No particular character designs come to mind. But I will admit that the character designs that you just mentioned can be pretty boring. It feels like I see a lot of the same art styles most of the time.

The youngest mother ever recorded was 5 years old so they should be good.


I know it, but for sure Lina Medina had many troubles at giving birth her son. It's unbelievable how she survived. It's said Lina Medina was like a Virgin Mary. But the problem is that these anime moms seem smaller than Lisa Medina.
Sorry for my English.

There are three people in this thread: the cringe, the funny, and the based.
that aside.... there are a few criteria needed to be met before the art style irritates me to a great extent.
1. too much design, when something is designed too much it feels like my eyes are burning.
2. too little design, boring.
3. little variety, sometimes i want to see the characters wear something else.
4. have you noticed that the male MC hair colors are usually black, blonde, and sometimes white. this goes for other male characters as well.
5. [insert derogatory loli statement here].
6. more clothes unless I'm watching an ecchi I'm not trying to see all that shit...
7. pink haired girls should be removed from anime.
8. I swear that if i see another MC with that hairstyle....
9. I personally don't care for hair style but uh I SEE THE SAME THINGS EVERY TIME.
10. if the characters have the same faces.
11. [insert cliche big eyes comment here].
12. if the tits is too big then its just weird.
13. [traps are bad?]

just a little warning most of this is a joke. That aside i don't really care about the art style too much doesn't really take away from the anime imo tbh.

I hate the designs of the girls from Chuunibyou and Infinite Stratos.

I can't stand a female character wearing lipstick; like full-color lipstick like red or purple or colors like that. I don't know why for the life of me, but there's something about it that just looks so...unatractive to me- almost ugly.

Uzaki-chan is definitely on my shit list for designs. Her head alone makes her look like a 12-year-old boy, and her boobs just make it look like the boy is playing a perverted prank on dudes.

Oh, that one chick from Erased with the pig pufferfish lips, yeah, no thank you to her.

Let's see, what else...Oh yeah! And the Aku no Hana anime. That's just all one big mess. (The main girl's head looks like a fucking potato)

Makoto Kusanagi's new hair and babyface sucks (as seen in SAC_2045. Arise is excluded due to setting). Major is not a fucking child, shes an adult. SAC_2045 occurs after SAC and SAC 2nd Gig, so why does she look like she did in ARISE?



Above image is from SAC_2045

There is this style from the 80s where every character looks like a stunted peanut with hair. See Ranma 1/2 to know what I mean. I could never understand how at any point in time that kind of thing was popular. But perhaps our cute girls of today will look just as grotesque to the next generation.

I don't like the designs in Code Geass, I guess they're interesting but they're unappealing to me.

And I also don't like how the guys in older shoujo and yaoi tend to look. Like them really broad shouldered, huge hands, pointy chin fuckers lol. Generally when male characters are supposed to be hot in things targeting women they don't look good to me at all. I just see a bunch of overly designed angular bishounen boys with different types of swoopy long hair. Stuff like this

Aku No Hana definitely has the ugliest character design I have seen which is weird because the manga looks normal.

I came to this thread specifically to find this comment and be an awkward contrarian. I loved the character design in Aku no Hana, and thought it created a much more suitably awkward and oppressive atmosphere than the manga managed to convey

In honesty, I've never been completely bowled over by the anime aesthetic in general, but certain styles have grown on me. I wasn't too into the character designs from Made in Abyss - I thought they were executed perfectly fine, and I understand the decision to juxtpose the infantile character designs with some of the dreadful situations they faced, but I felt that was something I watched and enjoyed very much in spite of its appearance.

I don't usually believe people need to watch a show in order to necessary judge a design, but in this case, that'll be a good idea.
The nudity vs clothing aspect is a huge theme of the show. If you made those characters dress more modestly you'll lose an important part of the show.
The first battle between those two characters

In other words, the show commented on how society views nudity as something to be embarrassed about through the main character Ryuko in that 1st battle between them and wasn't just there for fanservice's sake.

Everything from Steins;Gate Zero

Generic medieval fantasy warrior, like a lot of characters from Fate Apocrypha (Astolfo not included, love his design).

And designs that think "more things = more cool" and create a mess. Specially the ones with a lot of belts, you know that a design is unnecessary convoluted when you have more than two belts and they are not in the pants.

There's also this recent anime looking characters that look all the same, but everyone hate these, i don't need to explain.

Ash's design in Pokémon Sun and Moon. I guess hate is too strong a word but I really didn't like the roundish/overly cartoony style they went for and I always felt like there was something off with his face, especially when comparing him with other characters. Maybe I'm biased because I grew up watching Pokémon and can't get used to a character I've been watching for almost 2 decades undergoing such a drastic change in design but it just never grew on me. I read somewhere that the art style was changed to favour more roundish/cartoony character designs to allow for more fluid animation and probably to also suit the slice-of-life/school genre that saga was attempting to pull off but I'm sure there are many other anime out there which have top tier animation without having to heavily modify character designs.

CRAP YES. THAT ROUNDED HAIR LOOKS SOOOO DUMB. xD I have no idea why they went with that. It just looks bad.

@Hegesias

That's fine; I respect your opinion. I can see how the choice makes the anime more unsettling too. It's just so ugly. xD

I second that! The series is a bit too explicit for my taste, but the characters are just so unappealing. I swear, every character has the same base - I couldn't tell any of the couples apart; same colour pallets, same hair, same chin(?) It's truthfully not *that* awful but the awkward camera angles and poses make it just that much more yikes

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- I love Free! But the character designs just aren't that appealing to me.
I hate Makoto's shoulders - those things could probably span 20 feet; he's so broad?
Not to mention Haruka's completely flat hair that looks practically glued to his face and scalp. Rin and Nagisa both look a bit too tacky for my taste as well.
And of course how just about everyone's face looks just a bit off.
Pretty nit picky, but I was pretty content on dropping that show simply because of Haruka's hair.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Finally, the contrast between characters in Shiki's always disturbed me. Half the villagers look like they belong in a completely different anime

Kino isn't a girl who's particularly feminine, so for the '03 anime she had a more androgynous design. Also made sense because in-story she gets misidentified as a boy a few times.
Then they did the 2017 anime and decided that Kino should be more of the bishie type -- which would have been fine on its own -- but the show itself was also rendered in that mid-late-2010's general style (you know the one: lots of gradient reflection, blurred backgrounds, some tihngs are too shiny). Like, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It really depends on what season of Initial D we're talking about. I think season 2, Extra Stage and to some extent season 4 have pretty ugly character designs. The rest (and the manga) look pretty good to me.

This is what Mako and Sayuki look in the manga:
