| Ok, for me the main one has to be Clannad. The characters all look like bugs and Nagisa and her family look like cockroaches. Am I the only one seeing it? Another one is Kaiji. Their noses can literally cut through diamonds if they tried. What are your examples? |
| Everytime I look at that little guy in Accel World I think about Eric Cartman and I don't even know why. (;_;) |

| Your Lie in April - for a long time I was put off by the splash images. Eventually I watched it and found the story was excellent, giving it a pretty high rating, but I still think the art style of the characters is off-putting. |

Ramsey01maa said: Art style comes through in the character designs. The enormous eyes and huge bangs are part of the design of the character still as they are physical features of the character, so it's fair to criticize it under this thread. If the characters were in a drastically different art style their designs would change since certain features would need to change to suit it(such as having to remove a signature color of the eyes or a prominent nose).

It is even more uncanny valley when put next to normal looking characters ... like wtf is this?! Same. I am physically unable to watch Accel World because the main character looks like a pig. Literally and metaphorically. And what makes it worse is that Kuroyukihime is actually a good character but the match between her and Pig boy makes my mentally ill.  |

Nubiellee said: Everytime I look at that little guy in Accel World I think about Eric Cartman and I don't even know why. (;_;) He's actually almost the exact opposite, being bullied instead of doing the bullying, but still kind of an asshole in his own way. |
| I'd like to say I'm past that stage in my anime watching career where I judge things by their character designs...but there's one I still can't look past...and that's Ping Pong the Animation. But to be fair, I'm not really that big of a sports fan, so either way I'd probably still avoid it. weiss said: main character with huge breasts, that's a no go Also this, though I have looked past this a few times, and my definition of "huge" might differ from others. |
| K-On. I'll get past it someday and watch it because it seems like the sort of show I would like, but the artstyle does not feel like they're supposed to be high schoolers and something about how cutesy it is makes my stomach churn a little bit. I don't know why, I've seen plenty of moe shows and not had that problem, but something about how K-On does it just does not work for me. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Definitely Clannad, or anything designed by Itaru Hinoue for that matter. Air, Kanon, etc. The eyes just trigger an uncanny valley thing with me. And this is coming from a dude who loves weird character designs (such as those in Ping Pong). Idk, I can't get over it and never will. In fact, I purposefully spoiled all of Clannad for myself just so people would stop trying to convince me to watch it. |

| Anything that looks like those bug eyed mutants from Key anime. Cowtits are instant turn off. You know you've fallen low when even hentai from 90's and early 2000's have more realistic and aesthetic looking breasts than what you find in most anime these days. The hell are those, camel humps? Not a fan of those "bishie" character designs from anime like Rose of Versailles either.

| any super Moe designs, its just like when i highschooler looks like she belongs in kindergarten i cant do it. (most kyoani in general.....) but i also second the clannad shit! their eyes......sloping off to the sides of their heads like a wax museum in a heat wave |

| Character designs that put me off from a checking a show are super gay looking characters. |
 |
| Utena Clannad/Air/Kanon Accel World (like people pointed out, Pig Boy being drawn in a way that's totally different from Kuroyukihime) Code Geass (noodle people, even more so than usual for anime) Himouto Umaru-chan Kaiji and Akagi also not a fan of stuff that's just ridiculously moë-cutesy, but I at least put up with it enough to watch a number of shows with characters that look too young to be doing whatever they're doing (e.g. life and death situations) also not a fan of anything that looks super exaggerated |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Youjo Senki. I took one look at the character design on the poster and went "nope!" And every screenshot of the show since then has given me that same feeling. Please tell me you guys see it too, that it's not just me. She is fucking hideous. |
| Never really, as long as i like the story premise i at least check it out. |

Please tell me you guys see it too, that it's not just me. She is fucking hideous. Isn't it technically a 'he'? But yeah, she looks weird in the face, especially those eyes but otherwise doesn't put me off to be honest with you. Just looks like a weird duck. |
| Panty and Stocking is one I can never watch. I just hate that sort of artwork and I can't watch western cartoons like that. As for the woman in the purple top posted, I have 2 friends with natural boobs bigger than that so it's hardly unrealistic although they should sit a bit further down the chest. |

| Not counting anime like: Seikaisuru Kado, High Score Girl and Hand Shakers. Overlord, Ansatsu kyoushitsu, Boku no hero academia get a pass, because their stories are brilliant. Then: 1.Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 2.Mob Psycho 100 3.Kaze ga Tsuyoku 4.Piano no Mori 5.Happy sugar life 6.Sora yori mo tooi basho and Plastic memories 7.18if 8.Tsuki ga Kirei 9.ACCA 10.Lance N' Masques and Clockwork Planet 11.Orange and Ao Haru Ride 12.Ping pong and Aku no hana 13.Maken-Ki II and Kanokon and Ladies vs Butlers 14.Wizard Barristers and Mezzo DSA And others. |

| Made in Abyss . I just cant get past the way the characters look. They look really fkin weird. |
| None, the character designs are too small a part of a show for me to not watch something because of them. The only time they'll put me off at all is in combination with other factors, for example generic isekai tend to share very similar art and character designs. |
Just look at the seasonal chart, and the chances are 90% of them have generic and uninspired art which turns me off almost all of them. |

| Nodame Cantabile- I'm trying to watch the anime but the art turns me off Acchi Kochi- chibi-esque art style Bokura wa minna Kawai-sou- For me it seems like the author can't decide to go for 90's vibe or modern style Clannad/Air- THEIR E Y E S Tamako Market/ K-on- Plain looking style and their eyes Pingpong the animation- weird art style but unique in a way |
 |
| Eyes bigger than my whole head (clannad for exemple) |
| What has been on my mind recently is how much Made in abyss characters look like little children because of the artstyle,which feels really wrong when you see all the disturbing stuff that happens to them |

| Dr. Stone, especially female design. |
| I said the same thing somewhere else yesterday. I hate Gon's character design and that's the sole reason I still haven't watched Hunter x Hunter. Man, it's so ugly. Midoriya's design also kept me from checking BNHA for some time but I got used to him quickly and his design doesn't bug me anymore. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Quite a few things do. Gray/brown/dull colour schemes. Over-the-top wacky art style. Hipster stuff (looking very different for the sake of being different). Shoujo. There's always exceptions, but those are things that tend to put me off. |
UselessSakura said: Dr. Stone, especially female design. For me the MC's design put me off. Though I did check it out, for about 40 seconds. |
nanimeanswhat said: Same, although what I didn't stand specifically was Gon's hairstyle. I said the same thing somewhere else yesterday. I hate Gon's character design and that's the sole reason I still haven't watched Hunter x Hunter. Man, it's so ugly. I did end up liking HxH though. |

What are your examples? Uhhh.. naw. You’re trippin lol, character design is literally an aspect of the art style. One in the same. There is a difference between ANIMATION and ART STYLE, but a complaint about character design is a complaint about the art style. Art style is, or at least should be, pretty self explanatory. Some examples are character design, (stagnant/still) backgrounds, color choices etc. Animation is the movement. Are the movements jagged or smooth? Do things blur or deform when they move or do they keep shape? Etc. |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |
| Aku no hana, Clannad, Ping Pong the animation, Madoka Magica. |

I mean i'm sure it's a pretty cool show and all, but the art style looks a bit outdated to me. |

| Aku No Hana and Ping Pong. My God, they're all so ugly as f*ck I also hate everything Peter Chung designs. Just ew. Yes. If real cockroaches looked that sweet and moe, nobody would kill them. :/ |
