If you are going to diagnose someone with an illness the very least you can do is provide your reasoning alongside it, otherwise people might think you're just being rude for the sake of being rude and that tells more about you rather than me.

wow its such a shame that 1 out of 359,806 people did not like lycoris recoil, our beloved shows ratings are gonna drop 😱

Wow, aren’t you surprised. Lycoris Recoil is very shallow, so of course many people who seek actual story would avoid it. 
it had been a while since i saw someone with such an awful take

I think it's just called "looking different", I'm sure there are people who fnd these girls are cute. Like I'm sure I saw someone somewhere who really liked Fuki in every single way.

Is commander even a woman with that appearance of hers?






Because of this I only managed 3 episodes. My aesthetic sensors prevented me from continuing any further.

Anyway, I'm glad for people who liked this, but damn it was disappointed for me.

Go to horny jail.

Yeah, they’re not that pretty by anime standards, but that’s also why they aren’t in the spotlight every episode. They are minor side characters. All the truly important characters are good looking. Chisato, Takina, and the milf and so on. If their appearance is what stops you from watching the show, it’s horniness, not “aesthetic sensors”.

But, hey, your opinion friend. It’s a great show, so you’re missing out.

@MikeyDangle Let's take a look at these two statues:



One is a masterpiece of renaissance, the other one is modern day abomination. I find the first one beautiful and the second one ugly, is it because of the horniness too?

They both look fine, but the first is clearly superior in detail. It’s up to interpretation. Had this same argument with someone else. Also, this is a straw man argument.

Do you like Demon Slayer despite it having a bad story and one dimension characters, but has fantastic animation, music, and voice acting? Do you dislike Gurren Lagann because it has a serious message but presents it in a very not serious way? These arguments stretch as wide as you want it to.

Lycoris Recoil has an enticing yet simple story, three dimensional characters (even the minor side characters) and great choreography and voice acting. But because those characters, very minor ones, don’t look incredibly unrealistic, you can’t enjoy the show? Do you see how absurd that sounds? You’re free to your opinion, so believe that if you want. But it seems like a flawed reason to not enjoy a show, and stems from horniness.

It's just one of the many art styles. It might appeal to some people. Or maybe the studio either didn't have the budget or were just lazy. We never know. There are so many colors out there. And we may find many of them ugly. But that ugliness is also a part of the world.

@MikeyDangle To me Demon Slayer was OK precisely because it turned out the way it was presented in the first place. Can't say the same about Lycoris Recoil... Also, I got interested in Demon Slayer because I got intrigued by Shinobu's design, ha-ha. Also, Gurren Lagann is top tier in my book, it has a good message and ideas, great humor, nice (and attractive btw) characters.

Okay, okay. Look. Im gonna say straight out, I agree with you. I typically only watch shows with attractive female characters. I’m a degenerate. It comes from horniness. It’s very clear that it’s the same case with you and you either don’t realize it, or don’t want to accept it. I straight up only got into TTGL because of Yoko, and LR because of Chisato. But I stayed for the great story and characters. The hook is a good looking character, the staying power is not.
I’ve grown a lot since then, because that was years ago. Now, I watch it because I’m interested in the concept. But, it stems from horniness. Don’t let a lack of total attractive characters stop you from enjoying a good show.

I actually watched it up until ep 819, but dropped it for different reasons. Unlike Lycoris Recoil, female characters in One Piece weren't ever a major factor for me.

So it’s not about wether the characters look ‘good’ but about wether women look like what you expect women to look like?

Come on, the two main characters are just generic moe blobs. I really don't get how that became "beautiful", when it barely looks human.

They could've had bigger breasts and more revealing clothing, sure, they're still good-looking in my opinion.

despite alleged agenda driven narratives where now girls don't even look like girls, problem is writing where school girls with handguns can take down marines with machine guns. Which defies logic since machine guns can mow down people, and the dahomey empire amazons got their asses handed to them by the male settlers.

This is 2023 where now any criticism for an all female led show can be considered hate speech, but it is perfectly acceptable to trash any show with a male mc. The shippers are even worse since they harassed the creators just like what happened to Horikoshi

Yeah, man (?), I don't know how I haven't drown in my own cum yet. I could fill a bath with it.

Seriously, though, the amount of people unable to differentiate between beauty and sex-related matters makes me feel bad about human civilization in general. I prefer clean streets to filthy ones; nature landscapes to industrial zones; beautiful characters to ugly ones.

To my view it's like saying "a poorly cooked meal isn't bad just because you don't like how it tastes, it's just some normal food". Normal side characters usually don't look like different species when compared to the main cast.

Food has clear instructions on how to cook something. You can't compare food to people's looks imo..
how do you handle this with real people?
If a person models for Vogue or sum other fashion magazine but your "aesthetic sensor" doesn't like how the person looks, is the person ugly now? like i said it's a personal preference (you can call it whatever you want)
i respect that you don't like how they look, but dropping an anime just because of that is lame asf

It's not a "big deal". It's an opinion anyone is entitled to have. I say they are unattractive, you say they are attractive - thus we have a discussion and that's the reason behind forums existence.

When the girls get into something like K-pop industry they have clear instructions on how they are supposed to look too, you know...

But jokes aside, I'm more tolerant with people in real life. As long as they don't smell bad and have clean clothes I don't mind much of anything else. The world is already an overbearing place to be and not everyone can maintain good looks since it often requires time, money and energy not everyone has. Anime characters, however, are drawn by people and are only limited by author's talents and intentions.

I don't think you understand art. You keep comparing sculptures to modern art, not realizing that both take effort and each uses a different approach to displaying their concept. Something being ugly or "repulsive"(which I think it's an exaggeration in this case) doesn't mean it isn't artful or is low effort. Art is not only limited to portraying beauty.

But let's call those characters ugly, they're still very different from each other and just by that I can say the designs are not lazy like you think. Not making them beautiful as you expect them is not the same as not putting thought into them. Making something effectively displeasing can be harder. And this isn't an attack but I think yours is the kind of opinion that stumps growth in media. Artists want to take different approaches to products but most people get displeased because it isn't what they've always been served. And thus innovation goes nowhere.

I find the "repulsive" characters to be very refreshing compared to the copy-paste background and secondary characters in most other anime.

Also, you're not wrong for not liking their designs and stop watching it, but that's still a very shallow reason to drop a show. You should watch low quality dramas where the storylines are meant to be what everyone expects and the actors are all good looking, instead of a show that belongs to a medium were artists often want to use reality as a reference.

@RoberToby Modern art in question has: complete lack of detail and tentacles instead of limbs - obviously not because it's "artistic", but because they are one of the hardest parts of human body to portray, be it a painting or a sculpture. Forget David, anime figures look better than that and take more effort and creativity to design. To create genuine art one needs to have both the talent and passion. If you have both, you can't create ugliness. It just doesn't work that way - even if creation is of a creepy creature it'll still instill awe just by its detail and overall quality. If you compare Chisato and Takina to the ones I called ugly you'll see that they are objectively better drawn and it has nothing to do with art style. And anyway, you people miss my point entirely. Have you watched Kaiji, for example? I don't find its character design particularly attractive, but it never bothered me because it never presented itself in a way I would expect it to appeal to my visual preferences. So in the end I got an interesting story even if I didn't enjoy its aesthetics much. With Lycoris Recoil, however, I expected an anime about cute girls doing some cute and cool things and that's what it seemed to be with the sole exception of all the supportive character being drawn with low effort.
