Anime/Manga/Light Novel with the best aesthetic forsenAYAYA 04/27/2025 (Sun) 08:19:15 Id: eb3f7b No. 60865

What is in your opinion the best Anime or any other story be Manga or Light Novels (not video games) with the best combination of art style, setting, and tone. Tone here represent who the story was told. Like some stories are very realistic even if it is fantasy like in Legend of Galactic Heroes and some stories are over the top even though they suppose to something simple like sports stories exaggerating the moves of the player. It also include stories where either the tone is serious from start to bottom like in Texhnolyze or light hearted like in Trigun even though both have bloodshed and humanity struggling to survive.

>>60865 I would say: OG OVA aesthetic was nice even though a lot of the stories were mediocre e.g. Tank Police or Dragon Half. Ninja Gaiden, X, and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust had the best aesthetic and overall great story.

>>60865 Twilight of the Dark Master is one I wish was a full feature length movie. It had the best setting and tone for it's story. Usually other shows like this would either be to edgy or have random unnecessary comedy here and there. But this was the best dark anime.

HunterXHunter 1999 was also superior to the 2011 remake due the fact it was not shifting from light hearted to dark on the fly. It was more consistent in it's tone that it fit for both a light hearted adventure and a dark story as well.

Shinsekai Yori. The plot in incredible broad and with deep themes but it doesn't forces them in the watcher or expand in something complex, all the symbolism is self-defined and the characters interact with them but they're simple and explained. It's the kind of plot consistence only possible in a novel/not quarterly LN. The adaptation itself is excellent, in tune with the story, both visuals and music (most BGM is just for ambiance and not remarkable). Curiously the manga adaptation is published as shounen, I don't know if it conveys the same but Shinsekai doesn't need a convoluted plot. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

>>62807 I haven't seen it, I will see how those that artstyle blend in with the tone and ambience for the aesthetic.
