Violet Evergarden, just like everyone pointed out.
Space Dandy, damn it looks phenomenal.

Also movies due to high budget, specially Garden of words.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

Literally all Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai's work are aesthetically beautiful and top tier. But if not them, then I'd say Evangelion or 3-gatsu no Lion

Anime by P.A Works, especially Nagi no Asukara, because I love the sea

Znra said:
i'm seeing the same answers (and new ones) all over so I'll drop something you guys haven't seen or ones you missed out yet.

Metropolis
Steamboy
Akira
Lupin III - Fujiko Mine to iu onna
Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku-hen
Hunter X Hunter (1999-2008)

Interestingly, you may ask why on the last one. The 2011 reboot might look like the more appealing one than the old series in modern standards, and while the HxH reboot might have those dope fight scenes and clean sakuga esp. in Chimera Ant arc, it never had the same goosebumps, crafty sound design, tension, and cinematic factor the OG series had. For those who haven't seen the '99 series, I highly encourage you to do so and you'll see what I'm talking about.


I'm actually watching HxH 1999 right now and was thinking of the series as well, although my main reason is how I love the strong line work in older anime.. but the overall darker theme in HxH is also interesting, makes it more intense and almost horror-like, I feel.

Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine

The art style is so unique and pretty!! I also think the anime is so underrated

Kenpuu Denki Berserk. Definitely not the one with the best visuals, but it has some of the best artwork I've ever seen (especially in the later episodes).

I even use this as my wallpaper.


The adaptation did a great job indeed; the Eclipse was truly beautiful. Who would have thought Berserk would receive the best and the worst adaptation huh?

As for me, first thing that comes to mind is Liz and the Blue Bird. Other than that I'd say The Tatami Galaxy. In terms of audiovisual experience, I guess these two are the best things I've ever seen. There's also The Tale of the Princess Kaguya; Kaiba; Monogatari series and Ping Pong the Animation. All of them impressive works.

Urusei Yatsura. The entire future funk movement rides on it, afterall.



For me personally I enjoy the look of 90s anime in general.


This particular music video just SCREAMS aesthetic to me. This is what I like.


I'm genuinely surprised that very few people here have mentioned webcore/animecore and vaporwave/future funk sorta anime like I constantly see on other sites, just recent stuff that doesn't really have any kind of distinct aesthetic other than "good animation"

Detective Conan. The art is so sharp and the cels are so beautiful. Even when it transitions to digital animation it is just so sharp and almost articulate in an artistic way.

A lot of stuff by director Shinbou Akiyuki from Shaft. Like Hidamari Sketch, Monogatari Series, Madoka Magica, and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
They are not necessarily massive budget projects like Shinkai Makoto and Miyasaki's stuff but they are pretty aesthetic, not in just beauty but in their uniqueness and the stuff going on in them.

Some of the ones that have stood out to me:

Fate/Stay Night: Heavens Feel: Some of the best fight sequences, both films have been total eye candy. Can't wait for spring song.
Monogatari: This is love or hate I reckon. I happen to love it - it's so stylish.
Sarazanmai: I watched this recently and I couldn't get over how goddamn pretty it is.
Garden of Words: I genuinely looked up whether or not they used real footage. Shame the story's not great.
Kono Danshi series: It's very unique and really pretty. It looks like a storybook. the aesthetics are the selling point tbh.

I also like a lot of old anime artstyles like:

Shoujo Kakumei Utena - Adolescence Mokushiroku: That film is an art piece. I just want to gif the whole thing especially that car transformation scene
End of Evangelion - iconic imagery
Tenshi no Tamago - bizarre film, stunning visuals
Patalliro! - yes it looks weird and I'm sure most people would hate it but I love it. It looks like a technicolour Beardsley artwork.
...also, old ghibli films like Nausicaa, Totoro, Laputa etc.

I agree with what a lot of people are saying, but Iblard Jikan wins this by a landslide!!

And this was mentioned before, but again (just to bring more attention to this), Kaguyahime no Monogatari was breathtaking in it's unique artstyle.

I'd mention these since no one did yet:
Mawaru Penguindrum. Unexpectedly detailed.
Also Hai to gensou no Grimgar. It had a very serene artstyle.

Edit: How could I forget The Dragon Dentist?! Amazing art and backgrounds.

Pretty much anything by Makoto Shinkai:
1. Your Name
2. Weathering with you/Garden of words
3. 5 cm per second

Also some movies like Redline, Akira, Kaiju no Kodomo and many Ghibli/Miyazaki films go unnotices for their aesthetics such as Grave of the fireflies, Spirited away and Mononoke Hime.

Maybe not amazing in modern day anime, but for it's time it's phenomenal:

1. Akira
2. Redline
3. Tenshi no Tamago/Angels egg (This is more of an experimental anime movie; quite slow and philosofical, but still outstanding animation)
4. Zuori Qing Kong/Crystal Sky of Yesterday
5. Any Shinkai/Kyoto animation creation (Though the animation is stunning, the content of these shows/movies are usually not so great; eg. Kyoukai no Kanata/Beyond the Boundary)

Watching it right now! A painting anime like Iblard Jikan (2life great art aswell!) and Akage no anne. Although it is a hentai, the plot is outstanding (like A kite). Would recommend.
