A term commonly used to describe really generic anime with shiny hair and eyes. Usually a digital drawing in which the artist overuses the dodge tool (a tool in Adobe Photoshop that brightens colors). The term started springing up with the arrival of Amuria on deviantart.com, whose style is known for being overly shiny.
"Hey, like my Sailor Moon drawing? I wanted to make her reeeeally pretty, so I used the dodge tool to make lots of sparkles and give her shiny eyes."
"Uh, a little too shiny desu for me. It's hurting my eyes. Ease up on the dodge tool next time."
