| Why not both? Style holds substance, telling as much as words in many ways. The two aren't mutually exclusive. |
| substance, i care for the plot and its presentation(the story telling not the style) much more than i do for the style of an anime, examples are how i hated killing bites and magica madoka, both have great animation, OST and all, but man i hate everyone in both series. mirai nikki too. a new unique style is simply appreciated, i really like onepiece,XXXholic, mononoke, the tatami galaxy, but these have decent stories as well and not mere animation and style. i didn't realize how much i care for the plot until after i watched killing bites. great actions and animation and dumb ass story. |

| Substance achieved through style? (bad directing would make any good intention crumble) |
| Something can be good with a good substance and with a bad style, but it's better if it's visually appealing. (coughHigurashicough) Something can't be good without substance but it helps to ignore the problems if you have style. (coughWolf Childrencough) I prefer substance over style because during the first time, having good visuals helps a lot but during rewatch (or even just a time later)... The flaws become evident. However if the visuals are bad but the story and characters are good, it can grow on you. |

| The best possible outcome would be something that has both style and substance. |

| A show can have an intricate and well-written story and dynamic characters but if I don't like its tone then I ultimate won't appreciate it as much as an aesthetically-pleasing show. Personally, I think something like Monster and Death Note is super well written but I'd rather watch something like Land of the Lustrous purely because of how beautiful that show looks and sounds. d: |
| Substance. I enjoy anime with good story Juuni Kokuki, Seirei no Moribito,Kemono no Souja Erin,Kimi no Na Wa, Shouwa Rakugo, Space Brothers,Code Geass,Your Lie in April etc. |

| CGDCT have style and substance so I do not really need to choose which one do I really want. |
| Both, I like watching for the animations, character, and etc. |

| If an anime has only style and no substance, then I personally find it really boring. I've watched a few anime with pretty bad animation and designs because I thought the story was interesting enough for me to try it. Although I can't say I've ever done the opposite. |
