I completely understand what you're talking about. It's such a weird art style; I think the weirdest part of it is the way foreheads are drawn... They kind of bulge outward.

Just a note for this entire thread: Can we not attack people for their answers? I mean, this is all opinion-based; it's not like someone can be wrong. I agree that it'd be helpful to figure out why someone doesn't like a certain style, but there seems to be a bit of hostility here...

Personally, I like Claymore and FLCL for their plots, but their art styles are quite annoying at times. FLCL is extremely sketchy, and the reason for the awkward style of Claymore is above.

I dunno what I'd nominate for the worst, but I'll edit this post when I figure it out.

What I have so far:
Bizenghast (I was so depressed when I read this and found the art pretty bad... The ads in other Tokyopop manga were very interesting, but the actual series had a very sketchy, asymmetric feel that put me off of it.)

Honestly, I really dislike most of the art done by non-Japanese "manga"-ka. It seems like the style they're going for is very forced and unnatural, so it makes it difficult to read. Plus, I've noticed that the scenery is not even close to being as intricate as the backgrounds in Japanese manga.

I wasnt trying to attack anyone. I just want to know why people dont like the art styles.

That's good to know; it'd be a shame for a thread like this to turn into an unrelated, angry debate.

I think I was mostly confused because your first post didn't really give a reason for why you didn't like the art of FLCL, and when I noted how terse the "And why not?" question was, I started making assumptions. ^^; My bad.

woops, forgot to put why I didnt like FLCL. Gotta go edit my first post!

Berserk? Bad art? Um, okay. ?_?_?

If you want bad art, look no further than Battle Royale 2: Blitz Royale

Berserk is worst

Yeah, I HATED the art in that one. Berserk has awesome art, even if it has aged a bit.

THIS POST DOES NOT EXIST......IT'S ALL IN YOUR IMAGINATION

I think the only one I've ever bailed out of simply because of the art is Five. It's all a matter of taste, really--I liked The Demon Ororon.

Will no one scanlate Takahashi Miyuki?! T_T

I couldn't stand Airmaster's art. It was just so ugly, especially the short teenager that looked like a middle-aged man. Oh, and one of the characters has such a huge chest. People think that Orihime's chest is unpractical (including me) would be blown away by Airmaster. Combine Orihime's and Matsumoto's chests and that's what you have in Airmaster. Grr, I got so angry looking at that manga's art that I wanted to punch someone afterwards.
