Fr one of the reasons I can’t get into anime very much is because of how abstract and inhuman most characters look and behave. I know there are cultural and historical reasons for the style and tropes, but it makes everything completely unrelatable to me.
So I’ll forever be one of those guys who’s like “Cowboy Bebop is great but that’s as far as I go”
Dorohedoro is definitely one of the stranger anime I’ve seen in recent memory and even they managed to fit noses on their characters. Caiman also technically has a nose, I guess, or at least he’s got nostrils.
I’d also strongly recommend it and it’s supposed to get a second season at some point.
I have terrible difficulties to enjoy those anime that require irreal coloured hair stiles and eccentric complements to distinguish the characters…
Recently I felt a bit of freshness with an anime, which faces I do not find “beautiful” or well drawn at all, but they were all quite distinguishable without the need of weird coloured hair… Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction, despite the cartoonish style for once in a while I was glad to not see an endless amount of plain “beautiful” stereotyped faces…
There’s some anime I’ve watched and loved but I had a revelation two years ago about why I was so put-off by the cutesier stuff. My niece was a toddler and we were goofing around with Snapchat filters. She was loving the anime filter and it dawned on me…
…Adult women in a lot of anime have the mannerisms of a literal children. And it certainly didn’t help the ick factor when I also realized these are the characters a lot of weebs want to fuck.
Ew ew ewwww. If an anime with an adult cast is described as kawaii, you cannot convince me to watch it.

Hayao “I hate weebs almost as much as life itself” Miyazaki
Holy crap haha! What a quote. Certainly made his point of view clear lol

You can go far enough but Cowboy Bebop is still the best. Not because of it’s graphics.

Jin-Roh
Look into western anime like Arcane, Avatar, DOTA: Dragon’s blood, things like that.
It doesn’t feel so… anime. And some of them have legit amazing and “grounded” character design, movement, expressiveness and such.
Add Castlevania to that list
I watched castlevania, and I liked it fine, but in terms of style/tropes it feels more anime than western anime to me.
