Hey guys, So I know I’m being a little picky here but I’m looking for suggestions. I wanna watch some more shows that don’t, or barely use (looking at you Berserk with Puck), super deformed art style. Most often I see it used in animes of heavier stories that want a way to break the tension. It works, but I hate it. Demon slayer is a great example. I love the story but too often the art style changes, characters become large or tiny, have exaggerated expressions, etc. It seems to be for comedic effect, but it breaks my investment. I couldn’t finish demon slayer because of it.

I just watched Hell’s Paradise and that was great. They never used it or it was so sparingly used I didn’t notice. So I’m looking for a new show to watch, something Shonen that doesn’t use SD. Also, preferably with characters who are already reasonably competent without whining.

Anybody else hate that style? What are your suggestions?

    I’m not sure what you’ve seen, but I’m just going to pull stuff off my MAL that I don’t remember having that happen in no particular order. A lot of these are shows I’ve seen years ago, so if they do include that gag, there’s a chance I could be forgetting in some instances. Though I would recommend seeing if you can get past the distaste, style changes like that are super common for gags, and avoiding them locks you out of a lot of amazing shows like FMA Brotherhood as an example.

    Code Geass

    Baccano!

    Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

    Psycho-Pass

    JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

    86

    Blood+

    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

    Black Lagoon

    Parasite: The Maxim

    Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

    Accel World

      FMA brotherhood is good enough that i can get past it. Still annoys me, which is why (unpopular opinion) I prefer the OG series even though brotherhood has a much better story.

      Code Geass and parasite are fantastic! I’ll add these other to my watch list. Thanks!
