Looking like American Cartoons. I think Soul Eater did this.

Except for the YT vid, these are totally awesome and unique art styles, for anyone wondering which anime the pictures are from:

For example Ping Pong The Animation, The Tatami Galaxy or Tekkon Kinkreet are examples of truly horrible Art Style for me, in fact it is one of the many reasons why I haven't watched these anime
@Saku33 this. I just don't like how the people look in Taiyo Matsumoto's works. His characters look 1) more Chinese than Japanese 2) way too swarthy/Southeast Asian. Like, that straight up is not how a real Japanese person looks like, and it's only worse because the author actually wanted realism and fumbled it.

@epidemia78 First time I've actually heard somebody not like Leiji's artstyle. Oh well, each to his own.

@perseii Code Geass? Really? With all the females being as attractive as they are in that show I positively don't understand what you dislike about it's art style.

The art style in anime like Kanon and Air and Clannad. Which are why I refuse to watch them. The disparity between the eyes of male vs female looks bad anyway but the bulging alien eyes look that goes way beyond moe and into uncanny valley territory of the female characters is way way too much.


On a different scale the awful pointy cheeks and chins of the characters in the Junjo Romantica type anime. Got those terrible exaggerated moe eyes there too (not nearly as bad in the above) but overall the designs are rather ugly looking for something that's supposed to be about romance (plus I think it has those particular BL tropes that even though I like BL, I don't like those)

Dragon Ball, One Piece, 7 Deadly Sins. They're the worst imo.

Dragonball character design (them scrunched-up eyebrows). Unwatchable. Without a doubt I would never make it past Ep. 1 (not that that type of shounen is my thing anyway).

Extreme-size Clannad-style eyes. It's mainly just a couple of shows with the worst application (Clannad being one).

The noses in Tenkuu no Escaflowne:

2000's J.C. Staff: Overly large eye reflections in Zero no Tsukaima & Hayate no Gotoku! (also the male protag's mop hair):

Characters that don't even come close to looking their age (from Astarotte no Omocha!):

xxxHolic stilt-legs (though I at least got used to it after awhile and the slenderness ratio seemed to vary throughout the series -- at times it was less noticeable depending on camera angle and distance, etc.)

3-gatsu no Lion lip shadow (whatever it's called). A bit distracting. It was less noticeable in S2 (either they toned it down or else I got used to it).

none, the most "turn off" art style to me are the ones that look like generic shlob.

pretty much everything that project n9 makes would be in that list.

@IKKIsama I think SEED is probably the worst Hirai ever did. Everywhere else (Mugen no Ryvius, s-Cry-ed, Heroic Age, Majestic Prince, Fafner), I think he's actually pretty good.
I think the glass eyes in SEED is what makes those designs ugly. They're nowhere near as pronounced in the other shows I just mentioned.

@TheMechaManiac I completely understand your point of view and that of the designer, but I don't like that style of drawing and animation at all

Clannad artstyle was pretty unsatisfying for such critically acclaimed show,

Mononoke and One Piece certain seasons are also borth mentioning, due to how unappealing it felt sometimes

The only one that I truly couldn't stand was Ping Pong the Animation, and I'll leave it at that because talking more about this series has a risk of me going on a very rude rant lol
Except for Devilman: Crybaby, pretty much all of Masaaki Yuasa's works I've seen so far looked pretty ugly to me from aesthetic perspective, but not to a point where I'd hate the anime for that, which is one of the main reasons for me hating Ping Pong.

Aachi wa Ssipak movie looked disgusting, and I hated it, but at least it fit the overall vibe and purpose of the movie.

I got used to One Piece's style fairly quickly, but it was just one of many reasons for me not liking it, so it didn't really help. I still don't find it pleasant, but if I watched the series, then I'd definitely be able to tolerate or sometimes even enjoy it, depending on the character etc.

A lot of Madoka Magica's characters looked very ugly to me, namely Madoka herself, so I'm often confused when I see people praising its art style.

Kemonozune is the ugliest thing ever. At this point I'd rather watch moeblobs it's that bad.

True, but I liked that Ooba guy and how crazy everything went in the 2nd half :p if it was as unhinged all the way through, then maybe I'd have liked it more lol

@-YaoiBoy- I couldn't even finish it, too ugly and weird. ><

Also Devilman Crybaby is a weird one, it's like either ugly or beautiful depending on which scene you look at, and it can change in rapid succession...

@JaniSIr I guess you didn't miss much lol I thought the last few episodes were quite funny because of how incredibly weird and absurd they were even compared to the rest of the series, but I guess it can have an opposite effect and make people dislike it even more :p

Yeah, it definitely is :) I remember being a bit weirded out when I started watching it, but I quickly fell in love with it, so I guess some of the potentially ugly parts became unimportant to me.

@-YaoiBoy- Probably would have pissed me off more yes, I was really just interested in the NTR plotline...

I decided to watch Devilman Crybaby, after seeing an out of context clip of the donkey scene.

@JaniSIr I vaguely remember that :p but already forgot the details.

Lol that's one way to get interested in it :p I think my friend just recommended it to me back in 2019 and I watched it completely blind. One of his many spot on recommendations.

@Akuya G-Witch is inarguably the ugliest Gundam ever got. It's an art style that fails to be moe and fails to be Gundam. And to add to that - it's also very lifeless and stiff.

Legit miss Yun Kouga's work on 00, because damn did she deliver on the "attractive" part, for men and women alike.
