Post the blandest of bland, most generic anime character designs you've ever seen.
Let's see how many characters we can find that looks the same.

...

...

Almost every time they make the MC look like an actual Japanese guy they end up looking boring.

This one also.
Literally always comes with a "I'm a quiet Japanese girl" personality.

All these faces have a fairly distinct style. Cheap ecchi reigns supreme in generic visuals

...

whether you like the show or not you cannot deny this

>actual Japanese guy

>character is designed boring and generic as a parody
>ends up being one of the greatest anime protagonists of all time
how does godzuma do it lads?

He's not really bland, he's designed as an everyman to make his transformation more striking.

Fuck you

...

You failed the moment you chose a character with glasses

shut your whore mouth

Both of these fuckers are insane.

...

I think they all deserve a spot in this thread.

Who the fuck are the last two on the right? I can recognize the others for the most part but those two got me stumped. Also fuck these new character designs are awful.

prepare to be angry

Do I have to take that modern shota bishie Julian as a personal insult?

>just fucking bland my characters up senpai

I don't think you know much about character design. Looking like a human being doesn't qualify as bad design.

You certainly may.

>>Every character made to look as youthful as Julian
>>Even the middle aged men with haggard expressions from stressful jobs involving enormous stakes

for fucks sake, the lines on their faces aren't an animation error they're intentional.

They also took away reinhard and kircheis' curls and made everyone's hair look like melted plastic

OP isn't asking for bad designs. He's asking for bland designs.
A good character design is one that fits its purpose. A bland, unremarkable design for a bland, unremarkable character is technically good design.

This is nu-Sup Forums
They think dark hair + brown eyes = generic

The worst thing about these designs isn't even the same face imo. It's that they took away Yang's ankward cuteness to replace it with smug handsomeness.
I will not forgive. I will not forget.

I'm in love with Fujisaki's Yang. Her Schenkopp and her Obersetin are great too.

2018 isn't that bad, though. You know full well that it could've been a lot worse.

I'm struggling to imagine something worse.

the thousands of kiritoclones out there

Basically every harem lead ever

...

literally mascot tier

hmm I wonder why that could be

This for sure. For a "I dont stand out or have anything special about me" character, hajime's design is on point.

...

Up next: the busty red-haired character and all of her clones

...

...

...

There is a line and you definitely crossed it.

Delet this, atleast she doesn't wear a school uniform and has a unique hairstyle

>they cut Oberstein's hair

Too fucking far

it's more they swapped him and reuental

>busty

I don't have an image of her but that one bitch from Trinity Seven.

And how can we forget the silent, smart short-haired character.

...

died because of

...

There's not nearly enough of this look to call it a problem. Anime needs more cute black-haired glasses girls like this.

...

Red hair guy 100% looks like Akashi.
And blonde guy looks like Kise.

...

What in the actual fuck

Look at these dudes.

>Oberstein turned into pic related

Actual characterization

Did "white haired gay boy" became a thing after these two?

...

Hunter x Hunter
also Tokyo Ghoul

Not really white but...

It's about all Kaworu's VA has been doing since. See also that little twerp in Mai-HiME.

...

He's voiced by Shinji though.

eeeh those two only have insinuations, neither Killua nor Kaneki are legit gay

...

not with parody purpose, but when a bland character has an amazing characterisation makes the best MC in the industry

...

>I'm stoic and only interested in one particular thing: the design

Quads of truth.

He’s even generic in personality and voice.

>that butchering of Oberstein and Cazzelnu
Fuck you IG. Also why is Suwabe voicing Oberstein when he'd be a nearly ideal Reuenthal?

...

Nah even fucking CLAMPshit is better then what we got.

Remember when self inserting autists defended it to death

At least he's got an eyepatch. If anything Sebastian is more generic

I think anyone would agree that even if a character's design is generic, good writing can totally change the way you see them.

It's exactly how people are in real life. Personality can trump appearances, or enhance them.

You're fucking insane. There's millions of those types. Just because they're your fetish doesn't swerve the truth.

>Anime all about the characters
>Make the MC boring and bland
>All the rest of the characters are awful and boil down to "Fat guy = likes food"
Even 02 ends up boring being tied to the yawn inducing Hiro. What an awful anime.

While this is entirely true, 9 out of 10 times they are given a personality that's just as generic/boring/safe as their appearance.
For instance, if a MC is a wimpy looking black haired fag, it's a pretty much guaranteed he IS another one of those.
Black/white hair on heroines are also massive red flags to me.

What the hell..

The Tokyo Ghoul author is a huge Togashi fan, incidentally

>The blonde half-Japanese tsundere
>The black haired glasses quiet girl
>The black haired 'queen of the school' who everyone worships
>The deadpan loli

There's more I'm missing. 'Brown/Black haired Japanese young male who is a beta bitch' is definitely the worst offender, but there's plenty of awful ones for females too.

don't bully Komatsuzaki, he can only draw 3 hand poses

While we're on the topic of Sebastian

>I'm edgy and clever and crazy: the character

>theproblemwithmodernanime.png
Shading, what's that?

...

Oberstein, Reuental and Mittermeier look alright.
Yang looks okay when he's smiling.

...

Those designs are awful, but you're retarded, since those new designs do have shading.

...

more important is why is Wakamoto not voicing Reuenthal, and why is Kaneto Shiozawa dead?

...

...

This is barely relevant anymore.
Wasn't it made in like 2014?

...

Yes, but I don't care.
