What series has your favorite character designs? - Page 2

Pseudonym · 08-18-2009, 11:31 PM

There's a lot that I like, but off the top of my head I came up with:
- Death Note
- Black Lagoon
- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

SgSpecial · 08-18-2009, 11:55 PM

deathnote looks increadible (well the manga does at least)

lone Sannin · 08-19-2009, 12:53 AM

Hellsing Ultimate (OVA). The character and their enviroment designs were smooth, stylish, sadistic yet appealing, and the bloody scenes looked artistic as well.

Same here ^^. Clannad/Kanon/Air, it's all a tie.

Gjallarhorn · 08-21-2009, 01:29 PM

One Piece. Say what you will about the art style, but the character designs are just so original and out there.

Some notably good ones:

Buggy the Clown
Nico Robin
Trafalgar Law
Bartholomew Kuma
Donquixote Doflamingo
Brook the Gentleman Skeleton
Ryuuma
Wiper

Ninja-Supreme · 08-21-2009, 01:37 PM

Deathnote
Welcome to the NHK
Darker than Black
Jigoku Shoujo

XD

The Grey Crane · 08-22-2009, 05:21 AM

I'd have to choose Trigun because of it's great blend of sci-fi and wild west elements. I'm attributing the greatness to the costumes and the cool & sometimes over-the-top weaponry.

Example:

Caine the Longshot - Yeah he's the dumbest sniper ever but hey, you gotta love that character design along with that big big big rifle.

Nicholas Wolfwood - A holy man with a holier-than-thou weapon.

And good god... Gazelle. He's a manga-exclusive character tho... But here's an image of a figure: (This isn't how he 'exactly' looks like on the manga but hey at least you'll have an idea.)

remba03 · 09-08-2009, 10:19 AM

I really like design from Eureka Seven.. Especially Eureka..!!!

I will second that one,
The designs are amazing in that show

also Seirei no Moribito had some excellent character designs.

Pseudonym · 10-07-2009, 11:15 PM

I'm going to add Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and K-ON! to my list.

alextchon · 10-08-2009, 11:06 PM

Gurren Lagann, Claymore, Deathnote, One Piece, Code Geass, History's Greatest Disciple Kenichi.

Bulma1017 · 10-08-2009, 11:13 PM

I like:
Descendant's of Darkness
Naruto
and Hellsing!

TheThunderBringer · 10-09-2009, 11:49 PM

I love NIS's character designs. Y'know, the people who do Disgaea.

I was going to say Takahashi's works. like Ranma and Maison Ikkoku. Nice.

Also the works by the author of Oh My Goddess and his other title Your Under Arrest!

.Kuro · 10-10-2009, 04:03 AM

I love Gantz's characters designs. The manga shows some very good ones and you can find more characters than in the anime.

jackson9838 · 10-15-2009, 01:23 AM

I like the character design from Dragon Ball Z. Goku is my fav.

AznOtaku · 10-15-2009, 07:40 AM

It's funny many said Code Geass because when I started watching, I had to put up with the thin and tall weird character design. Then I learned to love it.

Soul Eater wins my appreciation.

tenzo_groupie · 10-21-2009, 04:14 AM

Midnight Secretary and Gokusen

OtakuInu!!! · 10-22-2009, 06:20 AM

It's a tie between Code Geass, & Gundam00.

Shinigami Turtle · 10-22-2009, 08:43 AM

I love the artwork in the Death Note comics and anime (obviously), I think the Shinigami are remarkably origional, even if the choice isn't! lol. Just to give you two more unorigional choices, the pteropterans from Blood The Last Vampire anime are awesome, as they are in the Blood+ comics. I also love the colour and style in the Ghost In The Shell movies and series. I thought Sky Blue was beautifully animated (even though, I have to admit, I didn't think much of the film itself). And most of the 'biggies' like Akira and Spirited Away are just gorgeous to look at.
I also love the more 'realsitic' artwork you get in books like Ikigami and Kurosagi (though at times it seems a bit souless).
Also, Black Jack, Claymore, Vampire Hunter D. Ooh and Mushishi (stunning!)
I have other favourites but I can't think of them right now.

Yuyuko · 11-04-2009, 08:51 PM

Probably, Karo no Kyoukai. That or 11eyes. Love those berets.

TwiDragon1000 · 11-04-2009, 11:01 PM

K-On, Death Note, Air, and tMoHS (not in any order) have some of the best character designs.

Kotomi Ichinose · 11-05-2009, 12:07 AM

I like the styles of these animes:

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Clannad
K-ON!
Lucky Star

Their all similar to an extent in style, because they're all KyoAni's work.
