Why is there so many visually repulsive characters in Lycoris Recoil Recoil?

When I started watching it I expected an anime about cute girls doing both cute and cool things, but even though two main characters are pretty good (especially Chisato), most of the other characters are unbelievably ugly by anime standards. It's like watching hentai and studio deciding to show you the man's ass all the time.
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.

You don't need to be horny to appreciate beauty or be repulsed by ugliness...

This is one thing to find a character ugly, this is another to drop an anime because female character aren't appealing to you and this is called hornyness.

So if I prefer the statue of David to some ugly modern art due to aesthetics reasons I'm just being horny? The fact that modern people can't differentiate between beauty and sex related themes is rather sad.

Bro stop your delusions and bullshit, you're literally comparing it to hentai and you're only talking about female characters. We get it, you want to fap.

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.

I see. I do recommend giving Lycoris Recoil another chance tho. Its story is very good after episode 3 and the characters you mention don't show up much except the final episodes

If I wanted to fap I'd watch hentai, or better yet - read R18 manga since it's usually of higher quality, but here I want to appreciate beauty of characters while enjoying a specific story without having to encounter poorly drawn ones all the time.

Good day to you as well. Hopefully, when you get older, you'll be able to understand that beauty in life isn't synonymous with sex and both people and anime characters can be as inspiring as a great work of art or a beautiful scenery.

Well, I put it in "on-hold" list rather than "dropped" list, so some time in the future, when I run out of anime I want to give a try, I might give Lycoris Recoil another chance.

Those characters received an ugly design to convey, that they are either evil, morally gray or irrelevant. For example, that Sakura person, who replaced Takina mentioned, that she enjoys killing people, which would mean she is a psychopath and is simply evil. That designs fits her.
Overall, it's author indirectly telling us, that they are supposed to be unlikable. It's quite common. Very common, actually.
And that Commander is a middle aged woman, so...

Yeah, it makes sense and I can't argue with that. Still, I would prefer if these designs weren't as low effort as they are.

Pretty dumbass reason to drop a good show, especially considering half of those are characters you see for like 10 seconds, and Fuki and Sakura look perfectly fine. You only really have a point for the Commander.

Does it mean all the attractive people in the world look exactly the same just with different hair colors? A weird, but nonetheless interesting take.

You won't blend into crowd very well if you're ugly... Quite the opposite, really.

One of the main purposes of art is to create beauty and uplift the viewer. This anime, while trying to appeal to viewers who value character aesthetics, failed in this regard.

It's probably more like a strategy to overshadow the supporting characters with ugly or unattractive designs to fully focus your attention on the main characters. What can I say... that's more like from my own perspective... to answer that kind of question...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I mean I agree but the designs are the least of the problems this show has. The show gets pretty bad midway and the only thing that kept me watching was to root for the villain.

Wow, aren’t you surprised. Lycoris Recoil is very shallow, so of course many people who seek actual story would avoid it.

The point is, mutants like Chisato are pleasant to look at, whereas the same can't be said about most other Lycoris Recoil characters.

All of the female characters who matter are eye candy so it’s ok. Not sure what the angle was for making ugly side/background characters but it wasn’t detrimental to my enjoyment thankfully lol
