In Anime when animating the mouth from the front, never animate or move the Jaw, only animate the mouth, eyes and maybe the eyebrows for expression.

When animating the eyes blinking, squinting, widening, or winking the top eyelid always move and the bottom eyelid is still or in standard position.

Animating the mouth from the side or profile, the lower Jaw and the bottom lip are animated while the upper lip and Jaw are unanimated in standard form.
