Necks in anime are usually "proportional to the overall body":[/media_assets/13418660] of the character, or sometimes unusually smaller. This is especially true for female characters, probably because thick necks are considered a more masculine trait that older and more [[muscular]] men have. 

Sometimes thick necks are also used for comedic purposes, like with [[Tanigaki genjirou]] from [[Golden Kamuy]].
Or simply as a character design choice. This is especially common in [[One piece]].
