Most Unique Anime Art Design - Nomination Stage



Lets watch some random anime scenery together...


By the only one vote, our winner is...

Most Unique Anime Art Design


So now that we know the theme for this edition, lets start next round!


Nomination Stage

Rules:
Each participant can nominate 3 series that fits the used theme and criteria stated below. Depending on the place for which the entry got nominated, it gets a different amount of points.

You don’t need to nominate 3 entries, but be aware that points for each place differ based on the number of nominations.



After the voting period is over, the first 12 entries with the most points will advance to the next round. In case the tiebreaker for the last place will be needed (so if two entries will get the same amount of points and both will get placed 12th), there will be an additional round with only these two entries to decide the last place.

To be eligible for Most Unique Anime Art Design theme, the nominated series must meet the below criteria:
Criteria:
  • The show's total length must be 15 minutes or longer.
  • Due to the nature of this theme, its hard to draw specific criteria, to treat it more as a guidance. The most important question you should answer when nominating a show is - whether art design and direction are truly unique for this show and make it easily recognizable. Does the show stand out with its style? Can you easily recognize it based on random vague screenshot from the show, even without watching it? Does the art have something unique or is made using particular, rare style?
  • Please note that theme is more about the art style rather than animation itself. A high quality of animation is not enough to be considered an unique art design.
  • Character designs may be the part of the overall art direction but this alone shouldn't be your main reason for the nomination. Its good when they're complementing the overall art direction but they can't replace its uniqueness for this theme.


To make yours and ours lives easier, please use the following template:
[b]Nominations[/b]:
1. Series
2. Series
3. Series

We will introduce every round when the right time comes, but if you want to read about the whole event and its rules, here is the rulebook.

Nominations will be open until 18th of October
Please vote by nominating shows in a reply to this thread

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).
