| after watching Clannad an Code Geass i think i no longer feel annoyed with any artstyle, so ill watch just about any anime no matter how ugly its art is |
 |
| I don't see why any rational person would sit through art they detest just for story, it's like playing a game you don't think is fun just to find out what happens. It's just that I think people write art styles outside of their comfort zones off too quickly. I've learned many times that art doesn't make a show. |

Milk_is_Special said: Do you ever have the problem that you think the story is something you really like, but you refuse to watch it just because the artstyle is so different and wrong in your eyes. I have this problem with Code Geass. I like the story but the art is in my eyes so ugly, that I just can't get myself to watch it. Do you guys have this problem too, or do you guys watch an anime even if the artstyle is really ugly? Yup, I didn't watched code geass (except first 4 episodes) because.. Not only weird artstyle but also how characters acted. Like all those gestures with unproportionaly long arms.. I didn't liked overall style of anime. Many says its story was amazing but I didn't liked the idea of futuristic military mecha mixed with young girls and boys in school uniforms. Also story was too much of a mess for me. also I didn't liked Attack on Titan art style, but anime was worth watching. Though I really loved Trinity Blood and Hellsing with their weird artstyles for some reason. |

Not sure if I'll ever get back to it. Couldn't get into it at first too, because all the other characters besides the medicine seller are caricaturish. But then I somehow got into the right state of mind and, oh god, this series is so beautiful - the music and the art are superb. Also it was nice to find all those Climt motives.

It should be your cup of tea, I guess, or it takes some effort to get accustomed to. I don't like it too much myself, but Code Geass had an interesting plot to compensate for it. When you talk about Attack on Titan's artstyle, do you mean manga? If so, I agree, that it is simply badly drawn. |

I m not saying it was bad but I didn't liked some details like characters eyebrows. They seem weird for some reason for me. |

| To be honest the old school anime was better than this new "moefag" designs |
| I know I may get a lot of dislikes for saying this but One Piece's art-style really annoys me. It's somewhat similar to CodeGease but the difference is CodeGease had a plot to make up for it . |

TheOldHome said: I'm the exact opposite. If the artstyle is really unique and different, it'll draw me to it. If the artstyle has nothing unique about it, I'll be more likely to not watch it. I ALWAYS advocate experimentation and innovation in art. I'm pretty much the same. I appreciate anime with unique or stylized art and am somewhat put off by shows that look generic (moe), though the latter won't completely stop me from watching something I'm interested in. For the longest time, I postponed Clannad because I despised those massive bug eyes, but fortunately I grew accustomed to them as I watched the show. Whether I regretted putting off Clannad for so long is questionable, however... |
 |
| Aku no Hana comes to mind. Loved the manga, couldn't get through more than 2 episodes of the anime, though I'm gonna guess that's already been mentioned. |
| Don't have any particular anime that I'd shun because of art style.. :X Maybe Mekaku City Actors but that's pretty much it.

| There are anime I could never get into because the art is too realistic. Also, old art is unappealing. I have made an exception for Trigun and I plan to give Outlaw Star another chance. Oh, like the post above me, I disliked the art from Mekaku City Actors |
| ive heard xxholic has a weird art style so ive been avoiding it :/ a shame i really liked the way its synopsis sounds |
 |
| Tatami Galaxy - I cant seem to get passed the weird looking animation. Kanon, Air, and Clannad - Their eyes are to far apart. It ruins all the female characters for me. |
| Not watching modern anime 'cause they're al moefag |

It's not just the way the characters look but it's also that the backgrounds are way too busy and over the top plus the lack of shadows and depth makes everything look very two dimensional.

MissJaegerjaquez said: ive heard xxholic has a weird art style so ive been avoiding it :/ a shame i really liked the way its synopsis sounds It's like Code Geass's art. So if you can get into that, xxx should be fine. |
| Code Geass art in general is ok. Code Geass character designs not so much. There's something to be said for this considering when the director first looked at the character designs, especially the design of Emporer Charles, he wondered if he should send it back, but then eventually he decided to just go with it because he thought it would be funny. |
fst said: Code Geass art in general is ok. Code Geass character designs not so much. They're just too skinny. Plus, the fanservice overload in season 2.. |

| I don't mind old animation and such too much. Art is definitely an aspect of a good anime to me, though. Some weird ones do bug me a little, like Kill la Kill. I started watching it and it felt like I hit animation shock or something since I'm not used to that sort of cartoon like art in anime. |
| I did it for the longest time with Code Geas, but I'm glad I got past the artwork and enjoyed the wonderful series. |
 |
| Not so much about the art, but I guess the vibrant of it. Often times the art should be considered fine but the colors don't looks so good. |
| I only have this problem if I don't feel the artstyle fits the tone of the anime. This is one out of MANY problems with Code Geass. You can't expect me to buy into this idea of people being repressed and treated like dirt when everybody in that show looks like a fashion model. Compare that to something like Half Life 2 for example, the world of City 17 looks like a horrible place to live and the people suffering look and feel like actually people |

| Shinsekai Yori. The art is decent and the animation is very bad but the show is so mysterious and the story is good. I have to keep watching it. Code geass has horrible art the only saving grace was the Mech designs. |
 |
| Kill la Kill. I'm interested after reading the synopsis and I don't freaking care if it has lots of fanservice as long as the plot makes up for it but the art style quickly repulsed me after I only watched 1 minute of the first ep.. |
| wtf people saying Code Geass has bad art ? it is 1 of the anime leading the big leap 2007-2008 in art style |

GoMarcia said: I think Aku no Hana sums this whole discussion To be fair its no the art style itself,its the technique used to animate in this case rotoscoping. Rotoscoping can be great if used properly , the most notable example is A Scanner Darkly, but when used by a un-experienced production team with a low budge it can create downright dreadful results.Such is the case with ANH. |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| Usually yes but I will first give it a 3 episode try before not continuing |
naens said: Zalis said: What is this actually? Never heard of it...Yes, the mythical 2007-08 art style cosmic shift was somehow led by something that actually started airing in 2006. It's around that time that shows began to air in HD. Some mistake it for being an artistic leap forward. |
| Clannad's art style is something I can't stand to look at. I'm fully aware of how highly acclaimed both Clannad and Clannad: After Story are, but I can't muster the energy to begin watching it because of the art style. |
| I did'nt actually refuse to watch it,but i just could'nt get over those character designs from Gundam SEED. -dunno,it's just something about those giant shiny eyes,tiny noses,pointy chins..........It's just what comes to mind when magine the drawings of someone who has'nt watched anme but has only heard generic remarks 'bout anme -ughh,not to mention when they go off-model |
 |
| I think people should be more open to watching anime with various art-styles... I also really don't understand when people say that they can't watch anime before 2005 or 2000 because the animation looks too dated.. I mean just exactly how many great series are you missing out on because you have to have super high quality animation and a certain art style to be able to watch anime? |

sedmelluq said: Code Geass' character designs aren't too far off from what you'd see in your average anime, but I don't see how you could not notice some of CLAMP's visual eccentrics.If I like the story, animation style isn't really that important. I don't understand the OPs issue with Code Geass though, it has average art style & quality in my opinion, doesn't even stand out in any way. |
| for me , story comes first , followed by characters , development , music art is the least of my worries , as long as I can understand what I'm seeing it's fine , but I definitely wouldn't mind if the anime had good art though , it's only for the best |
 |
| Not the art alone, no. It's usually a combination of ugly and a boring-sounding plot where bland highschool person does bland things, that gets me to pass on a new show. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| I tried so hard to get into Berserk, but I just couldn't get over the animation. It's a shame, because the story seemed good. |
| Sometimes the really moe designs in a lot of anime coming out around now looks so generic that I avoid watching the show. Every girl looks exactly the same but with different hair, clothing, and colours. |
