10 Shiki

Shiki’s art was THE most heavily criticized aspect of the series, with its slow first half coming in a distant second. It is not hard to see why fans hated how the characters looked – a black hole for eyes and hair that looked like most of them recharged their hair in the morning with electric currents.

9 Grimgar Of Fantasy And Ash

A-1 Pictures has earned itself a reputation for creating some of the most spectacular anime out there, including Sword Art Online. With Ashes Of Grimgar, fans can clearly see them experimenting with a different art style.

8 Flowers Of Evil

Right from the get-go, the series got a lot of hate from manga fans for its “ugly” art. While the manga's art was nothing short of stunning, the anime seemed to have “uglified” its own characters.

7 Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun

With its warm color palette and thick, crisp outlines, Toilet Bound Hanako-kun’s art instantly hit with fans. Many even compared its art to that of Attack on Titan’s, seeing how both of them used an overwhelming amount of browns for their characters and backgrounds.

6 Afro Samurai

The show has a very distinct art style. The best way to describe it is to call it an amalgamation of Japanese and American cartoon art styles.

5 xxxHOLiC

Now, anime isn’t exactly known to be very realistic or adhere to Physics' rulesーand although the characters of xxHOLic tend to have legs and torsos on the long side of things, that doesn't take away from the mangaka CLAMP's unique art style.

4 Gatchaman Crowds

Bright colors and geometric shapes – that’s the best way to describe Gatchaman Crowds’ art. The animation is clean, crisp, and smooth, with CGI blending almost seamlessly when the show’s lead characters transform into their superhero selves.
