| I personally think it can. Aku no Hana is ugly as fuuuuuuuck but it added to the stressful, anxiety-filled atmosphere. Whereas, I personally thought horror anime that had characters look too pretty made it a bit harder to immerse. Uglier, grittier art made things seem more real and a lot easier to immerse in. Seeing a loli get maimed only made me chuckle. The ugliness that was Yami Shibai was why I considered it good in terms of artistic direction. Do you agree or disagree MAL? |

| It depends on the theme. I don't want my moe having ugly characters. |
 |
| No, that's like saying a cast of moe characters can affect a show |

dity said: Art style or not, it was still a pretty poor adaptation though LOLi reckon if aku no hana had been styled like the manga, it would have fell flat |

| I liked how weird and wacky (and mostly ugly) the characters from cutey honey,so sometimes (mostly not) |

| Purposely ugly art is just stupid and caters to that elitist mentality that being unique is auto good. I prefer anime that uses its own style effectively, such as Ping Pong and yes, Aku no Hana. |

I do admit, that moment was... scintillating... but to the topic, i do think 'ugly' characters can add a lot. they could be ugly in a cutesy setting, rather than the usual dark anime they usually appear in, and i reckon it could do wonders. |
| wow... i didn't realize the anime adaptation for aku no hana was so.......... not normal. good thing i only read it... i don't think i'd enjoy the anime with the characters so... abstract |
 |
| Only side characters and villains have the right to be ugly |
| I'm pretty flexible when it comes to art so why not. |

| It worked for NGNL. |
| Definitely, but only because I'm a huge fan of diverse art--or at least I am now. As someone above noted, as long as it's effective and compatible with its tone. Ping Pong, Kemonozume, Mind Game, Kaiba, Genji, etc. |
DoctorDoom said: It worked for NGNL. You're wrong in every way. |
| Only if it is balanced by good-looking characters. An anime with a variety of character with different appearances is preferable to one where all characters are either beautiful or all ugly. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I like realistic art style. I also prefer when the characters are good looking but are made to have exaggerated expressions during moments of fear. It works better than ugly characters imo. |
| Think about it, if there a girl next to you who have no nose and super big eyes and no lips and green hair and the hair is like spikes , that ugly right :( All anime character is Love craft monsters in real life |
 |
| maybe?but to tell the truth i don't like anime were the art is fuck,,it's not interest me |
| guyssss princess jellyfish/kuragehime is the perfect example for this |
| yes |
| -☾✩ |
| It very much can if the anime is intended to be realistic. It works well on the psychological genre. |
 |
| I seriously dislike animes without at least 1 decent looking anime character. I just get pissed of because I want some eye candy not something that'll burn your eyes out. |

| This reminded of that double dating theory, take always a dumbugly friend with you and you will look perfect lol. What exactly is an ugly character? I can think of a few annoying ones, but ugly.. oh, the last one i saw was in Dragon Ball, and what came to my mind was more close to nastiness rather than ugliness. Just ended up annoying me. As far as not making everyone looking the same i totally agree, now if ugly characters would enhance the viewer's watching experience..im quite not sure. |

| I support both ways,if you had main characters for an action series will you try to creat a main character that his is very attactive from all the ways or a cute character that makes you feel he isnt the one who must fight in signgle terms a super kawai face that dont even look badass,so my theory about your thread is what the mangaka try to pass on the people?!They choose every kind of role that will attract public the victim must be an innocent that makes you feel he is weak character and in japan they love to see an attactive innocent woman in evil hands they love to see her reaction as a victim,Every mangaka has its own opinion have you been able to see "shingeki no bahamut"Do you find those mcs attractive or badass im reffering to leone favaro and lidfort kaisar?From series to series you will ascertainment that every character they create is a little of their selfs their past, their feelings,their dark and light side of themselves thats why i love japan because creating a story to reaching a crazy level that nobody is able to think! |
| Nakamura (Aku no hana) looks ugly in anime but she's cute in manga. I think if I read the manga before watching the anime I won't hate her that much. Because she's cute. lol |
| I'm behind that idea. Recently most of characters are too sweet-like, innocent looking. I wouldn't go too far with that ugly part but it's better when anime don't stray much from reality and not everyone looks like a doll. Like Steins Gate for example - main cast had a bunch of different people. |
 |
| Doesn't that work for Genshiken? Not that I've watched it, but it has a bunch of ugly/unconventionally attractive characters in it and a lot of people seem to like it. |
| Because the same principle really endeared Inquisition to people. |
| I care about their personality, not looks. If characters are ugly (their looks) but interesting in personality I dont mind or care about their looks. I dont think that they "enhance" show in any way by making them looks ugly but it surely does not ruins my anime. |

Ugly characters (this goes for people as well) adding something positive? |
