what is your stance on "i don't wanna watch that anime, the art style sucks" ?

I DROPPED JOJO 10 MINS IN because of the god forsaken ridiculous animation lol, it was tacky istg but it was the angels from heaven who came into me and i tried it again and might i tell you, it's my fave shounen till date :p


about Mob Psycho, the animation was sooooo goooood, i hardly cared about the art style, the shows i couldnt go through because of art style is Higurashi, i hope someone sells it to me

I get it, I myself refused to watch Aku no Hana a long time ago because of the artstyle. Vastly different from the manga.

Anime is a visual media, the visual is important, though not everything.

@Spunkert

I too have the right to say that you are stupid for thinking that people are stupid for thinking that way. (I explained why art style matters in my post above)

@Spunkert

>i also have a right to say that they are stupid for thinking that way
>meanwhile
>you are seriously gonna use the "Everybody who calls others stupid are stupid themselves" argument

Okay, boomer.

>And i have the right to say that you are wrong with your take.

As long as I have more evidence that proves my position than you have more evidence that disproves my position, I am correct and you are wrong. And before you say that there are also good works with bad animation, which makes me wrong, please, don't, because it is just disappointing to hear statistically illiterate things from people who appear to be smarter than average.

I still watch hisashi hirai mecha despite finding his artwork being repugnant, but it's still a valid reason.

I reserve the right to not watch anything for absolutely any reason whatsoever.

I gave "KamiKatsu" a chance knowing it was already an Animated trainwreck. From the obvious purposeful unpolished use of CGI to the lazy use of rotoscope animation (where they took live action footage and just superimposed cartoonish faces over film), to even the over use of portraying too many action sequences like they are some 8-bit videogame cutscenes, "KamiKatsu" actually genuinely offered a pretty unique premise that could have gone in any direction during the time I was giving it a chance. The problem was the novelty of how this series was presented as while it was still being developed over time got old fast and the story became less interesting to watch as it kept reaching near it's conclusion. I almost felt like the Animators just didn't get a crap about this Anime from the start and some how the series still managed to garnish a better than expected reception after the 1st few episodes were produced where the staff suddenly tried to get more serious about their job trying to produce the last half of the season with a better budget, time, and more serious story. Looking back at watching this Anime it almost felt like the Animation team was just rushed to produce something no matter how badly it was going to turn out.

If "KamiKatsu" would have kept a decent amount of consistency from it's Animation production to it's over all story and still managed to keep me just as entertained as watching the 1st few episodes, I think I would have liked this Anime a tiny bit better. Sadly this Anime really jumped the shark for me when it looked like their animation budget slightly improved and the story became less fun and funny to watch. I would have dropped this Anime after the 1st half but simply just kept watching it to it's conclusion due to watching this series with other real life friends when it was still airing.

Visuals are just one aspect to the over all appeal of Japanese Anime to me. It doesn't matter if something is the largest piece of eye candy that one couldn't get enough of looking at, When it comes to Anime, if something suddenly becomes completely unentertaining to consume, visuals suddenly take a backseat all the time for me.

@ToG25thBaam Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but the art style of the Aku no Hana anime isn't that bad.

I think it is valid for that to be a turn off. Just look at how ugly the One Piece characters are when they cry. How can you expect to take the emotional moments seriously?

@Dumb I appreciate that about Oda's art honestly. He's not afraid to make the women ugly cry.

None of the options describe how I feel.

I think the visuals are EXTREMELY important, but they have to be "what they need to be", no art style or level of animation quality is good or bad by default, it all depends on the execution.

Like if a CGDCT looked like ping pong the animation..... ok that would ironically hilarious, but it would fail miserably at being a CGDCT show.

Like I think ODD TAXI has only ok visuals, but it DOES NOT need to look better. My hero academia has pretty solid animation, but a lot of it's moments are still brought down by the visuals not being better.

But going back art style specifically, there are no good or bad art styles. There are generic art styles, unique art styles that match the show, and unique art styles that don't match the show.... but the "not match" is very uncommon because anyone who goes through the trouble of creating a unique art style, has a reason for it.

Of course. I can't enjoy a show if it has a weird artstyle. Stuff like Mob Psycho, JoJo seasons 4-7, Kill la Kill, etc. really ruins my enjoyment of the shows. Or if I'm watching early 2000s shows, most of them have very unpleasant style that didn't age well.

Wait... so you saying MHA visuals bad?

I need some examples of this, i'm honestly a lil baffled

@DigiCat My hero has "ok-good" animation for the most part, but on some rare moments looks suddenly increadible.

My hero does NOT have "bad" animation at all. Its just not as consistantly good looking as most other shounen titles.

So its not that my hero looks bad, its that a lot of its scenes are dragged down by it not looking even better.

That is mainly the case because my hero is an action series. Movie 2 and 3 of my hero are good examples of what I would want the show to look like.

The tv show is REALLY inconsistant. It looks good for the most part, but considering how my hero's manga has some of the best art out of the popular shounen titles, its a shame that it doesn't get the same treatment that stuff like jjk, csm, demon slayer, or hell even undead unluck and fire force get.

S7 has been looking great though, so far It still has yet to have a scene dragged down by animation.

Well, I almost vote for "somewhat" option due to thought you mean animation. Personally, art is of no concern to me for most part, but animation does impact a little bit, hence my discouragement when it come to oldies anime. Most anime art is fine, if it's not fine it will be in trash bin by first draft anyway.

@APolygons2 I guess agree to disagree

Now maybe the anime fights don't compare to the manga, but i still wouldn't say they're only at "ok-good" level, although i do think out of all you mentioned, Demon Slayer is top in battle visuals, CSM although i don't think the animation is good, fight choreografy-wise it's great, JJK i think is way more inconsistent than MHA (reffering to s2)
