Summer Wars? Really? What about Natsuki being portrayed as a love interest and catalyst for the main character?

Monster and LOTGH are the anime most devoid of pretty girls and even then they are present just more realistic art style.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

I'm pretty sure at least half of them have pretty girls.


If I don't consider them pretty, there is no discussion. This topic is asking "would you watch anime if there were no pretty girls?" And I listed anime I've rated high that have zero girls I find "pretty".

The end.

Even anime with fan service for girl need girl in it.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Well Clannad and Air etc haven't got a single good looking female and they are quite popular too.
Their females are crazy Alien looking things coming for your soul.



But as i said, most anime have decent looking guys too so basically animators just prefer not having a full cast of ugliness.

They seem quite good-looking to me. And given these shows are harems, they should be good-looking.

Yeah, but only if it was highly rated and even then it would go on the bottom of the watch list. For example, I'm in no hurry to watch FMA:B and the main reason it's even on my PTW is Rie Kugimiya happens to voice a main character (albeit as a boy's voice).

I'll end up watchng a lot of shows with pretty girls in them because animation style is very important to me. A cool art style tends to bring cool-looking characters.

There aren't any pretty girls in Mushishi (except that swamp girl) and it's pretty great. I'll just watch whatever looks interesting.

I only watch anime for the balls.


Seriously, there's a difference between appreciating pretty girls in anime and watching only for them and the former is never wrong (sometimes the latter is aight too though).

Beauty is subjective though. There where quite a lot of nice looking women in mushishi.

I used to think I could, but after thinking about it, it would be have to be really good for me to enjoy it even though it doesn't have any good female characters.

HxH was somewhat hard to watch due to this reason but it was really good so it made up for it.

It is Highschool DxD, I watched it only because I like the concept, not the girls

Kaiji was great so yes. Having eye candy is not important, when it's common in all entertainment mediums.

Pretty girls are nice, but my gate doesn't swing that way, so they're the least of my concerns when watching anime.

Hunter x Hunter had maybe 5-7 females throughout the whole 148 episodes, but it's still one of the top 5 rated on MAL, is it not? And let's not forget FMA:B which has no attractive females what so ever *puts on flame suit in case there are Winry or Lust fans in this thread*

Armstrong is hotter than both. FMA has normally attractive females, Arwaka's art is just ugly.

Of course, there are anime that have more humble looking characters, not drop dead gorgeous, but more girl next door. It hink the heroine in Snow White with the Red Hair is a simple looking girl who has a personality that guys like myself love over looks.

I don't really care for eye candy/fanservice characters, but an anime without ANY female characters (pretty or not) would be probably suck (even JoJo has a few cool females, like Lisa-Lisa and later Trish or Jolyne).

Bullshit, she's called attractive IN series and has red fucking hair - she is a archtypical pretty girl.

Also practically EVERY girl in anime would be described as a pretty girl unless the artstyle is far from the norm...your tastes on the matter are irrelevant as the point is they aren't ugly or, realistic if you like (not that realistic is ugly but obviously anime is a super-stylised version of reality and apperance ideals etc.)

Now you're just BSing me. HDxD LITERALLY has at least one of every archetype of anime pretty girl possible. I know beauty is technically in the eye of the beholder, but some things cannot be argued. Highschool DxD is FULL of pretty girl, your tastes regardless.
