| Okay, i really want to watch animes with good character designs, be it old or new, any genre as long as it's not ecchi, yuri, yaoi, shonen-ai, shoujou-ai, hentai or anything along those lines. Please look at my animelist to know what not to recommend :D Thanks in advance guys! :D *oh and, i want anime that doesn't take too much space from my hard disk so about 13-30 episodes would be fine and, animes that finished airing after year 2000 would also be fine :D thanks! |

 |
| For anime: Kara no Kyoukai Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ Texhnolyze For manga: Claymore Berserk |
| Anime: - Baccano! - Ergo Proxy (although, the art quality somewhat goes down closer to the end) - Fate/Stay Night - Haibane Renmei - Natsume Yuujinchou - Seirei no Moribito Manga: - Alichino - Clover (possibly the most artistic manga I've seen in terms of design, page layout, etc.) - Kuroshitsuji (I see you've already watched the anime, but the manga has a different overarching plot and is a lot darker) - D.Gray-man |
Aeterna said: Manga: - D.Gray-man What? D.Gray-man? Are we talking about the same manga? Sure when Hoshino sensei is not bored she can draw some nice looking characters but half of the time the thing is a mess. Especially the fight scenes are impossible to understand. Lot's of chapters it's difficult to understand the plot perfectly just because the art was a mess. That's not something to suggest for such a request. |

Lot's of chapters it's difficult to understand the plot perfectly just because the art was a mess. That's not something to suggest for such a request. To be honest, I wavered on suggesting DGM simply because the battle scenes are difficult to decipher. Otherwise, I find the designs and level of detail are much more creative and intensive than other shounen series such as, say, Naruto. Or perhaps it's just a matter of personal taste? I, for one, am not a big fan of Claymore's art - the proportions of the human characteristics are, more often than not, off, although I will admit that there is a high level of detail in Claymore's art that is lacking in other series. |
| Seconding KnK (Although I found it to drop severely in animation quality from the first to the fifth.), GitS (especially SaC, probably the best animation in any TV series I've seen), Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Haibane Renmei, and Claymore and Berserk for manga. I'd also recommend Aria Baccano! Cowboy Bebop Cowboy Bebop - Knockin' on Heaven's Door Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children Gankutsuou (At least it's unusual) Hellsing Ultimate Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade Karas Last Exile Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Varies a lot through the series though) Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War Macross Frontier Macross: Do You Remember Love? Memories: Magnetic Rose Millennium Actress Neon Genesis Evangelion Pale Cocoon Paprika Perfect Blue RahXephon Revolutionary Girl Utena Revolutionary Girl Utena: Adolescence Apocalypse Wolf's Rain Xam'd: Lost Memories Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou ~Quiet Country Cafe~ For manga; 20th Century Boys 21th Century Boys Battle Angel Alita (Gets progressively better) Battle Angel Alita: Last Order Battle Royale Blade of the Immortal BLAME! (You probably won't see anything else quite like this, unless it's another of Nihei's works.) Bradherley's Coach Death Note Dogs (Frequently sloppy and lacking of detail, but the characters tend to be quite nicely done.) Eden: It's an Endless World! (It gets brilliant after a couple of volumes) Emerald Emma Hatsukanezumi no Jikan (If you can ever find any new chapters of it that is.) Hellsing (Not too spectacular at first, but like many others, Hirano improves his art over time.) Highschool of the Dead (The authors are well known for their Hentai. Expect lots of exaggerated boobs. But the art is great for everything else as well.) Homunculus Hotel Ichi The Killer Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Much more splendid than the movie.) Nijigahara Holograph Ohikkoshi Otomegatari (Holy shit those clothes.) Shin Angyo Onshi Solanin Tenjou Tenge (The art is great, but I wouldn't say anything else is...) The Laughing Vampire (It's detailed and all, but certainly an acquired taste, I didn't like it myself, but what do i know, you might.) Vinland Saga Welcome to the NHK What a Wonderful World Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Simply beautiful, much more so than the short anime OVAs.) |
| If want to see very high quality animation, but also very different go with Gankutsou-The Count Of Monte Cristo. Other shows: Paradise Kiss Ergo Proxy Wolf's Rain Baccano |
 |
| Manga Pandora Hearts - not at first, 6-10 chapters in the art gets much better. Tegami Bachi - seeing it in print is the best. Pandora Nurarihyon no Mago - the artist is very good at larger spreads and basic ink drawings. Kuroshitsuji - The costume designs in particular. Ten no Ryuu Chi no Sakura The Bride of the Water God Karneval Vagabond - it's on the graphic side though Anime Macross Frontier Natsume Yuujinchou |

| Wolf's Rain has great art and a great story. |
| Try Bakemonogatari its still airing but the animation/art is very unique and looks similar to alot of anime you like. |
