I guess I really don't have any favorite "look" 
for anime, really, because I feel like the anime 
style should reflect the work of the mangaka who 
made the manga, and we all know manga style 
differ infinitely in detail and design, and yet 
different styles can all look appealing.

Of course, if the anime was not made from a 
manga, it tends to copy from existing series, 
which I don't hold against it. But I myself adore 
individualistic designs, as anime can get very 
old to watch when all of the characters look 
alike (a problem plaguing some newer anime).

I myself never discount a series due to character 
design...like I said earlier, the meaning of the 
anime carries more value. I don't think an anime 
should be labeled as bad just because it got 
stuck with a bad character designer. To over-ride 
the entire value of the anime like that...well, 
it kinda makes me sad. It's shallow, in an odd 
and indirect kind of way. Some of the most 
beautiful comics I have ever read didn't really 
have the greatest art...but that never changed 
the fact that they were -GOOD-. You never know 
what wonderful and beautiful things you might be 
missing...
