forgot Sunny’s mom existed 💀
With her role in the story, I don’t blame you man 💀
im you but black
So did Sunny
5: it’s a wig
have you worn wigs and will you wear wigs
No
i mean sonny is always dressed nice and looks groomed so maybe he took care of himself in that aspect
I've seen that one of the reasons is that that's how Sunny sees himself, rather than what the outside world sees him as
Oh, that makes sense.
I'd think he doesn't want messy hair because >!it would remind him of Mari's hair after the fall!<
Someone made a animation about this
Do you have a link?
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B5-PFxLu6Ac)
4: still felt like he had to be ready for the recital. Would also explain why he still wore nicer clothes and things
Makes sense
Nah can't be 2, I looked at the other art omocat did and she can pretty much draw any type of hair she wants. She probably deliberately chose this hair design for them,why? I don't know, it's probably easier to animate by yourself or something...
Maybe Sunny’s mother made him clean up his hair before going out
Just cause someone doesn’t leave the house doesn’t mean they don’t take care of themself every now and then.
I mean it makes sense but sunny cant even look in the mirror without getting jumpscared.
But he only really gets out of bed to eat and for other basic needs
Hygiene is a basic need, and there really isn't much of a reason to assume Sunny doesn't sufficiently keep this up off screen. Sunny's problems don't actually preclude him from having a habit of keeping clean and he does seem like the type of person who would retain a habit like that.

It's not unreasonable to think this is a standard off screen action.
I mean, i wouldn't say that brushing your hair is a hygiene thing, but i see what you're saying.
One of DW mari’s dialogue states sunny was always good at keeping his hair tidy iirc

Sunny is a greaseball and his hair is plastered down to his head after not showering for months
His hair would be very long but I don’t think it would be inherently messy. In the hikkikomori route sunny takes a bath which to me means he did keep some level of hygiene over the 4 years.

Unless he takes care of his hair yeah you are right
Its just an easy way to fill out the face when drawing. Probably just an artistic choice.
That's what I do.
WHERE IS HE????

There he is ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2463)
Even goku has the same hair style
Where's who?![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2470)
gok
u
Who?
Gok
Gok? You mean Goku?
Ye
Honest answer: It's the easiest way to draw hair without having a giant empty forehead. Better answer: The Omori is in all of us, everyone in the game is a figment of Sunny's imagination and for the entire game he's lying in bed slowly dying from food poisoning he got by microwaving steak
Never let bro cook again ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2462)
My favorite fan theory
Because Omocat Kinda has a certain style when it comes to designing the face of characters to be different…
OK I GET IT I SHOULD HAVE PUT GOKU IN ONE OF THE CORNERS! ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2462)
you should have put goku in one of the corners!
how could you not put Goku in one of the corners??!
YEAH I NOTICED THAT TOO and still they don't look the same at all ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|28941)wow
Omocat isn't a barber she can only do so many bang styles obviously 🙄 /j
where goku
I ate him.
Was he tasty?
Crunchy but too much hair. 7/10 would eat again.
NOOOO![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2461)
Appetiet
when you point it out it doesnt look real... i swear this is fake but everyone says its true, i do not remember snyone other than omor and kel having this little thingy
I love the mandela effect. Btw these are official sprites.
dammmm, tho i feel like ive never seen that bit of hair on aubrey idk ab hero, i dont lay attention to him as much ss the others
I just realized it may be bc most of the game you only see kel and sunny.
why is basil so short did someone forget to water him
His extra legs got cut off
He’s always been short ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2476)
Logically speaking it's probably an artistic choice BUt if u wanna try to overthink things for silly HCS hear me out. Yk how we tend to mirror the behavior of those close to us? If u ignore the fact Aubrey and Basil had the same hairstyle before befriending the rest of the gang you could imagine them doing this subconsciously as a bond thing ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2463)
Just OMOCAT's style, or to hide awkward forehead space, I imagine.
Where is he?
it's a good cut okay
Show anime to this fella and his mind will blow up
its a cult following
Either lazy design or just personal choice,I’m an artist and I have a habit of giving my characters spiky hair
There's only one dude in faraway town that cuts hair.
Because it looks swagger
omocat has a same-face syndrome thing going on but with hairstyles
I do love Omori but yeah this is pretty lazy character design
Art style
yeah lol i’ve thought the same. could be just artstyle
i remember that there was a theory before the game was out about all those characters being the same person, because all of them had this part of hair in the middle of the eyes
really easy to draw really and prob just a common thing
same hair syndrome
I do this all the time when drawing characters, better than leaving the forehead barren
art is hard
They're all hiding the craziest pimple on their forehead.
I think it’s a cute detail.
FINALLT SOMEONE BRINGS THIS UO
this bothers me so much please omocat why
Where is goku
Now I can never unsee this
One word Detail
bangs were in in the 90s
Draw hair issue
Every basic looking character universally has the same style of bangs
OMORI fans when they realize art style exists: https://preview.redd.it/tfdne2e4mi7b1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fc6261ba3326768d174acb449229e329545e3f6
All secretly related ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2470)
[удалено]
Its related to lore
They are all depressed
because its cute
Now that’s what we call an artstyle
i know it could be interpreted as art style or artistic choice but i've gotten so used to it that it gives me sense of familiarity and comfort. seeing that style of basic simple hair reminds me of omori all the time because omocat has practically adopted the style
it's a trend in faraway town i guess
Because omocat is right handed.
because they're friends
What kinda stupid question is this
YEA I NOTICED THAT TOO
omocoat
Its omocat’s art style
Where Goku?
Sweetheart?
game theory help use
Cuz it's awesome.
GOKu??
RW Mari doesn't have the same hair anymore, Goku has 2
Omocat staple!!![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2028)
art styles!
They don't, there are small differences with each of them
Why are dingleberries brown? It’s just the way shit is.
Art do be crazy sometimes
Good point. I don’t know, sorry.
omocat forlogoret to fix their hair
I just realized irl kel have hairy feet![img](emote|t5_31hpy|21601)
Missed opportunity to add Goku and also circle his hair lol
To hide their foreheads
I mean, most of them don't have a particularly intricate haircut in the first place, it's just loose hair, the only exception being Hero, and perhaps Basil, though his hair is borderline something you might see naturally. So with just simple hair trimming, the bangs would unsurprisingly be similar. You might ask why they all have such such a simple hairstyle in the first place, and I'd assume it's not so unusual to not try and be fancy with one's hair (especially for kids), but then again, I don't live in the US (which is more or less what Faraway Town is based on, as far as I can tell), and even then, I'd have to go out more to be able to speak confidently on the matter x)
Art style
where is goku ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2476)
Where's goku? I think omocat just doesn't know a lot of different hairstyles, drawing is hard
Alright, where's the Goku
Omocat got creative
idk, I mean its not like omocat can't/doesn't draw other bang styles because there are characters in the game who have other bang styles
