| What anime has the worst art style and animation and what anime has the best? to me: best - Shingeki no kyojin - I really like this art style, especially character drawings  worst - Berserk (2016) - My eyes were hurting while watching this, firstly - practically everything in this show is CGI, which I (and probably everyone) don't like and secondly - animations are so poorly animated, it looks like some low-budget fan work |
| Best - All arts by Akio Watanabe (Monogatari Series, Grisaia no Kajitsu etc) and Takashi Takeuchi (Fate, Kara no Kyoukai) Worst - Probably 7 Seeds's art (Although, the manga art is decent), but the anime animation and style seems really poor Imo. Also, most of the CGI's anime, not my cup of tea. (Tho Beastars and Ajin are good). |

| inb4 Aku No Hana because its rotoscoping animation when some 2D animation right now like from ufotable and Gundam Unicorn for example uses rotoscoping of 3D animation/models a lot |
| (don't conflate art style with animation please lol triggered n shiz) I don't have a least favorite art style, but animation? Definitely Berserk 2016. I don't think the art style itself was bad. I just think the animation and CG is. Remember, bad animation disrupts the stability and consistency of the art style. In 2016, CG animation in terms of anime was highly untrained and just overall looked jarring as hell. Overall, I think Berserk is made for 2D animation in terms of adaptation. I mean, shit, look at this art. That looks phenomenal to me, but... when in motion... It's a real shitload of fuck. I think Studio Orange is making some of the best steps of translating 2D style to 3D with the likes of Land of the Lustrous and Beastars, which have both phenomenal art and CG animation. There are scenes that even look like 2D animation. Some earlier steps include the likes of Oban Star Racers, which 15 years ago had pretty damn good CG. Even the original draft/short animation of Oban from 2001, which had CG animation, was very impressive for its time. Yaoyorozu and TMS Entertainment also has some pretty good CG animation. Although it was obviously 3D, a good start to translation 2D to 3D. Also, some are just blatantly 3D, but done well. In terms of favorite art style, definitely everything in my favorites, but Love Live! is at the top because of just how personally impactful the series is to me. Anyway, here are some. |

| Best: Gundam Thunderbolt December Sky Worst: Can't think of one. |
| My least favourite art styles would be from Ping Pong, Zankyou no Terror, Devilman Crybaby and Tatami Galaxy. I enjoy almost all other art styles that are not similar to those of the ones mentioned above. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Worst animation is the opening sequence of twinkle nora or any anime by ilca. Worst art style is alexander senki. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I think that Kizumonogatari movies are a masterpiece in terms of animation and art style, i just love it, it just seems so unique and good looking. |
 |
| people hating on 3D animation when in a few more years it will improve and become so much cheaper than 2D animation thanks to Moores Law and AI/machine learning so 3D animation is the future 2.5D animation style is the future hopefully though like Land of Lustrous as already been said |
| It's kinda hard for me to pin down tbh. I like the more abstract styles like any given Shinbou or Yuasa show, but I think my favourite is something more grounded in reality, but with a lot of detail and colour. As for the worst, same problem. The best I can think up is anything that looks like it was made on an assembly line. I wish I could get more specific than that. Anyway, here's a screenshot from Fuuka which hopefully communicates my point better than my words can. |
| Best: Kara no Kyoukai Film series Worst: Dr.Stone |
| Ur never gonna find an answer for worst animation lol. The worst animation is the type that makes it not a watchable show. Y'all can just mention shows u didn't like, and a particular part abt the animation production may have put u off more, and that makes sense. For me, Violet Evergarden is easily the most visually pleasing show I've ever seen. Almost all KyoAni shows have a very high production quality in the visual front, so I'll leave it as just that for now from that studio. Just kidding, I have to mention A Silent Voice too because that was amazing. Madhouse has always delivered, but One Punch Man and No Game No Life stand head and shoulders above the rest in animation and art, respectively. Attack on Titan is really good at its depiction of the world and setting, and has amazing fight scenes. The bold line character designs really pleased me. Hopefully MAPPA brings the heat in the visual department as well with the coming season. Obviously, there's a ton more, but I'm lazy and this is all I can think of rn. |

 I think that Princess Connect! Re:Dive has both the best art style and animation, for now. Usually the anime in which Cygames is involved have very high quality and this time they've made something really excellent. » View Opening » View Ending |
| Best: AOT, Mob Psycho, OPM S1, Megalo Box Worst: Onara Gorou I guess |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| I agree with Shingeki no Kyojin Worst: Tower of God |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Best Animation: Redline . HM: Akira Worst Animation: Other than probably the obscure, 1-man, 1 episode shorts...probably Vampire Holmes Best Art style: If this is more referring to character design, then Digimon, given the variety and volume of its designs. If this is a more generalized, I'd probably go with Katanagatari. Worst Art style: Hard to say. Off the top of my head, I guess Kemonozume |
 |
| To me the best was FSN heaven feels the animation was so good. The worst one was Nanatsu no Taizai(season 3) my hope on season 3 was very high I was expecting the Escanor vs Meliodas I was very hype on it but when I watch a few episodes of it before Escanor vs Meliodas the animation was pretty shitty and so I waited and when the it was about to happen I literally scream like wtf just happened to the animation so I hope the animation will went well on the next season I don't want to be disappointed again. |
 |
| i did like assassination classroom's crisp art style, brought something just slightly unique to the table. and I dont have an art style i dislike because i'm here watching anime looking for a dam good story and not caring too much about the art- sure it elevates it to high levels but at the end of the day that's far from my focus. But yeah if i had to choose an art style i didn't really prefer that would be isekai animation in general, bland stuff man. at least no game no life changed it up a bit with those bright colors... oh my eyes |
  NYANPASU  5700XT |
| worst art style that i saw was the anime version of Aku no Hana. if you compare it to the evolution of the manga's drawing from start to finish. animes made by kyoto animation and ufotable were great. |
 |
| Ping Pong has a hideous and ugly artstyle but the animation is superb. 5 star stories has an incredible animation, the best in the bussiness, it helps that it's a OVA, the creators had time to make it. The artstyle is too shoujo for my taste but it looks gorgeus. |
    |
| Best Animation: ufotable shows (Fate series, KnY), Mob Psycho 100 (and other Bones shows) Worst Animation: anything CGI Best Art: No Game No Life Worst Art: From what I've seen, I don't like the art in Science SARU shows at all. Regardless of whether the anime is actually good or not, I would hesitate watching an anime by that studio. |

| Best: Some good ones have already been mentioned, like Shingeki no kyojin and Ping Pong, but I am quite a fan of Eizouken, the art style and animation really makes the anime have a fun feeling. Worst: It's hard to choose a single anime, but I really hate all 3DCG anime. And no matter what anyone says about Houseki no Kuni or Beastars cannot change my mind. |
 I have the whole scale, I'm gonna use the whole scale. |
| worst: Ping Pong. best: Ping Pong. . |
| Best: Kimi no Na wa. No debate Worst: Tower of God, Ping Pong the animation, Berserk 2016, any Chinese 3DCG xue hua piao piao animation, One Piece, Devilman Crybaby etc. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Best: Of course KyoAni dumping all of these plebs, Makoto Shinkai stuff, and Oregairu new art style. Worst: Probably Madoka, the rest of the show I watched has at least a decent art style. |
| Best art style for me is Attack on Titan, Violet Evergarden was also great I like this realistic look. Worst : I am not sure about that but it coming first to the mind because I watching it right now: Jojo first season, I hope it getting better later. I watched first 8 jojo episodes and for now I would say its more ambitious Chargeman Ken ( no offense for fans) . |
ReegrezSNKSep 14, 2020 11:47 PM
Best: Studio Ghibli. The backgrounds are absolutely beautiful and there's so much detail.  Worst: Abunai Sisters. Just look at these character designs. |
| There's your usual good answers like AOT and Kyoani which are really well done shows but I'm also fan of the sketchy style like the art used is Megalo Box. I'm a bit of Gintama fanboy but one thing i really like about the art in Gintama is the fact that all the characters body's are proportionate to their age. The worst I've seen is probably Kingdom. Although the Story is amazing and I gave season 2 a 10/10, the art and animation is pretty garbage. I kinda got used to it but someone who is picky about that kinda thing would throw a fit! |
“EL PSY CONGROO!!!” ― Hououin Kyouma |
| IMO: Best animation: -Nasume yuujinchou (also art) -Fate -Denpa-tenki na kanojo (also art) -Kino no tabi -Bungou stray dogs (also art) Best art: -Mahou shoujo Madoka Magica (also animation) -Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie -Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge -Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume Worst animation: -Armed Blue Gunvolt -Ao Oni The Animation (Movie) Worst art: -Kimetsu no yaiba -Boku no hero academia |
| "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." -Kino's Journey |
| best art syle imo come from kyoto animation like koe no katachi and violet evergarden. Ad the worst art style Ore ga Suki nano |

TopCute said: Yess, totally agree. The best art in 2020. The one that really impress me is the lightning so detailed and the coloring so good. Also the scenery polished very good and the tone of the anime so relaxing. I really enjoy my time. Well, yes Cygames made good high quality anime but this is just simply their best.I think that Princess Connect! Re:Dive has both the best art style and animation, for now.

| The anime that has the best art style in my opinion is either Mononoke or The Tatami Galaxy I don't really have an art style I hated so I don't know if there's a worst for me. |

deg said: inb4 Aku No Hana because its rotoscoping animation when some 2D animation right now like from ufotable and Gundam Unicorn for example uses rotoscoping of 3D animation/models a lot I thought what was so great about the visual style of Aku no Hana wasn't the rotoscoping itself, but rather the way it was in complete service of the programme's atmosphere. The uncanny valley aesthetic emphasised the awkwardness and discomfort Kasuga felt in his own skin, and the vagueness of the characters' facial features accentuated the issues of insecurity and identity that they (especially Kasuga) wrestled with (although this was probably more of a practical issue rather than a purely artistic choice). So I wouldn't praise the rotoscoping as such, but it was so effective in this instance, it provided one of the most aesthetically distinct experiences I've had with animation. I also liked Serial Experiments Lain in this regard - the character designs struck a good balanced between realism and caricature, creating a similar (but distinct) sense of discomfort to Aku no Hana, and the colours were pale and muted, conjuring a sense that the world we were occupying was fragile and ephemeral. It struck a suitably eerie tone. Probably my favourite piece from any animated medium all things considered. |

deg said: ye i agree its not the rotoscoping itself is the complain of fans but the characters are not waifu looking lol like they even rotoscope directly the faces of the live action actors/actresses Yeah, I think it's a shame that the art style seemed to be so coldly received, seemingly because it didn't rely on a more standard anime visual style. To me, this was a strength that elevated the series beyond what it might have otherwise been |
| The best art style is just about anything by Leiji Matsumoto. The worst is just about anything not done by Leiji Matsumoto. |
 |
| Attack on Titan and Haikyuu!! have art styles that are both realistic, distinct, but also cartoony. Love, love, love Demon Slayer's art and animation. Oreimo's art style is the cutest. Recently, Code Geass's animation was pretty ugly to me. Also I dislike the Konosuba art style for some reason. All the characters seem ugly instead of attractive. Beserk has a great art style, the recent anime's CGI animation is just the worst though. Also or it is just me, but has the animation in Haikyuu!!'s recent episodes been worst lately? |
 |
| The best art is from 80s futuristic OVAs - Macross, Dirty Pair, Megazone, Dominion. The worst - Naruto fillers and new Berserk. Edit: how could I forget about Twinkle Nora lol. just look at this (it's not lagging or something, it's the actual animation) |
