| Art style meaning the way the characters are drawn -- The amount of times i get recommended to watch Clannad + Clannad AS, I really CAN'T do it. It sounds so amazing and I did try to put myself through it once but I couldn't get pass 3 minutes without cringing and dying at the characters' appearance. I can't take the exaggerated features and the hair and the "kawaii-ness", especially when they are meant to be 16 or whatever but look 10 years old. I'd rather have them look 30 instead. How do people watch anime like this?! |
| Xtina is my mother! |
| i still cant understand how i managed to finish clannad anyway , actually if the art style is so bad i will drop it immediately |

 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| I often don't tend to give much importance to the art style of an anime if it manages to call my attention. I watched Chaos Dragon despite how bad the designs were... and although it was shit (in designs ans plot), at least I managed to finish it. |
 |
| I don't have anything against any art style. Talking about Clannad, I loved that animation type for the same reasons you hate it, because they look gorgeous and young, it's a lot better than making them older because in that anime that's how they were meant to look like. |
 |
| Just have to hope that everything else makes up for it. The Clannad faces were pretty awful. It was like they had the middle part of their faces cut out; they were far too short. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
kamisama751 said: My standard for art style is actually pretty low and can (because of this) watch nearly every show. I'm with you on this. And honestly, if you're gonna just depend on art style, you're just going to spoil some of the amazing anime series out there for yourself, or miss them completely. But I guess to some people eye-candy is just too important. |
 |
| I dont watch such stuff, thats why avoiding Clannad |
| I cringed whilst watching every episode of Aku no Hana and Ping Pong the animation, eventually I got used to it, until I realized that anime could look better. |
| Just... stop caring about it so much? |
  |
| Art style can't kill a good story... I'm currently watching Higurashi, which has some awful character designs and odd body shapes, but it's the story that keeps me engaged. As for Clannad, I thought that the art style worked well - it had the scent of youth and innocence. But, again, I admire it because of the plot. That's why Clannad After Story has been in the top 10 of MAL for 6 years. |

| You aren't the only one with Clannad with being a cr*p anime but thats just my opinion. There are more awful animations out there such as The flower is evil which I couldn't bear |

| i don't really that nitpicking about artstyle, but i understadn the reason thou. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Have you tried closing your eyes? Look with the heart. |
| at first it might be quite bothersome but i always get used to it after like 3 episodes. |
♦ PROFILE ♦ ANIME LIST ♦  |
| Aku no Hana animation almost made me poke my eyeballs out but after a while, I got used to it so no. That's the only anime I was skeptical about the animation and probably the last. |
| I watched Clannad for Tomoya anyway. And his chara design is fine so that wasn't much of a problem. |
 |
| I'm good with art styles can pretty much watch anything. Apart from clannad I'll never watch that. |
| Everyone has their limits, and while you can almost acclimatise yourself to certain art styles, there's always going to be a point where it's immersion-breaking. I couldn't get into Clannad at all for that very reason. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| If the story is interesting enough, no animation art style can stop me |
 |
| im also a person who can't stand bad animation/art, especially those minimalist art styles are horrible and just a lame excuse for saving money, but clannad has good art compared to others. watch tatami galaxy or gankutsuou....wow, ugliness on a whole new level. |
 |
| I don't.... with only a few exceptions here and there... |
| ping pong had a "shitty" artstyle and it's now the best sports anime imo. |
| It really depends if the story goof. But most of the time i pass and watch an anime with better quality. |
 |
| i only watch anime with objectively good art style |
 |
| I don't think there are many art styles I would specifically refuse to watch, I care more about the consistency (no sudden QUALITY scenes). Out of all entertainment media only animation and comics can be this playful with body proportions and make them part of the visual outlook, so I just try to see why the creators were going for a certain look and try to enjoy it. What's with people being so triggered by skinny Code Geass characters? Do you fear that the show will make you look fat in comparison? Not enough Health At Every Size™? |
| In the old times I can but now I can't.. |
| By not being a pleb millennial..... |
| Give it 5 episodes and you'll get used to it. |
 |
| I don't... If I don't like the artstyle, I just throw that trash out *cough*Code GeAss*cough* |
 |
| I don't think 'horrible' art styles even exist tbh. It's all subjective which is I go in with an open mind, just like I do for everything I try. |

How do people watch anime like this?! Yeah, I totally agree. I really want to get into Clannad, but the eyes ARE SO BIG Why are they so big? Like, I can manage so many series, and I know in general anime eyes are big (especially in ecchi stuff), but wtf is wrong with Clannad's eyes? Probably to express the amount of feels that are supposed to flow from our own eyes... But objectively speaking, it's true that, at the end of the day, it's all art and it's upto each individual viewer to have their own standards on how to view it. TL;DR It depends on the person. |

| My eyes will have to BURN for the sake of the beautiful story *⁂((✪⥎✪))⁂* |
   |
| Bad art = instant drop If you can't make an anime look as good as possible, then why bother with it? |
 |
| I used to avoid anime which have horrible art styles, for instance Clannad. I didn't want to watch it because of their extremely huge eyes... but I watched it anyway and like it was pretty good! Then I think I got used to the art style and didn't try to avoid any anime with "horrible" art styles anymore... |

| You get used to it, when you're around three episodes in at the latest. After that it doesn't bother you anymore and a good story is way more important anyway. |
  |
| I tend to be more forgiving on basis of art. If it's REALLY bad however... |
| If the anime has a translated manga/novel version, I don't. This is why I don't watch Fate/kaleid and KonoSuba, but still follow the manga. Art (picture), animation, and story are what make the anime, unlike manga (no animation) and novel (no animation and limited picture), so TS's decision is understandable. |

The eyes are creepy. What's creepier it's that one of the characters use glasses... and THEIR GLASSES ARE LIKE 1/4 THE SIZE OF THEIR EYES LIKE WHAT ARE THE GLASSES FOR |

| I haven't stopped watching a show for its art yet, haven't found one that bad. Clannad I just stopped watching cause it's actually the most boring anime I've ever tried watching. |
| I don't watch it if it doesn't fit my "art style" standards. |
Lies. Lies. Lies.  Lies. Lies. Lies. |
| well art is important too i think... but the animation is other threat |
