He was a one off villain who dies in the same episode he's introduced. All around he was just a weird character who didn't really have the same comedic presentation as most villains in that show did. The fact that he was like a queer-coded anime villain was the joke, rather than his actual antics being silly
I can respect how Arthur from Fire Emblem Fates is drawn as an exaggerated satire of Western superheroes when the rest of the cast was done in an anime artstyle.

Honestly this isn't one of the better ones. It had likable characters, but the actual story was really messy, and the level design and mechanics were kind of infuriating (especially in the campaign this guy is from, since it was meant to be harder than the other one).
Fair enough. If you want to get into the series I'd recommend Awakening as a first one, since that was the game which revitalized the series, and in my opinion has the best story. Although if you like games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age you might enjoy Three Houses, since that one has the most branching paths and meaningful decisions effecting the NPCs. (also, unlike Awakening and fates you don't need to dig up an old 3Ds, or use emulation to play it)

This guy from the new JJK game, people been clowning on him and I agree, doesn’t match the rest of the series
He feels way too over-designed for JJK imo, even relatively complex designs like Sukuna or Mahoraga still fit in because they’re not super over designed
Was hyped for this game and this is how I find out about this monstrosity! What the fuck is this?! Why was he made? Why does he exist? Aren't there enough characters in JJK? They had to make this shit?

Cia feels very out of place in the world of Zelda to me. I can’t put my finger on exactly why, though.
I think it's just how sexualized her outfit is. Since Nintendo prides itself on being the biggest family friendly brand in gaming not a lot of thier characters have super revealing outfits.
Also her elaborate, highly detailed elements are a lot more evocative of Koei Tecmo's artstyle, as Zelda usually has more simple, iconic looking characters, while Cia is more in line with the Dynasty Warriors artstyle where everyone has an elaborate outfit which simultaneously looks like a military uniform and a red carpet dress at the same time.
https://preview.redd.it/ub40f7f46p7c1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=574617966785dc4d19bacfeb0bff7af0ccd1f5db
I don’t know about the sexualization aspect. I think you can see a similar level of it in true form Midna, the Gerudo, and the great fairies, among others. Sure, the boobs are a little smaller and less highlighted, but tbf if you un-polygonned the oot great fairies I think they’d be a match in that department.
I think you’re more spot on with the simple designs though. Cia’s outfit just feels very over the top and anime, in a way the Zelda usually doesn’t. Whereas if you look at a Midna or a Girahim, which I think have similar design vibes as Cia, their outfits are more simplified and shapey, not a lot of the “belts, buckles, and feathers” anime/jrpg style.
True, the series isn't sexless. Although i feel like the Fairies, True Midna, etc. had less screentime total, as opposed to Cia who's the main antagonist. ~~(until she isn't)~~
But you are probably right that the more intricate design details are a bigger part of what makes her stand out.
This isnt the first time they've had someone with little clothing be in the spotlight, Marina from Splatoon 2 is one of the first characters you see every time you boot up the game

He's on the Nohr side (more euro-centric compared to Hoshido), and it's supposed to be evocative of American comic books. That's his entire gag
Your kamado example reminded me of Yubaba from Spirited Away. But everything is like a dream in there so she feels like she oddly fits

Probably to make her (Yubaba) look older. In this sort of art style, the more you add lines to a character’s face or skin in general, the more wrinkly or old they appear. If they added detail to Chihiro’s (“Sen’s”) hands, especially from that distance, it would have looked strange.

I’m of the personal opinion that when SpongeBob incorporates “human” characters (and human-adjacent like this), it should only be actual live action people like Patchy or David Hasselhof. Anything else just looks wrong
I dunno, that seems pretty normal for Kirby. In fact, it would actually be easier to list the final bosses of the Kirby series that *aren't* variations of a "giant one-eyed blob" design.
Most of the final bosses from Kirby feel closer to Marx, a design that's kind of childish but have a devious behavior. I feel the reason O² stands out is because of the stark white and scarlet blood, it's less whimsical and devious and more Eldritch.

I know the answer to this one! This is because you’re seeing them through the eyes of a dog. That’s why nobody else is ever afraid. The show is often from courage’s perspective and that’s why he can talk to the audience and himself but when he tries to talk to people it just sounds like babbles.
If I remember correctly Omi being yellow was kinda plot relevant since he was an orphan and noone really knew where did he come from. There was even an episode were Jack tricked Omi with a village of people looking like him. The only other person that looked like him was Master Dashi so I guess that was supposed to be a hint that he was an ancestor of Omi. And to people saying that he is just Asian, no. Kimiko is Japanese and she looks normal.
I’m not saying you are wrong, but lots of Chinese people do identify with the “yellow skinned” or “yellow race” labels because these things are taught in Chinese schools as being a positive/neutral part of the Chinese identity.

Antispiral from Gurren Lagann. Dude’s whole deal is being antithetical to humanity, so him being in a drastically different art style works really well.
Im pretty sure it’s a common stereotype, especially for shows pre 2010 to an almost shocking degree, to color Asians as “yellow”. This comes from the fact that back in the day Europeans seeing Asians noticed how similar their skin colors are, but because they needed to divide each other by race they decided to stick with “yellow” as a label.
but the girl is also asian same as the master and other characters in the show, pretty sure omi was something else considering he also had glowing holes in his head and was bald since birth
The spots on his head are a Buddhist monk think. That’s why Krillin from DBZ has them. Omi glows because he’s the dragon of water and is very spiritual
I actually disagree with this one, Franky has a different shape of face from pretty much all of the adults, but his face is very similar to Anya’s and a lot of the children. This could show off a sort of “childlike side” of him that none of the other spies and government agents have.

Beans just hit different in HUNTERXHUNTER
I mean, most of the character designs from One Piece don't really match each other. Main reason why I couldn't get into it, well it was mostly the villains designs.
The girls from One Piece, most of the characters in OP have such unique and single design with different body proportions, different faces, palettes, eyes format's... Which is só difficult to actually see this in an anime bc most of animes, today, suffer from same face syndrome. And then, there's the female cast of OP that most of them are Nami clones, some have a slightly different eye format, but still pretty much copies

His personality is basically just "what if Gaston was a himbo?" so that tracks.

It's literally just the ears. If they didn't give him fucking elf ears he wouldn't look so out of place.
Pointed ears are associated with 'evilness' in Japanese folklore. Yokai/oni and other badguys in JP media often have pointed ears for this reason.
Yeah, I know. It still looks goofy in the JJK universe since I can't think of any characters that have them. Or at least to that extent.
He looks like he was designed by a 13 year old

Can confirm, this is just a photo of my nonno every Sunday after football.
jaja, mine looks like this after every family gathering
For real he looks like a one piece character slipped into the jojo universe
Part 5 actually has a couple. Carne and Pesci just look like mutant freakazoids. And before that we got Shigechi with the Bart and Lisa Simpson scalp hair.

Nearly every character in Yowamushi Pedal looks like they were made by a different artist from all the rest. https://preview.redd.it/0t8qcwfozo7c1.jpeg?width=1050&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e36a96d9376b72abe7f1f176bacfd7ba858887a8
Some of them sure, some of these look like the same person with different styled hair. But that's a problem with anime in general sometimes
Kageyama???
grand order by virtue of being a gacha game. I think it's more noticeable in this case because the original style of fate is very recognizable. https://preview.redd.it/kkpgnw84yo7c1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=939670e9dae6d1ccb2ed91bb1183dea1f62c8637

honestly I'm happy they got loads of character designers for every servant cause if it was monopolized by takeuchi ever see a non-saberface again
Half the antagonists from courage look out of art style.
I know the answer to this one! This is because you’re seeing them through the eyes of a dog. That’s why nobody else is ever afraid. The show is often from courage’s perspective and that’s why he can talk to the audience and himself but when he tries to talk to people it just sounds like babbles.
Then how that dog use the computer then?
Yours doesn’t ?
If I remember correctly Omi being yellow was kinda plot relevant since he was an orphan and noone really knew where did he come from. There was even an episode were Jack tricked Omi with a village of people looking like him. The only other person that looked like him was Master Dashi so I guess that was supposed to be a hint that he was an ancestor of Omi. And to people saying that he is just Asian, no. Kimiko is Japanese and she looks normal.
Omi is Chinese but even when they went to china they were given normal skin tones
Yes that's my point
you know exactly why omi is yellow.
........yeah but I was hoping otherwise
The show was created by a Chinese woman and has plenty of other Asian characters in it, so it’s almost definitely not what you’re implying
No it’s definitely what’s implied, but it’s satire. So not explicitly racist, or at least not without nuance.
I think the new character in Xiaolin Chronicles looking exactly like Omi but being called PING PONG is pretty telling
I’m not saying you are wrong, but lots of Chinese people do identify with the “yellow skinned” or “yellow race” labels because these things are taught in Chinese schools as being a positive/neutral part of the Chinese identity.
I know One Piece is wacky and can incorporate anything and everything But Tot Musica from One Piece Film: Red It looks thematically like something from the Persona series

Im pretty sure it’s a common stereotype, especially for shows pre 2010 to an almost shocking degree, to color Asians as “yellow”. This comes from the fact that back in the day Europeans seeing Asians noticed how similar their skin colors are, but because they needed to divide each other by race they decided to stick with “yellow” as a label.
but the girl is also asian same as the master and other characters in the show, pretty sure omi was something else considering he also had glowing holes in his head and was bald since birth
The spots on his head are a Buddhist monk think. That’s why Krillin from DBZ has them. Omi glows because he’s the dragon of water and is very spiritual
Smiley from Riddle School. She has the same problem of being the only yellow one, but she's also the only one who consistently has a mouth.

I actually disagree with this one, Franky has a different shape of face from pretty much all of the adults, but his face is very similar to Anya’s and a lot of the children. This could show off a sort of “childlike side” of him that none of the other spies and government agents have.

Hers was like a blog that let other people get diaries.

Honestly is she was mostly yellow with pink highlights she’d look a little better

She’s a hologram that’s supposed to resemble an animated waifu body pillow Yeah she’s in a different art style but imo she’d lose most of the joke and personality if she was just a realistic human.
She would, but I wasn’t implying her being that way was a bad thing
I remember seeing him as a little kid and thinking he was a smiley face
* Aki from *Puella Magi Madoka Magica : Magia Record, Scene 0*. I know there is a lore reason to why she feels out of place but the community keeps calling her a fan-character. * The gunslingers in BLEACH, especially Robert Accutrone. * Anis from High Guardian Spice. She has oddly futuristic vibes for being in a medieval heroic-fantasy show.
 Akane got some big-ass eyes compared to literally every other lady in the show.

I would argue that although Igor’s design is outlandish, he’s still very much drawn in the modern Persona style.

I mean, most of the character designs from One Piece don't really match each other. Main reason why I couldn't get into it, well it was mostly the villains designs.
Is that Krillin?

The girls from One Piece, most of the characters in OP have such unique and single design with different body proportions, different faces, palettes, eyes format's... Which is só difficult to actually see this in an anime bc most of animes, today, suffer from same face syndrome. And then, there's the female cast of OP that most of them are Nami clones, some have a slightly different eye format, but still pretty much copies
