| I love beautiful backgrounds. Here's some where I wish I could jump into the scene. Kotonoha no Niwa Doukyuusei Mushishi Aria Mahoutsukai no Yome Amanchu Hotarubi no Mori e And pretty much everything from KyoAni and Ghibli *Edit* I can't believe I forgot to mention 3 gatsu no lion. It's one of the most calming and aesthetically pleasing anime I've ever seen. |

| Nagi no Asukara, UBW, Kill la Kill and Violet Evergarden look pretty awesome for me. |
 |
| Imma be hipster here and say Mirai Mizue does amazing abstract animation, they're really relaxing. |
 |
| 1 - Any movie by Shinkai 2 - Hyoukai 3 - Mushi-shi 4 - Monogatari Series 5 - Kanojo X Kanojo X Kanojo |
| Any high-budget cel animation movie from the 80s and 90s pretty much. Akira, Venus Wars, Beautiful Dreamer, Sirius no Densetsu, Yousei Florence, DYRL etc... Not to forget Ghibli of course. Not that there aren't amazing looking movies in modern days like Redline or Kaguyahime or Jin-Roh but personally I just prefer the hand-drawn cel animation aesthetic a bit. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Mob Psycho 100, Koe no Katachi, Hyouka, Howl's Moving Castle, Doukyuusei and Paprika are the ones I can think of right now |
| Made in Abyss Haibane Renmei Spice and Wolf The Ancient Magus Bride |
 |
| No Game No Life, Nagi no Asukura, and Brynhildr in the Darkness. Yes I have shit taste |
 |
| Most visually pleasing for me so far... (Not in any particular order) Fate Series Shingeki no Kyojin season 2 Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Boku no Hero Academia One Punch Man Kara no Kyokai Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Part 3+ K-Project Iron Blooded Orphans Kizumonogatari |
Darek said: Nothing Ufotable, they're ugly. I cannot exactly decide on one, Redline, Akira, Re;Cutey Honey, Kill la Kill, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Diebuster, Tatami Galaxy, this one is gonna trigger some: Ping Pong the Animation. But if I had to choose one... Ehhhhh, I think might go with Redline. +1 on all of those (that i've seen idk about the other ones) also monogatari, flcl, space dandy, GiTS 95, & K-on |
Big breast are full of dreams, but small breast are full of hope. |
| For me, an anime doesn't necessarily need to have the best animation as long as the setting is gorgeous. Aria's Neo-Venezia is much more pleasing to look at than Fate/Zero & UBW, for example, despite it being older. I'll be the first to mention Non Non Biyori. It has the most beautiful scenery I've seen in anime so far. This is why I prefer rural settings, they usually have much better atmosphere:  |
              |
| I will list some anime which i considered to be very pleasing, visual wise: No Game No Life: Zero (Just look as the freaking picture)  The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (The lightning effect in this movie is the BEST i've seen. Period.)  The Monogatari seri (Just for the intriguing style, it's an amv, so there's edit, but still) RedLine (Every single Frame is hand draw, it took like 7 years to make) Katanagatari (not the highest budget, but very unique art style)  Kara no Kyoukai (Ufotable, what can i say) i personally think that Kara no Kyoukai is their best animated anime Ghibli, because Ghibli   and so much more |
| Damn...no love for Mononoke? Definitely deserves a nod imo. |
| Last time I got the a e s t h e t i c feel was when I was watching ACCA: 13-ku kansatsu-ka. Madhouse doing God's work there. The combination of cool artstyle, bakeries porn, and the chill music is pure awesome. The other ones maybe KyoAni and Ufotable's works. |
oryouohagi said: Stein_ said: Do you guys really find Redline visually "pleasing"? That film is definitely one (if not the) most impressive productions in existence, but it has soo much going on that I actually found it visually assaulting most of the time. The color scheme is particularly hard on the eyes. Dunno. Anyway, Hyouka. Hyouka is by far the most gorgeous anime I've ever gazed upon. It's actually ridiculous that that show exists at all, and as a 22 episodes TV production on top of that. Like what the fuck. Hyouka is life. It's my all time favourite anime, so I'm kind of biased, but I also think it's the most visually pleasing TV anime ever made. Nah, forget about biases. It only takes a cursory glance at the School Festival Arc to see how horrifyingly alive everything feels and realize that not only does Hyouka blow every other TV anime out of the water, but also puts a good number of movies to shame. That show is an incredible thing. |
 |
| 80s and 90s anime for the most part, and 70s anime directed by Osamu Dezaki. |

That show is an incredible thing. I'm actually looking for a school festival more lively than that of Hyouka, since I watched it. I haven't seen one ever since, that's for sure. And not to talk about the beautiful: |
 |
| P much everyone has said it already but anything by KyoAni (esp Euphonium, Koe no Katachi) and Shinkai movies (Garden of Words easily has the most gorgeous aesthetic from any show I've watched). I'd also like to throw in Rakugo. Like the there wasn't much actual movement in that show but the still shots were so pretty. Same case with 3-gatsu no Lion and Mononoke. |
| Koe no Katachi Shinkai Movies Ufo anime SAO OS SNK Kino no Tabi 2017 Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau |
| Hyouka (and other KyoAni tittle), Atack on titan, Kimi no nawa, SAO ordinal scale, Koe no katachi, Kotonoha no niwa |
 User-based score rating isn't the best, better look for users with good sense and rating as a reference |
| Queen Millennia Transformers Abunai Sisters SD Gundam Force |
 |
| 80's and 90's anime usually. Or unique styles like Ping Pong/Tekkon Kinkreet/Kemonozume. |
- Nagi no Asukara    - Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis and Virgin Soul       - Garden of Words   - Kimi no na wa   - Your lie in April   - Violet Evergarden (not aired yet "January 2017" but watch the PV)   |

| I really love traditional anime sakuga. Animation you see a lot in anime like Cowboy Bepop or Hunter x Hunter 1999. |
  |
| Kyoukai no Kanata 3-gatsu no Lion series Zankyou no Terror Mononoke Air |
 |
| Made in abyss, madoka magica, monogatari series, nagi no asukara and gankutsuou |
   |
| 70s, 80s, 90s Belladonna Of Sadness Tomorrow's Joe 2 Arcadia Of My Youth Space Adventure Cobra Macross - Do You Remember Love? Devilman - The Birth Akira Mobile Suit Gundam - Char's Counterattack Venus Wars Mobile Police Patlabor - Movies Macross Plus The End Of Evangelion Revolutionary Girl Utena - Adolescence Apocalypse From 2000 Escaflowne Blood - The Last Vampire Vampire Hunter D Spirited Away Millennium Actress Planetes Texhnolyze Ghost In The Shell 2 Howl's Moving Castle Paprika Redline The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya Puella Magi Madoka Magica Star Blazers 2199 Garden Of Words A Silent Voice Your Name Cardcaptor Sakura Prologue Made In Abyss |
 |
| For me, by far: Le Portrait de Petite Cossette. This of course is Shinbou-style at its finest (before *monogatari, before Madoka). Highest quality does not necessarily mean "pleasing". Other worthy mentions: Flip Flappers Cat Soup |
  |
| Mine are: - Your Lie in April - No Game No Life - Hyouka - Your Name - Howl's Moving Castle - Violet Evergarden - Spirited Away - The Garden of Words |

| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| I love the visual aesthetic of Akira. |
Relevant: words words words words words |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Most of the shows from P.A. Works, since I absolutelly love their character desings and their background animation is one of the best in industry. Nagi no Asukara, Hanasaku Iroha, Angel Beats! for instance. But Nagi no Asukara is it's own category when it comes to visuals. Literally visual porn. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| The Night is Short, Walk on Girl is probaby the most visually pleasing anime I've seen. The Tatami Galaxy had amazing direction but the fact that it was a TV anime and that it was pre-flash Yuasa meant it looked a bit rough around the edges. Flash really breathes new life into the art style and the fact it's a film means they could really work hard to make things look consistently good. |
| I find this anime pretty stupid but the art tho... Kotonoha no Niwa |
 "π―π½π πππΆπ πΉππ'π πππ ππ πΉππΈπΎπΉπ πΆππππ½πΎππ, πππ ππππ π½ππ ππ½ππ πΉπΎπ." |
| Berserk 2016. A masterful representation of the future of anime. |
 |
| These particular titles stood out to me. Kimi no Nawa Gankutsuou The Adolescence of Utena Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya End of Evangelion. |
| RYOJI KAJI [to Shinji] So, I understand you're living with Katsuragi. SHINJI IKARI Uh, yeah... RYOJI KAJI So, is she still so... wild in bed? |
| Guilty Crown, Aoki Hagane, Sidonia no Kishi (limit words in a nutshell) |
| For me, it's Houseki no Kuni. I started watching for its visuals alone, but then I realized that it has a nice soundtrack and an interesting story too. |
| Mononoke 91 days had very pleasing animation and visuals Kotonoha no niwa Natsume Yuujinchou Black Lagoon Monster ...this kind of stuff. |
 |
| Kimi no Na Wa Garden of Words Nagi no Asukara (Almost anything from PA Works) Kyoukai no Kanata (Pretty much anything from KyoAni, especially Violet Evergarden) Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou Nerawareta Gakuen *Absolute scenery porn* (I would put ufotable (Fate) as well but people already listed it so...) |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
