Higurashi was enjoyable but everyone looks like a moe, it was kinda disturbing since you have Moe characters killing each other

No.

As in any piece of fiction, the most important aspects of an anime are story and characters. The impact of any other aspect is minimal. I suppose next we'd say soundtrack, and then animation, with artwork at the end. Really, as long as the story and characters are great, then you've got a great show. However, it is possible to, for example, remove a point for bad animation/art, but that should not greatly impact the rest of the show.

I hope this makes sense :)

Ruin? No. Take away from the experience? Sure.

The only one that comes to my mind right now is Ping Pong, and as much as I agree with the generally very positive perception of the show, I despised its art.

While this didn't hurt the show much at all for me, I'd have liked that..especially for the music. There are several great tunes, but a lot of that anime's soundtrack is very, very generic. At least it got the job done.

I'm fairly tolerant regarding art style, or at least try to be, but yes. Aku no Hana exists in both manga and anime...and the way they chose to handle the anime certainly ruined it for me. The manga, on the other hand, was enjoyable.

I really liked the artwork, and I felt that the pacing was far superior in the anime. But to each his own, right? :)

I'm only four volumes into the manga, and I think that overall it'll be better than the anime, but the art has nothing to do with it for me.

Not necessarily, I think, if the story is worth watching and interesting. Afterall, I'm watching cause of the plot and not to stare at the art. But first thing you will most likely notice is the art so if you find it disturbing there's a chance that you'll drop it. Then there are also anime which have good art but not so interesting plots.

The animation in that episode wasn't bad.

It was just that particular episode had a guest director who used a different art style.

I'd say yes but in terms of bad art meaning being of an inconsistent quality rather than simply being of an artstyle I or others don't like.


Agreed. Inconsistency is what comes to my mind whenever the topic of bad or lazy art is brought up. Ping Pong's art wasn't bad; it was just different and, most of all, intentional. It was part of the show's charm.

Regarding inconsistency, I think that Birdy the Mighty Decode 2's action scenes are a good example of where it can take away from the viewing experience. It's clear that the art quality was drastically toned down during these scenes, to the point where all the details from the characters were removed (resulting in only basic outlines) and debris/smoke from damaged buildings were merely shown as polygons. And then after the action, the art quality would return to normal like nothing happened.

It was jarring for sure... but to be fair, it did serve to maintain the quality of the animation and arguably added to the grittiness of the action, but I digress.

I don't know if 'pleasing' is the right word :P

But I did feel that it represented the story a little better than the artwork in the manga. It was different and slightly strange, just like the story. The artwork in the manga is almost cute, and while I like it too - and I think that it adds a certain layer of unease, what with how young they are - I think the rotoscoping gave the anime an edge. However, I can definitely see why some people don't like it.

I don't know...Naruto's ugly lazy low-budget art-work and animation is really annoying, and bothers me, and hurts my head.

I think it's a bad series in general, but the bad art-work/animation for Naruto, definitely makes it a lot worse than just terrible.
