| Well Violet Evergarden almost had no plot but still it's visuals and character development did the trick. So it's a tough choice for me. Maybe I'll still go for the story. |
| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| Katanagatari does both, so I choose...Katanagatari. |
| Depends on your defintion of visually stunning,because artstyle is pretty subjective.Some people will prefer an anime with a simple artstyle but that's really sakuga-heavy,while other people will prefer an anime that looks more detailed but has less actual animation.Artstyle kind of takes a backseat when the anime gets me really invested. |
 |
| There’s a lot with both factors so it’s not necessary to debate the topic. |
| A great story, but both together even better. |
 |
| Visuals are nice and all but if it’s a shit story with shit characters then it’s a shit anime. |
 |
| A great story is most important for me. |
| I think I need both, though I lean more towards a great story. |
 |
| My opinion is the same as the comment above me |
 |
| I can get over shit art, when the story is entertaining to me. However not the other way around. That doesnt mean I don't care about pretty visuals - I do. I esp. love the use of bright colors. But that means nothing, if the story/characters bore me to death. |
| Story is more important to me. Redline is a good example of a visually impressive anime with a lackluster story. 5/10 |
 |
| Neither, to be honest.. I prefer characters the most.. Them being interesting, enjoyable, relatable, or other.. |
| both, more so the story to be frank. Shitty visuals can bring down a show just as much as a poor storyline. |
 |
| Visuals on their own mean absolutely nothing but combined with stellar directing and sound design it can absolutely make up for a subpar story. I prefeer both although: characters > story and visuals. |
| I think directing is more important than either, as well as the overall script. I think I value both the same, as I can’t sit through an anime with a mediocre story with fantastic visuals or an anime with a phenomenal story but bland visuals |
 |
| I'm guessing visual directing is part of the former, then they're both almost equally important really. |
 |
| why not both? but seriously when the anime has a charming or decent character design i'm almost sold. and i will always prefer a good story about visual effects. |
