I like the art style from 80s and 90s. But specifically, I love the art style of the following anime:
Berserk (1997) - It's really weird of me to say that I like the Berserk's art style from '97. But hey, it's better than the crappy CGI they did to my favorite anime in 2015. I have this wish that the Berserk manga was done already around '90s and have the 1997 to do its adaptation, it's a weird wish but it's way better than their crappy CGI.
Black Jack (1993) - I've been hesitant to watch this anime before and I did not regret watching this one. Compare this OVA to the 2004 series of Black Jack, the 1993 OVA is WAY BETTER. I really love the 1993 OVA of Black Jack due to its art style.
Your Name - Everyone knows why.
Monster - The art style looks pretty unique, especially the character design. This art style can be seen also in other anime like Master Keaton since it's from the same author of the manga. Well done with Johan Liebert. :P

I don't really know which art style is my favorite tho. :C

Monogatari Series and Mob Psycho 100 have by far the best and most unique art styles I have seen so far.

I like a lot of bright and colourful stuff like the Eccentric Family or the Monogatari Series and The Eccentric Family which both go far away from realism. Also basically anything made in the 80's.

Least favourites include monotone looks like Attack on Titan, Monster and Ergo Proxy, or just stuff where clearly no thought was put into the colour design like the hideousness that is the Ace Attorney anime. Anything that looks 'lazy' or 'generic' to me basically.


What's "monotone", "lazy", or "generic" in Attack on Titan's artstyle?

I'm not a fan of the colour palette at all. Everything's a washed-out shade of brown with maybe a bit of equally washed-out green every now and then. Personally, I prefer something more vibrant and with more variety in its colour palette. I didn't intend to specifically call AoT lazy and generic, that was just poor wording but I do stand by thinking the show is ugly. But it's their art style and there's nothing I can do about it.

My top two studios would be Trigger and Kyoto Animation. Trigger with Kill la Kill and Promare. Kyoani with Nichijou and A Silent Voice. I can't help but love their unique style. They are my favorites, but I love what other studios have done as well.

Bones with Mob Psycho 100 and Space Dandy. Ufotable with Demon Slayer and the Fate series. A-1 with Kaguya-sama and Your Lie in April. Shaft with March Comes in Like a Lion, Madoka, and the Monogatari series. Madhouse with Tatami Galaxy and No Game No Life. David's Production with the JoJo series. MAPPA absolutely killed it this past year. Dorohedoro, the God of Highschool, Jujustu Kaisen, and the final season of Attack on Titan. All of them were great animation wise. I also can't wait to see what they do with Chainsaw Man this year.

I have seen so much great stuff since only starting my anime journey a little over four years ago. I can't wait to see what comes next. Not only for this next season(which I think has 12 different shows I am interested in, most in one season I believe) but for the year and beyond.

I'm not sure about my favourite style, but I found Hidamari Sketch a couple of weeks ago and I love the visuals in the show, typical Shaft studio animation. It reminds me heavily of Monogatari, but applied to a completely different method of story telling.

I quite enjoy the 90's fantasy art style of shows like Slayers and Sorcerer Hunters.

My favourite anime art style was the one they used specifically in the Dragon Ball Super Broly Movie. That and Mob Psycho. Love those ones, very colourful.

I'm a really big fan of Araki, Toriyama, and Kazuki Takahashi's art styles. I like the more realistic style with the more fabulous look Araki goes for nowadays with parts 7 and 8 of Jojo, the cartoony yet angular nature that Toriyama goes for with Dragon Ball Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger, and Takahashi's very detailed and angular style that is synonomous with the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise pre-SEVENS. Also I don't know if this counts as it isn't anime but I am a big fan of Kaneko's artwrok from the Shin Megami Tensei series. Specifically from Persona 1 and Devil Summoner Soul Hackers onwards you see his art get really disticnt with his androgynous style of character design, more washed out watercolor looking palletes, and the thick black outlines for the top lips of his characters. Some of his best work can be seen in Persona 2, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne and the HD REMASTER, Digital Devil Saga, Kuzunoha Raidou, and Strange Journey. Sadly Kaneko doesn't really do too much anymore with Soejima taking over the art for Persona and Doi taking over for the mainline Shin Megami Tensei titles.

DAMN IT, WE HAD A THREAD LIKE THIS AND I CAN'T FIND IT NOW....how annoying xD

Love





Hate (warning; contains high octane nightmare fuel)


I also hate Naruto's art style...it's not like it's scary like the above...but it's horribly boring and the characters' eyes look so lifeless. o_o why do they not have highlights like they're supposed to?



Painfully simple. Would it kill them to draw more lines in her hair? xD And that blank stare is weird. And barely any shading...and NO highlights in the hair or eyes!?

Normally I'm not so picky of the art style when it comes to anime, but when it comes to particularly phenomenal art styles such as the ones featured in the works of Shinbo, Yuasa, or KyoAni, they definitely distinguish themselves from other works in terms of their appeal to my eyes. As for art styles that I hate, well obviously no one enjoys abominable, chaotic 3DCGI disaster, so there's that. To name a few belonging to that category, Berserk 2016 comes to mind (even tho i didn't even bother watching it), alongside some other recent nuclear hazards such as the GoHands-produced Hand Shakers & W'z and some ghastly isekais that implement a considerable amount of hideous CGI trash such as Arifureta & bits and pieces of Overlord.

Besides that, I guess just any especially boring art style tend to displease me as well. Many cliche and low-scoring harem shows tend to fall under this category, and it just clearly reasons out why they happen to be detested universally (well to an extent I guess as some people still find them enjoyable). So yeah, I'd say that having an exotic art style doesn't necessarily make an anime automatically appealing, but the viewership experience definitely enhances when the art isn't so generic and pale.

Pretty much every title in my favs. If we'd be talking about manga I'd have long list of artists I like. But I usually find good points in every art style and don't like to hate on them that much.

Regardless Kyoani works I don't like.

NGE, AoT, Vinland Saga, Hunter x Hunter, and Jojo are a few of my favorites.
I don’t hate any artstyle in particular.
I was put off by the Ping Pong artstyle at first, and DVMN Crybaby as well. But they have other aspects which make them good.
