| There's a certain style from the 90s, which I'm not a big fan of. Stuff like Dirty Pair Flash or Saber Marionette J. |
| Probably the early transitioning to digital art (early 2000s, or mid-2000s even) and pre-80s (but sure I guess some 70s anime look fine). Actually you know what, as much as I adore 80s anime, a lot of them look straight up ass as well. They seriously look bad, way worse than what we have today. Which probably isn't the highest bar to set.

| I mean, '60s. Speed Racer and Astro Boy and shit like that. Pretty much everything else looks totally fine to me in theory, though. tetrabun-ny said: SoldierDream said: I'd say the 2020s so far. It's definitely shaping up as the ugliest-looking anime era. Totally agree. Especially the continued overuse of digital effects and digital coloring like like what was used in Asterisk War, Gamers, Irregular at Magic High School, Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun to name a few from recent memory. No Game No Life is the only one to use this style that didn't totally offend me. almost, if not all, of these were from the 2010s tho, some of them at the first half of the decade at that |

| 1970s I think, from what I remember some anime looked like Disney's Peter Pan, The Sword in the Stone and The Little Mermaid. |
 |
| I’d say I’m pretty good with all art styles. Maybe early to mid 2000s, the transition to digital animation wasn’t exactly smooth and I feel that this era best represents that. |

None of those are styled like the Disney movies you mentioned. Only loosely at best. I wish any looked as good. |
| The older it is, the uglier it gets. That's all I can say. |
| 2000 art style is ugly. I don't like it. |

| most people will say "2000s DigItaL bAd" but it's way better and actually good and well detailed unlike the travesty that is the 2010s onwards barley detailed very generic and way too copy pasted designs oversaturatedly lighten and with terrible color contrast that it can make me go blind background have no detail at all and look terrible |

Stop erecting your pretense on me please. I agree with that guy 2010s anime designs look really bad,generic,barley detailed,copy basted and brightley lit to the point of making me almost go blind at least the 2000s art style is detailed,nice,unique and has good lightning and there was variety unlike the copy pasted 1 or 2 styles of the 2010s and hey there was an effort to make the backgrounds look nice world of narue and love hina have actually good and better artstyles than most of 2010s onwards anime and that's embarising and while 80s tv anime is rough the movies and ovas of the 80s look very good to this day and still better than the 2010s onwards artstyle |

Sounds like he was making a joke but damn i can't tell. Also if you've watched anime like s.Cry.ed you'll know what I'm referring to. There's a wave of anime during the 2000s that looks garbage. But sure to each their own, I won't judge. |

No offense but either you're gonna shove what's 'good' into people's mouth or agree to disagree. I don't have much else to add. |

| The awkward period in the mid 2000 is probably the worst |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Imo 2010s got the most generic and soulless character design. |
 |
| 10s has a lot less variety in character design and background design. Everyone is just trying the meta now, choosing the safest art style and the easiest to draw backgrounds. 00s had more variety in both areas, although the move to digital wasn't an easy one. The 90s is probably my favorite decade for anime. So many different art styles; Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Giant Robo, Ninja Scrolls and Slayers. |
_Maneki-Neko_ said: The 2000s Clannad-style that was seen in a lot of other anime too. They look like their eyes are kinda melting out of their face and I just can't ... also all of these romance-drama with artstyles like these got incredibly annoying female characters. ididnothingwrong said: Clannad. When 70 percent of your head is made of soul piercing eyes, Nightmare fuel is born. It's not only that they are too big and that there is almost no white from the eye. The lower eyelid is far too inclined, when it shouldn't be. Also some 90s and art styles from old shoujos. What is this ...  I think this video sums it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qByKEu0zdco At least there's one good thing. It's now associated with 2000s era electronic music, so I guess I can find good tunes by looking at the art style in the thumbnail |
| the awkward transition from the late 90's cel animation to the early 2000 all digital animation, the software and techniques just weren't ready and refined as they would have becme later in time. |

| I'd say whatever era we're going through now is the ugliest. It's so bland and lacks character. The most common answer I've seen here is the 'Clannad' art style, but at least it has character. You can kind of tell what kind of anime they're from just because of their big ol' bug eyes, meanwhile I can barely tell anime today apart. The romance anime look just like the action. |
 |
Everybody saying the 90s and 2000s are the worst have no taste smh. I'd personally have to go with the 2020s. Even with what little we've seen of this decade's aesthetics, so far it still seems lacking. |

| The current one with the 3d characters and graphics.. It doesn't look like anime and the motion is all weird doesn't look natural.. |
