I think I will go blind if I watch Ex-Arm so I'm gonna avoid that one.

Ping Pong the Animation and Tatami Galaxy. Also anything that has incredibly obvious and horrible-looking CGI. Btw, I used to think I wouldn't ever watch Jojo's because of the artwork, but I ended up watching all of it and I honestly think the artwork is actually pretty good and makes the series more unique. So if anyone doesn't want to watch Jojo's just because of the artwork, you should probably watch it since you'll probably get used to it. Also, I can't blame anyone for not liking the One Piece art, but I wanna say it does get much better (although only after like a couple hundred episodes XD).

While not strictly "art style", the rotoscoping in Aku no Hana is... was... just... no.

I can stomach a lot when it comes to art and I can suffer through a lot when it comes to CG, but that... no...

no...

no...

Mother. Fricking. One Piece.

I watched one episode and the mouths will haunt my nightmares forever. Rarely do I hate something so much and so quickly. Didn't help that everyone was also butt-ugly and obnoxious (imo).
Oh Thank God I thought I was the only one who hated One piece Art style, Those character designs give me nightmares too.

Yes, I also think so. The body built of the girls is laughable and in general, the faces look kinda nightmarish.

Also Jojo and this gambling anime where the characters could use their chins and noses as a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, and some other anime.
I don't like some too old looking anime either.

None I never prioritize art style over story. I don’t understand people who do.
And I’ve never seen an anime that I considered ugly all of the examples I’ve seen just weren’t what you typically see in anime but they weren’t ugly by any stretch.

I agree with this. Not that I would ever want to watch JoJo anyway but the art style doesn't help matters. And yeah Kaiji (the gambling anime) has the ugliest art style:

btw mate. Just saw your thumbnail in comment. Is that 3 gatsu no lion? I have watched the 1st season but I stop for awhile to continue the sequels. Is there any romantic development of the MC or who will he end up with?

One Piece, Bleach, HXH, and Jojo.
Also in part with the fact that I don't want to start a long running shounen anime.

I also will no longer watch most animes where they overly sexualize women's bodies/provide tons of fan service.

The Wallflower, probably, I can imagine an older me watching it drunk or something it's so funny looking.

Also probably Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid... the artstyle just kinda grosses me out for some reason. The way kyoani gives everyone tiny hands and big thighs and tiny feet just rubs me the wrong way. Their artstyle since like, K-on just grosses me out usually. It depends.

Pretty much any isekai or harem/romcom that looks generic and nearly identical to other anime in their genres that they can all be considered the same show.

I want to say "I would never do that! I would never ignore an amazing story solely for art style alone..."

but I watched Haikyuu. I disliked its art and I gave it a chance but I didn't like it. Haikyuu feels like fujocore, my arguments for why I don't like it is solely that. My arguments is dogshit, and it will remain that way xD. I just don't like it

You have a point. You know maybe it's really only the Part 5's artstlye/character designs that seriously refrains me, while the rest's seems pretty fine, so I guess I'll give it a chance then, but I don't think I will be watching it this year tho; I already have many plans settled up.

A lot, actually!

One Piece(I think i watched something like 9 episodes or so, and, while i did like the story, i just couldn't stand the art style anymore!)

Nanatsu no Taizai(I never liked the art + the MC is a shameless pervert + i think i saw some gore too?)

Ping Pong the Animation(Pure nightmare fuel, i'm not going to traumatize myself on purpose by watching this abomination!!! + I don't like sports either.)

Aku no Hana(Just f***ing ugly art, i don't want to watch this abomination either!!!)

Shin Chan(F***ing disgusting *western style* caricatures disguised as anime!!! I'm not watching this gross shit!!!)

Osomatsu-san(More Caricatures so no thank you!!!)

Chibi Maruko-chan(Looks like Shin Chan, so it probably has the same gross style of humour, sooo hard PASS!!!)

Tensai Bakabon(Do i really still need to explain why? Basically anything that looks like this or the other three mentioned above ^ are a big NO!!!)

Ongaku(Just ewwwwwwww, take this shit away from me!!!!)

Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!(Ugly as sin! Nope, not watching that!!!)

The Tatami Galaxy + Night Is Short, Walk on Girl(Basically anything by Yuasa/Science SARU, i don't like this art style at all!)

Hisone to Maso-tan(Ugly art style, so pass!!!)

Little Witch Academia(Somehow looks like a mismash of different art styles, with some characters looking much better than others, also some clearly ugly western influence to the art style, so pass!)

Mob Psycho(Too ugly for words, hard pass!!!!!!)

One Punch Man(Same mangaka, so not surprised that the art is ugly + bald MC + has gore = NOPE!!!)

Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji + Touhai Densetsu Akagi: Yami ni Maiorita Tensai(Ugly af characters with noses sharp enough that you could probably use to saw wood in two, ewwwww!)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure(Ugly art style, i do NOT like big hulking baras at all!!! + Has gore and animal abuse too, so double NOPE!!!!!!)

Fist of the North Star(For the same reasons as JoJo + has gore too. Basically, anything that uses this bara art style will always be a big, fat, NO!!!!!)

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt(EWWWWWWWW, more western caricatures disguised as anime!!!!!!)

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu(Not really ugly, more like generic? I feel it has a too boring art style + somehow gives me nasty Angel Beats! vibes ughh!!!)

Bishounen Tanteidan(Sincerly, i do NOT like this artist's art style at all, i wish they would have gone with the superior manga art style instead of the ugly af one from the light novels!!!!! These guys are definitely anything else but NOT BISHOUNEN!!!!!!)

Anything that's too Moe/Loli/CGDCT

Most things by Kyoto Animation and P.A. Works

Would have also said things like 3-gatsu no Lion and Clannad but have since added them to my PTW, however, they are very low priority for me.

I really want to start it but I can't get over the artstyle T_T

Plus it's almost 1000 episodes. Man it has to be at least as good as logh or something idk
The pacing makes it pretty much unwatchable close to the halfway point, anyway.

Devilman Crybaby. I'm not joking when I say this, it's possibly the worst looking anime I have ever seen. It looks like kids drawings on microsoft paint.

It's especially jarring when you have grown up with the OVA and go from this



to this....



Seriously, what the hell even is this? It's horrendous. When did we reach the point where garbage art was accepted as good? People say things like "it's unique" as a way to excuse it's awfulness. Well unique doesn't necessarily mean good, and this is not good. I don't know how anybody can see this as anything but awful.

I completely agree with you that it's a big art downgrade, Nihon Chinbotsu 2020 has a similar art syle i believe? I think it's the Yuasa style, people call it unique but it's really over simplified to the point of uglyness... >_<
