Most Visually Striking anime
 
What's the most visually striking/appealing anime that you've ever had the pleasure of watching? Is it the art style (ie ping pong)? Or is it the fluid sakuga from the series that caught your attention (like in, say, OPM)?

Probably most people are gonna be hitting the Makoto Shinkai train. 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Garden of Words among others is literally artgasm backgrounds. Not to mention that Cross Road ad thing that I thought was going to be a film as well :/

Never has school work looked that attractive

Literally just was I was looking for his stuff on youtube, I didn't realise he has a new film coming this year:



Trying to think of the things I watched because it looked gorgeous from any PV I watched... I'm tiredly drawing blanks atm.

Nagi no Asukara is definitely one of those which aside from more scenery porn, the animation itself was beautiful and incredibly fluid. Think that was one of the few ones I watched the first PV that came out and was hoping the the actually quality of the overall anime was just as good as the art.

But those aren't different movies.

Anyway that was my first thought as well.

Hibike! Euphonium is another that I think looks quite nice. Hanasaku Iroha also had its incredibly visually appealing moments.

I'll bang the Shinkai drum one more time and say that his early short She and her Cat deserves a mention too. It was about five minutes long and entirely black and white. It lacks the 'better than real life' photo backgrounds we've come to expect from him but it really had lovely use of light and shadow.

OP mentions Ping Pong and I'll add to that a majority of other shows Masaaki Yuasa has been involved in too. Tatami Galaxy, Mind Gama, Kenomozume and Kaiba would be the obvious ones, as far as anime series go he's certainly directed some of the more unique looking ones. Can't say I liked them all though.

Another unique one is Fuujin Monogatari or Windy Tales. The out there art style perfectly fits a story about cats with the ability to manipulate the wind. Probably my favourite of all that I've mentioned thus far.

The manga of Riyoko Ikeda helped shape the future of shoujo manga and when adapted by Osamu Dezaki there were certainly some interesting results.


A more recent one, all be it an entry from an ancient franchise, Gundam G no Reconguista. I know it didn't go down particularly well but I think most of us should be able to appreciate the effort they put into bringing their 70s-80s artstyle into modern times. The colours were so vivid and it was genuinely pleasant to look at. By the way, I say it didn't go down well now but I do believe that people will come to see it more fondly in the future.

If this thread was posted in 2005 I wonder how many of us would be mentioning the works of Akiyuki Shibo and SHAFT. We've all gotten used to that now.

Maybe you should mention that you mean the old version, not Spring 2016 AOTS. (Since that has some scenes out =D)

On the other hand, with newest Powerpoint, SHAFT was able to do Monogatari 2 episode 17 so yea, this probably should get a mention =D

Fooly Cooly's art style is so oomph.
