OK this might be a stupid and irrelevant thread to most people. But if this does feel relevant to you , do you feel that some characters hair cut/design seems to irritate or put you off the character.

Male MC's who have long hair or pony tails tends to make me dislike their look ( they sometimes look like a girl ) . I know its judgmental and stupid.
No offence to anyone IRL who has long hair as a male, this only irritates me in anime.

It doesn't put me off the anime at all, I will like the character as long as they are good but is just one of the things I am picky about . I just want to know if this is the same for others. Or I'm just the weird one here.

Some examples of Character Hairstyles I kinda disliked but nevertheless still like them are Issei Highschool DxD , Kuroh K Project , Freed Faily tail .

If some hairstyles irritate you , say which characters and their design and explain why .

You are one Picky Mo Trucka. Nothing wrong in being picky about something. I do hate the odd male character who has better looking hair then me IRL LOOOOOL .

Atsushi and Kunikida from Bungou Stray Dogs. One has a weird pony tail thing, the other is a lowkey Skrillex.

I agree with the long hair.

Also sometimes when they have really pointy hair like Naruto or Natsu it kind of puts me off depending on how it's drawn. Like if they have outrageous detail put into spikes in their hair and then pretend it's just how their hair goes naturally.

Katsura has long hair which means that's automatically best hairstyle.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Absolutely.. This is one of those few things in anime that I really dislike.

If some hairstyles irritate you , say which characters and there design and explain why .

Basically any male character with sharp facial features, eyes and edgy hairstyle.
Also all of them have that arrogant look on their faces. I can't stand such designs!

Recently I've started to dislike spiky hair on MCs. They kind of feel like a failed attempt to make the characters look cool (in shounen stuff)

Personally I like long hair on characters regardless of gender. A sexy hair style makes the character more appealing visually in my opinion and with long hair you can be more creative. So I actually get more annoyed when characters cut their hair like Shun did

Does bald count? It's the absence of hair so I guess it wouldn't count as a hair style, which implies hair is being styled... I don't know. The great debate.

Sometimes hair that seems like it'd be difficult to have in real life bothers me as a cosplayer who might want to cosplay as a certain character.

I don't drop anime due to hairstyle, probably because I don't even bother watching anime with bad hairstyles. I can't stand long haired men(except for the fabulous Katsura), especially when they're in ponytails.

I'm all over this.

Also, I guess I'm not keen on Shounen Protag hair- Gon, Yugi, Goku...what is with the ridiculous spikey hair- it's clearly a health hazard?! You could impale a man with those hairdos.

Then there's Saitama who has no hair at all lol.

Please, please, please anime and manga gods give me a male Shounen protagonist with long hair...can someone please find one for me?
I'll be all up on that shit

No. Most late night anime guys have normal, mundane, and brown hair. Far more tolerable than the likes of Inazuma Eleven, Bakugan, or Yugi-Oh where the hair seems capable of killing people.

Shit I forgot about him.
Yes, I have watched Inuyasha and I know he has long hair but it's still got that crappy look...I always thought his bangs looked detachable as a kid.
I dunno, his hair hasn't got that cool vibe goin' on y'know.
I don't understand how two brothers with long white hair could come out looking so damn different.

How can one look so suave with it whilst the other looks like he's been attacked by an angry barber?






I wish they used Sesshoumaru's design for the protagonist; he looks so much cooler.
Damn me and my pickiness...who knew we could go into such great depths about hair? XD

It's probably that 100% pure demon blood that makes Sesshoumaru so much sexier then his half brother.
Also only other characters I can think of right now that has long hair is Gourry

Hopefully assuming you don't mind his hair covering half his face a lot of the time

and also one of my favorite characters Yuji who gets long hair in season 3

Thanks!! Goury looks better than Inuyasha, so it's a start. And I really have been meaning to watch Shakugan no Shana for years, so maybe that's a heads up (no pun intented) ^^

The generic droopy hair on male MC's in harems and ecchi anime. Like Kirito, that guy from Asterisk War, that guy from Black Bullet. They all look the same man.

I tend to like MCs with the little bang lying on the ridge of their noses. I just find it attractive. I just like the simplicity, it's cute. I like it when it's kinda rough around the head, lol. Like this:



When the hairstyle is spiky as hell and defies the laws of gravity and/or looks ridiculous, I don't like it. I hate it especially when I focus more on the character's hair than the character himself because of the attention the hair demands. I can't handle shit like this:

Nagisa form Ass Class is one of my fav characters, but his default hair bothers me in an odd way. I like it best when he lets it down, but I would also be fine with it being shorter. Just this awkward middle ground that annoys me.

I personally hate long haired bishounens. Just put some boobs in his chest and boom, you have successfully created a girl.

Long haired men should look more like Byakuya who still retains his manliness with his fabulous hair.

I have only ever known attraction to men with long hair, so my comment is going to be a direct opposal to the original poster's claim. Long haired males just have this air about them... it is both pure, sophisticated, and wild. It depicts a sense of freedom, and it represents natural beauty.
