What!? Never seen actual Dragonball made my Japanese people? That's like saying you've never had a Krabby Patty.

Also Code Geass characters look perfectly normal, they're just the same as every other CLAMP character only they sharpened the edges. Don't tell me you've never seen a CLAMP anime either.

No, no they don't and no they aren't.

Granted, CLAMP's general art style has changed drastically over the years and now all they draw are these grotesquely thin, long-legged and armed characters but that hasn't always been their style. It's mostly just been that since Tsubasa and xxxHolic. Both of which I could not read because the art style was too weird. :(

I still think it is awful. And I realize it's not the animator's fault but rather the character designer's. Regardless, bad anatomy is bad (or at least very strange, if you cannot agree it's bad). And I know cartoons in general shouldn't be held to the same standards as realistic art but when all I can focus on is ridiculously long limbs rather than the plot itself in an anime, it kind of ruins it.

CLAMP isn't an anime, but a team of artists. They've created/collaborated on a large number of famous works, including Card Captor Sakura, Tsubasa Chronicles, Code Geass, Kobato., xxxHolic, and more. A list of what they've been involved in can be found here.

Ohh. I've only seen Code Geass from the list :D

I never knew that Sonic was actually considered an anime XD

And since I don't even know half of these anime I plan to watch a lot later on too.

What you haven't seen Cardcaptors and Tsubasa, where have you been. Cardcaptors is actually one of my favorite works from CLAMP.

Cardcaptor Sakura*
Cardcaptors is the butchered English dub. And when I say butchered, I mean it in the literal sense: they cut up scenes, rearranged them, and then put them together so it looked like all the characters were "just friends." Pah, now I'm mad again.
 
^I'm Sorry but I actually didn't feel like typing in Sakura xD. Don't tell me it was that damned 4kids that dubbed Cardcaptor Sakura.

It was Nelvana, they were in competition with 4kids at the time. They tried to target it at boys by making the side-male character into the main character by starting at episode 8, then jumping around all over the place. Romance was a no no, and any trace of it was cut out.

I always though CCS was a younger kids show XD

It is. The Mahou Shoujo genre is generally targeted towards a younger audience, which in turn generally makes it more fun and overall better. CCS, especially, because it still had an overall storyline and lots of character development beyond just using the "of the week" pattern.

Ohh, CCS seems interesting so I'll plan to watch it later on.
Are there any more well known anime like that?

I think CLAMP's art changed because their main artist had to cut back because of health reasons and their background artist stepped up to take over, but don't quote me. I rather like the style she uses as much as their older styles even if the proportions are... different. It's not like their giant shouldered, sharp chinned male characters from before were anything resembling good anatomy in the first place.

Anyway, +1 vote for CCS from me.
 
Oh god, the beginning was difficult. So many clashing faves. D':

Oh, anatomy is always a bit weird in manga, especially shoujo manga which CLAMP seems to excel at but tbh I've never been a huge fan of their manga. I almost always prefer the anime adaptations. :x Regardless, at least I could read the CCS and Chobits manga whereas I just didn't enjoy Tsubasa and their later works and dropped them early on. Boooo. :(
