Every time a good anime/manga with a really unique and stylized look comes out, everyone tries to hype it up by being like “yeah the art style is really weird and ugly, but the plot and action are top notch!!” And it’s like. My god you guys are so boring. Like it would be one thing if all the shows people said this stuff abt actually looked super ugly but like. Most of the time it’s a very nice looking and not even that weird?? Some of them can even look pretty generic. And I feel like these people aren’t appreciating how well thought out a lot of the art direction in the stylized stuff is. They just see something that’s different from what they’re used to and go “oh my god! It’s ugly.”
