I think most anime characters look the same if you remove the hair and clothes, except for a few extreme cases where a character is ugly intentionally.
I completely disagree with this. Different characters have different character designs.

How is this even a topic? The answer is obvious.... Ofcourse some characters are going to look similar if it's the same artist or even if it's different artists. That's just an idiotic statement to say otherwise, but to deny that they don't have any defining features that set them apart from other characters is uncalled for.

As other people have different tastes it's pretty obvious that some characters are going to look more appealing to them than some. That's why I wouldn't really take this topic very seriously.... I mean, the fact that they're asking something that should be obvious has the word troll written all over it.


I explained that you can differentiate characters from things like hair, clothes, eye color, and sometimes accessories. But facial features aren't what differentiate anime characters.

But are they that different that you can call them "pretty" or "ugly"?
For example, these two have a difference on their face, their eyes shape. But still, it's not something THAT big that makes them stand out, or differentiating them from "ugly" to "pretty", I see neither of them as attractive... because they're anime.

Yeah but what does it matter? You're acting as if anime characters are drawn without hair, eye color, and different clothing. I don't get what you're trying to say exactly. How can an anime character be ugly if they can all look the same without hair? Ok... So where does your point go from there? The fact that they are drawn with DIFFERENT features, is what separates them from other characters.

Completely making this thread invalid, because you don't like the way a character looks because of their hair style? Well that's fine, that's awesome! More than likely they are going to keep that hairstyle throughout the series, so it's not wrong for someone to think an anime character is ugly.

While we're on the subject, let's take into account that character's personality. That matched with their style, will make them ugly. Now, going as far to say that all anime characters look the same hairless and the same colored eyes, you're just picking apart the subject to make yourself sound like you're onto something, but you can do that with nearly anything. Even here in real life.

Ugly may be too harsh a word unappealing I think is more suitable. I find all the female characters from K-On and Clannad unappealing but I find Belldandy to be one of the cutest female characters ever created by man. It's all based on personal opinion if you think an anime character is ugly or good looking.

I explained earlier that people don't use the terms "pretty" and "ugly" to refer to clothes and hairstyles, they use these terms for facial features, and then I said that anime characters' FACIAL features don't have much diversity.

Who are you to say what I base my personal criteria on? What I find appealing and what I don't? Just because you don't use the term "pretty" and "ugly" to define those specific characteristics then what makes you think that I wont? Saying a character is ugly because of certain hair or clothes is fair game.

They are wearing the clothes, and using the hairstyle... until they stop doing so then that character is infact ugly. You're not making any sense. Here is what I think, I'm thinking that someone called the characters above (since you used it as an example) ugly, or at least one of them. You then decided to rant on here about how such a concept isn't even conceivable to you.

Which is the very first thing you're going to see from her, her butt plastered into your face or her face that would make you freak out? That's my point. That show should've been less successful due to that half-female.

Yes, I definitely find some anime characters to be quite ugly, but that's mostly because I don't like the artistic style of the show in general.

It was hard for me to take Code Geass seriously because of those character designs. Also Shiki but it was only the hair that was weird but it was tolerable on some characters.

My sister refuses to watch stuff like One Piece and Dragon Ball because she thinks the characters are too ugly. I refuse to watch it because it tortures my soul to watch such long shows.

Also I want to punch Ash from pokemon in the face. Not because his face is ugly, more because of his constant stupid expression.

well yus, in early Naruto she was just basic but even then, after the chunin exams her personality developed beyond basicness. then in Shippuden, she got a bit more dimensions.

Not going to really go into her personality, but I always thought that she looked much better before she cut her hair, she should have grown it back like Ino, looked much better long imo

He cut her hair as part of character development. To emphasize that she her looks and other superficial things are not her one priority anymore, and that she put the past behind her in order to improve and get better, and accomplish her goals and ambitions

Not really. Only a few comedic scenes. All her ''bitchness'' and bad treatment of Naruto happened in the beginning of the series And how much she cares about Naruto after the time skip makes that ''bitch'' claim look silly. When it counted the most, she acknowledged him, and even asked for his help. Her feeling of guilt and much she deeply cares for Naruto is a big part of her development in the time skip. She is no way, a bitch.

You shouldn't have gone with that trait...

There are more valid reasons why Sakura is an ugly person both on the outside and the inside.

She's beyond shallow and delusional, her obsessive and pathetic attempts to try to constantly win the affection of the series' ultimate worst character exemplifies this perfectly.

And, I know what some people might say....A LOT of anime girls are shallow....true, but most of those are in specific romance oriented anime.

Sakura is in a heavy battle shounen story with little to no romance aside from her stupid antics.

Quite frankly she is one of the worst female characters I have ever seen...and I've seen a LOT of anime.
