| Hey everyone I'm simply looking for a realistic anime where the characters actually look like humans. You know, people with normal sized eyes, NOT a cast filled with people with pink, green hair, etc. etc. A couple good examples would be Zankyou no Terror and Ghost in the Shell. Besides that I'm not looking for something too specific, but I'd prefer the anime to be more realistic and serious. Thanks! |

The people in this anime look plenty realistic to me.   I swear you constantly complain about everything. @ Skudoops yeah, but 1 person out of a whole cast isn't too bad. She's just got a shitty hairdo. Anyways thanks for the recs |

| the closet i seen to realistic might be Aku No Hana and Perfect Blue. |
| B-b-but, isn't the point of anime to NOT watch those hideous things? |

Go for Shinkai, Isao Takahata and Mamoru Hosoda movies as well. |

SolviteSekai said: im not trolling. i guess giant eyes and cute girls are only moe when kyoani does them You should be, then. I didn't even bring up studios and such. I'm not sure of what you're taking as "moe". If it's the japanese slag for "cute" and "over the top kawainess", mostly concentrated around female young bishoujo and/or loli franchises, I fail to see Zankyou as an example... |
| You might like Monster. It has quite realistic art style and it is pretty serious and interesting! > http://myanimelist.net/anime/19/Monster Or maybe Rainbow: nisha rokubou no shichinin > http://myanimelist.net/anime/6114/Rainbow:_Nisha_Rokubou_no_Shichinin |

You should google what moe means, because you are wrong. Then you should cross reference it to what people on mal use Moe for. Then you should stop trying so hard to sound intelligent.

Characters look beautiful even though the show itself is average Never said it was ugly. just that it looks extremely modern, which is what everyone here is crying about. modern art where the characters look attractive and not like michael j fox drew them. |

Coming from the same community which has no idea of what "pretentions" "edgy" "masterpiece" means, it's no surprise. |

| FAVORITE ANIME | Aishiteruze Baby | Barakamon | Darker than Black | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun | Nodame Cantabile | Spice and Wolf |
| The one that immediately comes to my mind is Monster. Maybe Darker than Black? I can name a lot more but they are all movies like Perfect Blue. |
 |
| Sakamichi no apollon The girl who leapt through time |
 |
| Studios and directors matter when it comes to character designs. Production I.G, Madhouse, and Brains-Base have a number of shows with somewhat realistic character models like Real Drive Seirei no Moribito Psycho-Pass Monster Chihayafuru Claymore Kurenai Baccano! In general, I find shows with adult casts and mature themes more often use realistic character models. Hyouge Mono by Bee-Train, and Nodame Cantabile by J.C. Staff, are examples. Since most anime are adapted from other media, the character designs often reflect the tastes of the manga-ka as much as the anime production team. |
| I think OP wants anime with characters that look more mature or suit their ages, not lolis and childish highschoolers and ridiculously big boobs and pigtails and innocent eyes and whatever. My recommendations: Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou Eve no Jikan |
 |
| Check the Ghibli stuff. Specially in the case of Only yesterday (very emphasized, the animation of the scenes in the present timeline used real acting as a model), Whisper of the heart, The wind rises or Grave of the fireflies. |
| UCHUU KYOUDAI - Realistic anime :) Plus they're eyes are not that big ^^ It's very inspiring ^^ BAKUMAN (Seasons 1,2 & 3) - Another inspiring one :) I don't think their eyes are big :)) |
| Cowboy Bebop. Hokuto no Ken. |
| I think you should try http://myanimelist.net/anime/272/Noir and http://myanimelist.net/anime/5682/Phantom:_Requiem_for_the_Phantom |
 |
| Monster |
| I would say shinsekai yori. The characteres dont have pink, greeen, blue hair and these stuff. The animation in the first episode is not good, But in the 2 the art is getting better and better. Well, i know this sounds weird but in shinsekai yori the characteres are really realistics if we think about it.. A world with a utopic society 1000 years in the future where the humans can control the 100% of their brain. The main characteres are saki, mamoru, maria, shun and satoru. There's another one but he/she never appears, you will understend this if you watch the first episode. If we talk about the personalities they're really realistics, their decicions and all. Just ask yourself how would you be if you're in a society who looks perfect, but the true is that it is blood-stained and the world were you live is not what you think it is. Well anyways: the story is really serious. It makes you think about a lot of things. The eyes size are not the more realistic thing but well xD. I can tell you about what the story's about if you want to; (geez i love this anime i can talk about this all the day) 1000 years in the future, the humans can control the 100% of their brain, they can move or destroy everything they want to with just think about it. The civilization have been destroyed, The rest of the humans lives in a utopic society Anything that threatens this society, is eliminated. The world looks perfect, but it is bloodstained. Your parents are not who you think they're. Yours friends can dissapear in just a second, your world can be destroyed so easily. When the characteres discover the truth about their society is when their adventure begins. i can give you a picture of the animation; http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg612/mbeqiyutz/filesindowebstercom-_Shinsekai_Yori_-_05_mkv_snapshot_0050_20121028_025611.jpg Something like that. But the main characteres change, and the animation also change tbh. The music is really great ill put here a youtube video link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FVpwYCbUlc Oh, there is a girl with red hair hair. But that is realistic too. is like redhead idk Some people dropped the story bec a couple of things, it have a slow start and have "some things" that you probably wont like. But i can be sure; if you finish shinsekai yori you wont regret it. ewe well thats all. My main character is spanish sorry if i made a mistake. And sorry for the long answer xD |
