Favorite Anime art style?

The Hån · October 04, 2014, 11:14:08 AM

Mine is Wolf's Rain. I know there's a lot of grey and dreariness, but it adds really well to the apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic theme.

KyoAni's stuff and Monogatari series.

big sponge · October 04, 2014, 11:23:42 AM

I like Ufotable's, Miyazaki's, and Hosoda's stuff.

KyoAni

Spoiler

I'd say overall, Shaft's Monogatari stuff is my favourite.

David Productions JJBA stuff is really great too, I think they went overkill a little for part three however.

Trigger's style is interesting. I liked their pre-Trigger work on TTGL and Kill la Kill/Little Witch Academia worked brilliantly for them.

Other stuff... I liked Code Geass's artstyle, the angular characters are odd in the world of moe.
Honourable mentions go to Ufotable (when they have a budget), Madhouse for No Game No Life and White Fox (who I have never heard of before) for Akame ga Kill, which has an artsyle that I really adore for a reason I can't put a finger on.

Oh yeah

Ufotable, Gankutsuou, and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

The story was good, the Count really made the anime, not sure how well it follow the story of The Count of Monte Cristo considering I never knew the story existed. Plot, was well done, with the Count himself being a kind of chess master character. All in all, its worth a watch, a side note, the main protagonist is an idiot.

Sword of The Stranger, easily one of the best animated movies full of pure action that I've ever watched, there is so much detail put in every fight, and it's so fluent... it works perfectly.

The later episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes when they actually had a budget.

Another anime I need to watch, thanks OP. I love apocalyptic media, so I always enjoy finding anime that have apocalyptic settings.

prepare for major feels.

Erives · October 04, 2014, 03:18:40 PM

Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Samurai Champloo, and anything by Hayao Miyazaki(Spirited away, Howls Moving Castle)

Apparently Saint Seiya doesn't know how to properly balance colors.

I prefer the far superior Western Animation styles. Specifically, Dark Deco.

Lots of use of gold, orange, and yellow, in armor design. Unless the anime is actually not like the picture you posted.

Shaft's Monogatari stuff is exquisite <.<
It's just enjoyable to watch even without the story/rest of the show. Just the art and animation is top tier.

P.A Works for Angel Beats and Another >.>

Ufotable's stuff (That I have seen) is also god tier. I'm thinking of fate/zero in particular here.

You can add unlimited blade works to the Ufotable section. It came out today and the animation is every bit as good as Fate/Zero.
