What anime do you think has the best art and why? What do you think of some of the other peoples choices you see?
| The best art I've seen is in Bakemonogatari. It's just.... how to say it, different? Guilty Crown comes in at a close second. I'll also include Redline as it was also very different from your norm. |

Yes, realistic is the first thing that comes to mind. Forgot Jin-Roh, that anime has a pretty unique art style. |

| As for unique style? I thought Casshern sins had an awesome style that really stood out, and was just cool to me. Reason? I'm not too sure, it was just cool. Some people use it as an excuse to hate the show, but I love it. I think it makes the show truly unique. Someone else mentioned Redline- I've been planning to watch that for a while now, and I have to get to it because the art really does look sick. |

| Wow, I would have to say that I love Brave 10 and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's artwork. The artwork is just so clean. I love it. |
 |
| The best Artwork ever - Vampire Hunger D - Bloodlust - simply because it's done by Yoshitaka Amano (the guy behind ff's character designs) simply amazing. The best animation goes to Macross Sayonara no Tsubasa - regardless of how crap it is the blu ray is mindblowing Redline was intensely crap by the way |
| Probably Guilty Crown or Magi, not sure what to say when you ask me why.. I just like the art :> |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Another - It had a dark feel to it that suited the anime so well, really made me aware that I was viewing a horror anime. Fate/Zero - Everything just blended so well and the colours really worked to bring out the character's ideals like how the gold on Gilgamesh complimented his arrogant personality. Kara no Kyoukai - There was just so much detail throughout the films especially during the fight scenes, the artwork was simply stunning. Steins;Gate - The artwork was unique, the colouring and designs were very appealing to me personally and it just felt like something I could look at for hours without growing tired. |
| Avatar has the best sword art online because One Piece rules Naruto. |
 |
| Haven't see a ton of newer stuff but; Macross Frontier - Best by far, everything is done so well, especially the movies Redline - You can tell the incredible amount of work put into this, didn't like the style at first but loved it by the end. Macross DYRL - It amazes me how great this still looks after 30 years Bakemonogatari - Just started it, but so far have been very impressed by the eye candy |
| Although the anime its self is not good, Angel Beats has the best art style I've seen. |
 |
| Probably something like Revolutionary Girl Utena. The art style and how it's used is absolutely essential to the story this show tells. I'm not really one to let art/animation be a defining factor in my impression of a series, but Utena stands tall for me. |

| Halo Legends - The Duel May not be the best - but i absolutley loved the watercolor style. Very unique and different Pictures |

Jin-roh deserves a mention too. I agree with Jin Roh and GITS 1995 movie. They do have incredible artwork and char design. But the 2000 GITS SAC is a step down-grade compares to the original movie in terms of char designs and art, as well as over-used cheap CGI. I'm disappointed in you Production IG! :( I did like the CG in SAC. It's pretty good (speciallly in the tachikoma in fast paced actions scenes), at least in comparison. I kinda a agree with art part: it has some beautiful effects in backgrounds and in the action scenes, but being from '95, it doesn't look as clean and sharp as SAC. As for char designs, aside from Motoko, the rest of the cast looks pretty much the same... maybe cleaner (the 10 year difference at work). The movie's definitely aged well for sure.

Haha touchè To this day, I'm still wondering why did they put that there. So out of place. My theory is that while Kamiyama wasn't looking some troll animator slipped that there, too late for the team to remove it. There's another one in the first chapter of the first season. But let's not let some fanservice moments invalidate the whole char design of the show. |

lupadim said: Another list topic *sigh* Fate/Zero Of all people to say this, it's you? Oh boy. Also, I'd say probably the Monogatari series, Panty and Stocking w/ Garterbelt, and maybe FLCL. Each of these is pretty unique, and consistently good. I can't remember a time in any of these shows (even in Bakemonogatari when the characters just talked and talked and didn't stop talking) when I could take my eyes off of the screen. Edit: I totally forgot Redline. To quote my favourite anime review guy, "it can only be described as sexual intercourse with your eyes." |
| I'm surprised that I'm one of the few who picked ef as the one with the best art. So I guess I'm kinda wrong with that? I mean, I've seen people talking about Bakemonogatari (same director as ef), and a lot others talking about "strange" animation styles and quite unusual artistic choices... So I'm wondering if ef is simply too much overrated on that point of view. I mean, I kinda get chills in scenes like this one: |

| I love most of P.A. Works art style. (ex. Angel Beats!, Another, Tari Tari, Hanasaku Iroha) Just beautiful artwork. |

Don't even get me started on the glasses girl.... I normally say that art isn't a big deal for me. But, man, this kind of makes me rethink things. |

They're not even even trying. |

| Mardock Scramble was the first thing to come to mind. More of a personal favorite but still great in terms of animation and art. Sad to see no Redline. |

Sceles said: Hanasaku Iroha or Fate/Zero, both look so good that it's hard to decide between them. I do not prefer any certain artistic style over another, these two just have so much detail that other animes just pale in comparison. Hanasaku Iroha is a real front runner it's simply beautiful - everything about it is beautiful lol |
| Madoka Magica. Mainly for the area where they go to fight witches at always seemed to look nice. Also, I haven't watched it yet, but I heard Redline had insanely nice art. |

| 5 Centimeters per Second - it has superb scenery porn and you can't get any better than those magnificent 1080p cherry blossoms. |

| Who cares about those ugly skanks. They ain't got nothing on Kasuga. |
| Question 1) Death Note, Baccano! and Darker than Black have the most appealing art to me, so they're ''the best'' in my opinion. Question 2) Aniplex's works are mentioned here often, but I think they use same kind of art & aniimation way too commonly |
SwiftKilla said: Sword Art Online. Yes, that's right SAO. In this thread we're not focusing on plot, we're focusing on the art/animation/graphics. It's outstanding, gorgeous, and one of the main strengths that makes SAO a really enjoyable anime. I believe that F/Z does this job better. But I do say that SAO has a nice scenery porn. |
