For me, it'd have to be piercings and tattoos.   |

| leather jackets. swords. unique hairstyles. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Hair vents and hair drills, preferably of white color Also, eyebags |
Im not a retrofanboy, but I wish some anime recreated old school designs. Specially the 90s ones that look like this: or this:  |
| :v |
More abstract and unique villain designs.   |
| I want to see more crazy/unique hairstyles. I don't know about anyone else, but a lot of the hairstyles I see are pretty basic. Stuff I've seen in dozens of anime and Japanese games. |
Girls with short, chopped hair. Like Eureka's second design in Eureka Seven. They don't have to have no eyebrows though. I just really like the character designs in that show.  |
Emotionless lolis with long white hair.   |
 |
| Nothing too specific, but I'd to see more character designs like some 80's and 90's OVAs. Say, like War in the Pocket. Frosteek said: Girls with short, chopped hair.

 |
| I just want a shitload more female Boxers, MMA fighters, and Wrestlers. It's my fetish.     |

| probably more OOTD design. i want more that rather than generic-pervy-fantasy-nonsense-female-armor-in-video-game-type. people call this boring but i love it so much. Xenoblade chronicles 3 > xenoblade chronicles 2 |
| The world needs more robots as actual characters |

GreyStoneFlinger said: More abstract and unique villain designs. Yes! I wouldn't mind more of that in anime. Makes me think of the angel designs from NGE which I've always been fond of. And as underwhelming as I thought "Jigokuraku" was that series did have some nice antagonist designs going for it - particularly with the more monstrous forms. |
|
| More asses... I'm an ass man.. They put too much focus on boobs and not nearly enough on ass |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| I want to see more tiny pink hair lolis like Anya-chan! |

| More female character design with navel exposed A male character with sunglasses and more well toned characters and I don't mean just a well toned chest plate that otherwise look like a pencil neck. I mean well toned abs and all |
Adding to my own thread to say that I also need more of this in anime:   This was already present in my previous examples but specifically I need more characters with black eyes and colored (slightly glowing) irises. |

| I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned sailor suit uniform Bring back 70s anime sideburns, crybaby did it now so pls make it cool again big baby doll eyes, I miss the 2000s fr man Love a bushy eyebrow always low pigtails berets masculine main male characters, I mean mainly in design there's not enough difference beween the girls and boys nowadays |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| Expressions on character's faces. For example, the only above average aspect of "Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san", was Shikimori's expression and nothing else. |
 |
| -Characters with long bottom lashes [Not the kind that look like spiders on their eyes, but ones that actually look good] -Shounen isekai & romance having their male MC look good looking/pretty too instead of him looking like the same generic clone boy. -More pink haired male characters  -More doll or marionette characters [Similar to how in “Rozen Maiden” a lot of the cast are dolls] -Characters with prosthetics [Honestly they don’t even need to be fancy or cool robot prosthetics or smtg, I’m fine with even the ball jointed ones like in “Black Butler”]  -More characters based of off/inspired by jesters  -Bigger eyebrows [Characters with eyebrows like Ryoko’s I mean]  -More male characters having Howl’s hairstyle [I don’t know it looks good]  -Just in general more unique character designs honestly (at least in fantasy & adventure stuff] -More female characters who wear poofy/pretty dresses into battles (& still kickass) [Like Sakura or other magical girl variants]   -Characters with more beauty marks -More characters with smoke pipes  |

| jacked bodies, for both men and women |
| more clean, shiny, fragrant and lickable armpits. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Crazier MC designs. so many anime have things like a skinny short brown hair guy as the lead or easy self insert characters, then everyone else is mental and has pink hair. They need some crazy ass funky MCs and maybe things like wings, it's not too often you see characters with wings and the ability to fly also more anime girls with really sexy feet where's the hot sexy foot anime girl women sexy foot ladies... |
| I like Közi a healthy amount. Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. This is no joke I'm really going to do it this time. |
| give me pompadours or give me death best character design optional yet encouraged: giant sideburns |
Definitely more neko girls, because they are the best! |

| Nose. I would like actual noses in anime. |
 |
Saiorno said: jacked bodies, for both men and women Yeah, I second this. Anime does need more muscle. |
|
you have my absolute full support 100% on this, I agree completely truly a wise request from one with taste |
Pompadours are pretty great. And looking through the list of examples had me realize I like a majority of those characters. Only one I'm not familiar with and the other one I don't care about. |

There does need to be more good-looking/pretty boys in shounen. I'm especially feeling the pink-haired male character and Howl hair thing as well. Beauty marks are also nice.

These are much better responses than the most of the ones I got the first time around (and even this time around). I'm onboard with a lot of these. |

| unique hairstyles and more colorful/unique outfits in sol anime |

| I want to see more experimental character design! Like some of the stuff coming out of Science SARU. Animes like Kuuchuu Buranko or Mononoke, even Mob Psycho! I love seeing different anime styles in character design. Also more darker skinned anime characters and a variety of races represented in anime. |
| desu desu binches |
I can't think of anything else, maybe more barefoot characters? Like Moroha, Fran, and Natasha- also with hats...   |

I love seeing different anime styles in character design. Also more darker skinned anime characters and a variety of races represented in anime. You had me with "Mononoke" and "Mob Psycho 100." And I know Science SARU does have an atypical look for anime given Masaaki Yuasa's involvement, but their visual difference has always been something that appealed to me and made them stand out amongst other animes. It would be nice to get more of that even though it seems like sometimes anime fans push back against it (like in the case with "Ping Pong the Animation" and I was surprised to hear from my brother that "Mob Psycho 100" also got a similar reception), but whatever. Anime should be more experimental. Also, I agree that there should be more dark skinned anime characters (and it shouldn't be just Japanese people who have a deep tan). |

| I just want more hard edged designs/looks over all the cutesy / moe' stuff. Buuuuuuuuuuut I know that's like trying to ice-skate uphill. Had to adapt to "accepting" what is |
| Just kill JoJo and anime will be saved. P.S. Goddess Stacia Asuna has the best design of all time. |

| I want more older girls with big babylons (18-35 area) And i want more men that act like actuall men. Tierd of seeing 90% of anime characters being goddy 2 shoes men that act like femboys, and young girls which ruin all fanservice |
 |
Do you like eroge? If so, may i recommend Tina from Saku Saku?  |
That one's on my backlog for that exact girl yes. I have a million VNs on there so not sure when/if I'd get to it though but sure she's cute. |
|
| Males with different body shapes in the same series without it being a personality trait. Can't think of any example. |
