What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

I'm guessing they didn't do the writing for that one. Most of the characters are pretty good, outside of Suzaku whom is a massive faggot from what I've seen so far.

Suzaku logic
Fuck, no one can beat Britannia
I should join them to try, and reform them from the inside
Oh fuck, I've literally been the decisive factor in every single fucking battle for them since I joined them
... No one can beat Britannia!

He's literally a character whom could meet all of his goals if he just sat around, and did nothing. Outside of this, he's a massive hypocrite. He always tries to say "ZERO ISN'T DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY, PEOPLE GET HURT," but his way has literally aided in multiple genocides, and he's literally guilty of patricide himself.

> If I kill my dad, we could stop the war!
> Now my country has been enslaved
> Curb Your Enthusiasm theme

It's been a while so I may be misremembering it.

That's pretty much the way his storyline goes. I think he's my least favorite character of any anime ever.

Detective Pikachu. I've mentioned it in other threads but just stapling realistic textures onto cartoon characters without actually thinking about how they'd look in real life is lazy and dumb. Any idiot can do it. I can do it. In MS Paint. Who looked at any of these and thought it was okay.

Even by Jojo standards this guy has a weird design. Like what actually is this, why is he wearing a cowleather onesie that goes all the way up to his neck?

dude also has a weird-ass Stand, it's literally a.... frog... pterodactyl... bracelet? that lets him control these invisible creatures that give people diseases by wicking away their body heat.

They really need to go back to classic Jojo, I think. I kind of miss hugely muscular men punching undead with sunlight. They are clearly running out of Stand ideas.

Etrian Odyssey character designs. The main artist is a lolicon and has drawn hentai. Chris Hansen should have a chat with him.

Most awkward pose to be stuck in

There's a furry class too

Most of the character designs for the series were okay until he got crazy over designing in V while still making the characters headswaps.

He made over 50 portraits of this character because she was his token waifu. There's an extremely forced romance subplot with her as she is the plot device princess until halfway through the game or so. Soverign was also a worse class than Troubadour and Dancer so fuck her.

almost forgot weirdly thick-thighed loli and her DLC sauna portrait

I don't know what it's actually called, but some animes make characters legs insanely long. It just seems really off to me. All of the characters look like they're 8ft tall, and it causes the male characters to look too girlish.

example from: Code Geass Lelouch of the rebellion

Art like that makes me think the artist can't really draw people, so they pick a "style" that is just fancy stick figures. It reminds me of the era when all shitty internet fanart was done in a pseudo Johnny the Homicidal Maniac style.

The proportions of clamps characters get like way more ridiculous in the anime adaptation of XXXHolic. The characters have to be like 20 feet tall but the backgrounds are generic anime background made for characters that are 8 heads tall at most.

The new lesbian from RWBY. She just looks so… cluttered. Busy. Her face gets lost in the cape and her hair and the scarf. There’s a bunch of standout articles of clothing that draw your eyes in eighty different directions, when there should really be only one or two so the audience knows exactly where you want their attention to be directed towards. The white ombre in her hair ends up blending into the cape. There’s no real set aesthetic with her clothing other than maybe biker chick, but the chainmail, cape, boots, poofy sleeves and whatever the fuck she’s doing with her dagger give off a fantasy witch/mage vibe which throws a wrench into the biker thing and the two themes clash. It's like they threw in everything that they thought would look cool without stopping to think about how it was all gonna look together.

(Also, side note, but as a character she seems to be like an eleven year old's first OC- she's super good at everything she does and is super smart and super fashionable and cool and snarky and everyone loves her and one of the main characters sees her and instantly falls in love. It's.... laughably bad.)

Is that from Kamen Rider W? I'm kind of a casual Tokusatsu guy who likes to dip in the genre every now and then. @Kiwi Jeff nad @Kamen Rider Black RX are the two big Tokusatru Kiwis here as fas as I know. As for the design itself, it wouldn't look that bad without the USB shoulder pads and maybe a more aggressive red instead of that raspberry shad on its visors and belt.

I think the best looking Kamen Riders are Kiva, Agito, Blade and Ryuki, but I also really like the more organic, monstrous designs like Amazon and Shin. Personally I find the Ex-aid guys to be the lest appealing looking, though I've yet to see their series.

Its not Double. Thats Kamen Rider Zi-o, the anniversary rider who's power ups are all forms of previous riders. All the previous actors appear aswell so im sure you'll be happy when you see Ryuki and Agito return
