| Now you could be thinking, what do I mean by visual quality? What I mean is that what anime looks the most visually pleasing? Not only just taking animation into account, maybe it has stunning, realistic background art, or had an art style that was unique and stood out to you, or had lots of crazy, digital effects that just looks simply amazing. I'd like to hear your thoughts. |

| I'd honestly say One Room, it actually looks very pleasing. The only thing though it kinda has that sort of eerie feeling because there's literally only 1 character present in the entirety of it, it kinda feels like there's no one else in the world so to speak Other than that proper shows would be Violet Evergarden, shoutout to AntiMagic Academy Most appealing alcohol though has to go to Tatami Galaxy/Night is Short |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I think kimi no nawa too. I was amazed to see the quality of his art and animation. |
| 1. Garden of Words 2. Any Shaft Anime (Especially Ef a tale of memories) 3. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood |
| Surely Violet Evergarden :-! Is there any objection ? xD |
 |
| Kara no Kyoukai Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal Bakemonogatari Haruhi Movie Houseki no Kuni Texhnolyze Tatami Galaxy Made in Abyss ... and a few more |
 |
| Redline gets my vote on that one, a movie that took 7 years of production time |
| Angels Egg is visually stunning, I'd say it's a contender. |
| One Punch Man season 1. People died making that anime. lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VctvUfebTao ohh the nightmares still haunt me to this day... |

| I never lie on the internet. What's the point of it... the chinese noodles ad is an anime and avatar isn't! triggered Check out my taste and my profile. |
| If you include movies i would say Redline without a doubt, if we talk about series i would say Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster. |
| Utena (Tv), The opening especially gets me Rurouni Kenshin trust and betrayal Omoide poroporo |
 ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 愛してる *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ |
| My top 10 anime with the best visuals would be these: 1.) Violet Evergarden (hands down the most visually pleasing anime, and no objection here) 2.) Kimi no na Wa (better visuals than Koe no Katacchi, but latter has the better story) 3.) Monogatari Series (especially Bakemonogatari and Owarimonogatari) 4.) Kara no Kyoukai (7>5>2>the rest) 5.) Hyouka 6.) Kyoukai no Kanata (another proof of how KyoAni makes eyegasmic series) 7.) Koe no Katachi 8.) Kotonoha no Niwa (Makoto Shinkai movies tend to have great visuals as well) 9.) Nagi no Asukara 10.) Houseki no Kuni Honorable mentions (in no order) for me: K-Project Hibike Euphonium Series Fate (Heaven's Wheel 2>UBW>Zero) Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko Ancient Magus' Bride Sora yori mo Toi Basho Your Lie in April Death Parade Made in Abyss Madoka Magica |

Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? |
| I agree with many here, Violet Evergarden was gorgeously animated... most of KyoAni's recent works are good examples of high quality animation. Studio Ghibli movies like Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited away are also incredible. Honorable mentions for Makoto Shinkai movies too. I exactly don't know what it is but the details, the realistic-smooth movements, the scenery and the angles they use to make every scene look outstandingly beautiful... all that make those works candy for the eyes. |
CordobezEverdeen said: One Punch Man season 1. People died making that anime. lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VctvUfebTao ohh the nightmares still haunt me to this day... Meh, still doesn't look that bad to be honest. |
| It's already been said several times, but Violet Evergarden is definitely the most visually pleasing anime. I honestly can't think of any other anime that is even half as beautiful to look at. |

ahneeme said: not fair to include movies since the visual quality of a movie is much higher than a tv show that is true if that is the case then i pick almost all of Kyoto Animation TV anime works |

Wastedmylife2020 said: No objection here! I absolutely agree. Yeah... Violet Evergarden was freaking stunning. That's my number 1. I'll throw Cowboy Bebop and even Death Parade into the mix as well, for honorable mention. |
| Just off the top of my head: Tatami Galaxy Any recent Ufotable Typemoon works LWA has some breathtaking scenes Mob Psycho season 1 and season 2 were amazing Apocrypha was really inconsistent in literally every way, but the Karna vs Sieg fight was a piece of art I'll probably never forget Kimi no na Wa's animation is very strong all together No Game No Life is really beautiful Nagi no Asukara is absolutely stunning |

| Violet Evergarden Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo kazarou Mob Psycho Gankutsuo Made in Abyss Ping Pong the Animation |
 |
| Violet Evergarden and Hibike! Euphonium. Both made by the same studio - Kyoto MasterAnimation. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| SHAFT stuff uFotable stuff Kyoto Animation stuff (especially Violet Evergarden) Shinkai, Makoto stuff (especially "Kotoba No Niwa") Probably Bleach is style wise my all time fav (especially by the end of the series) "K" stuff "Mahoutsukai No yome" Probably plenty of more that I cannot remember at the current moment. |
 |
| Cossette no Shouzou is my 11/10 audio visual aesthetic. some other things i think deserve a mention Tatami galaxy (or really any works by masaaki yuuasa) Kanashimi no Belladonna Mob 2 Shaft shows but especially monogatari (also im a huge fangirl of the shaft aesthetic so) |
 |
| almost any anime by shaft, bones, Kyoani, ufotable, gainax, trigger & C-Station looks visually beautiful |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| Kind of busy to research all my list for this...but eventually some movies from studios like Production IG, MadHouse, Bones, Gainax, Sunrise and Ghibli. |
| I would say, (without counting movies and ufotable productions), probably No Game No Life and Nagi no Asu kara. Those 2 are pretty pleasing. Also shotout to the recent Alicization adaptation, holy shit those were sick animations and visuals, kinda ufotable level. |
 ❅Aoishi❅ ✿My Profile ✿MyAnimeList ✿MyMangaList |
| I'm a big fan of bold colour schemes and weird ways to use them, so taking that into account.... 1) Bakemonogatari 2) The Eccentric Family (especially the night scenes) 3) Gankutsuou (for a really interesting aesthetic I haven't really seen anywhere else) Also, not an anime, but honourable mention to the later parts of JoJo's for being just so darned beautiful |
| This is a toughie, Kizumonogatari was the first that came to mind. I really love its style! Though it could probably change at any day, like to Mushishi, Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel, A Silent Voice, The Wind Rises, Mob Psycho 100 S2 and the list goes on and on xD |
| Character design - Zetsuen no Tempest (expressions) Background - Shingeki no Kyoujin (landscape) Animation - Violet EverGarden (fights) Overall - Mahou Tsukai no Yome (quality art) |
 |
| Kizumonogatari - everything visual (and sound-wise too) is absolutely crazy. The story is hit or miss, just like the whole series (I love it so much). |

Mythologically said: Nothing could ever hope to compare to Violet Evergarden. It was said after Hyouka. It was said after Hibike! Euphonium. It is now being said after Violet Evergarden. Maybe we will be surprised by Nijuuseiki Denki Mokuroku, who knows! We are talking about Kyoto MasterAnimation here after all! |

| I can't really answer that question if you want me to take every aspect into account. Some of my favorite background art ever is from stuff like Akage no Anne or Ie Naki Ko which have decent animation, but definitely not comparable to the best animated anime. My favorite designs are from other shows, and the best animation I've seen from other ones still. But one thing you can't go very wrong with is Akira. Great designs, great artstyle, mechanical designs and background details, fantastic animation. Definitely top tier in every regard. Similar things can be said about Redline or a lot of other movies tho, for example the Ghibli ones- |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| So far only I have mentioned Garden of Words and Ef a tale of memories. These shows are the best visually. Garden of Words is more visually pleasing than Kimi no Nawa. |
| I feel like Non Non Biyori deserves to be mentioned. Those backgrounds are just gorgeous and the anime overall is just so soothing. |
Minerbit said: I think kimi no nawa too. I was amazed to see the quality of his art and animation. I would agree with this! someone told me that if he had a money to tour japan and the first place he would visit is the stairways <: |
| Angel Beats of course And Hyouka Abcdefg |
| People always complain about dumb topics that return often. This and it's manga equivalent is one of my TOP dumb topics. There is no such thing as anime with the best visuals. There are many different kind of stories which requires many different approach to artwork and animation which are equally good on a fundamentally different way. |
