Vlad is right here. Correct edge flow is supposedly refering to the muscle beneath the skin. If this model i required for animation it will require edge loops regardless. But it will not make the face different, it will make it correct. Have a look at your own face and pull a few faces and if you can, watch how your skin stretches in arcs around the contours of your face.

Agreed that not all characters have the same edge flow but however all faces have the same muscle groups. So if the muscles are formed in this manner you would therefore require edge loops.

The topic of edge loops is a long debated subject on a certain sites, but above all it remains the unwritten rule for correct anatomy.
