He basically randomly flails with words at character designs with no idea of which ones have strong style, and which ones just have a few change of cloths.

[@ThereAndBackOnceMore]

Jojo's by far is the most stylish anime in the shounen genre. But if we look outside of shounen. I think Josei has been serving up looks for quite sometime Nana, Paradise Kiss, Princess Jellyfish. Maybe it goes hand in hand that the genre meant for adult women is more on trend but for such a small genre it would be a shame to overlook the character design they've been throwing out for decades.

BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN

[@FFKonoko]

@@projekttaku1 I respect your right to have that opinion. But I don't respect that opinion. SOME of their outfits are good. But meliodas goes from decent but understated white shirt, black vest, red tie....to a white shirt with a green collar, and green lacing going OVER a red shirt. Like, that's a basic colour faux pas. Using Red/Green color contrast so close is risky, you need to pick the right shades and they did NOT pull it off. And even if they had, it works better as a divider, as in demon slayer. Their uses of greens in general often felt oppressive, too. The almost entirely green outfits that Dianes and meliodas each sported, for instance. And the orange inside to dianes collar didn't help that. I can see why you mentioned Jojo, since Ban looks like he raided their closet, but the abundantly red "I grew out of my fetish biker suit" feels somehow both busy with the studs and bland from no accessorizing. Pucks is usually a train wreck (though his white outfit is much better)...there are plenty of good outfits too, and they are worthy of some praise, but its very hit and miss. They are better dressed than SAO and when they are at their best, they are better dressed than many shounen shows. But when they're bad? They're so bad. But hey, that still makes them very interesting to talk about! If they had leaned into the odd extreme colour contrasts, pushed it to the arty high fashion extreme that jojo does? They'd likely have made the video then, one way or another.

Soul Eater's entire design for EVERYTHING was awesome. It wasn't content with going "Yeah, our characters all have this cool hip-hop/goth/shonen anime pastiche", the BUILDINGS and CLOUDS and MOON carried the look over too.

[@M2ofEMMM]

One of my favorite things I've read about Soul Eater was someone saying that none of the main characters looked like they were dressed to go to the same place. It's so true, and yet it works, I think at least partly because of what you've said here about how the world itself has an equally raucous appearance.

[@SuperMunchkin43]

i like to describe the style as "Tim Burton goes Skate Punk", i love it!

Soul eater’s art and design work is phenomenal and the animation was amazing for its time and holds up incredibly. I really wish we could get a manga accurate anime cus that shit went even harder(though had a slow start) sorry I ramble soul eater is probably where I draw most my inspiration coming to art lol

[@KitsunenoHibi]

I have to make as stand as a girl who grew up in the 90's; Yu Yu Hakusho has HANDS DOWN some of the best dressed men ever drawn. Not only did the boys regularly change clothes, they changed into stylish ones. Kurama's outfits ran a cultural gamut; Western styles, Chinese martial arts, Japanese school uniform, Japanese gis...... his clothing encompassed a huge variety of colors, tones, styles, and fits. But he always, ALWAYS looked incredibly sharp, dressed like a mature, classy, upperscale young man. Yusuke was the epitome of a fashion-forward street fighter. His outfits were always nicely assembled (heck, he even refused to wear the uniform for his own school because he didn't like it), but they let him move freely and would never look out of place for a brawl. Kuwabara, while not as attractive, had a very distinct and flashy style that was as expressive as he was. Hiei, on the reverse, was very attractive but wore incredibly toned down clothing. The most elaborate thing we see him wear is his blue overcoat with the gold trimming and red lining outfit. He didn't wear as many diverse things, but they were full of saturated color and designed to accentuate the movements of his attacks. And then of course... Koenma. In his teen form, this guy is a one-man fashion show. Heck, Naoko Takeuchi (creator of Sailor Moon and Togashi's wife) let Koenma wear the ever famous Tuxedo Mask outfit in one of the arcs. Koenma's wardrobe OOZED drama, with scarfs, capes, and snappy shoes. But the boys weren't just dressing up in the show; promotional artwork, OPs and EDs, art especially for character songs, their movie fashions.... if Togashi hadn't become a manga-ka, he would have made a fortune as a costume/fashion designer. The man has a gift.

[@deus_ex_machina_]

Half-way through this comment I realised that somehow you've managed to weave in a narrative arc, with a premise, high and low points, climax, and resolution.

[@clearlynotaneldritchhorror8798]

I remember an article about jojo and how you could look at it as a world where wild fashion isn't only for the rich and every can express themselves in style without backlash. In real life a guy celebrity wears a skirt or dress and can get away with it but your average guy can't. Jojo is a world that says you can wear what makes you happy, rock your style, anyone can dress like a model because not one is gatekeeping fashion.

[@Levyafan]

Also worth considering: when you got an invisible punchghost who can shatter concrete at your beck and call, would you really worry about what other people think about your leather crop top and tight jorts?

Jumping Jack Flash was sent to prison for those shoes though. That's the one line I won't let JoJo's cross. JJF was only in jail because of fashion police.

[@clunkwestweed4541]

I think literally all male celebrities would get the same stares in public as a less-famous man. Being against the tide gender-norm-wise is a lot different from simply expressing your fashion. A skirt or dress is HELLUVA statement from a man, regardless of fame or wealth.

[@sunkeerthtummala703]

I really like this take. Another thing gatekeeping fashion besides money is effort and function. I cannot imagine how anyone has the time and effort to get JoJo hair and keep it that way. It's really cool, but it looks like it requires incredibly high maintenance. Also, some of that stuff looks uncomfortable with tight fitted and how many accessories seem like they could get snagged on something while walking

my hot takes on naruto's outfit that no one asked for: naruto's outfit although ugly as sin is actually pretty genius. his outfit fits him terribly, it's far too big for him, it also seems to be a lot older in fashion than the clothes of all the other kids. not only that, but it looks a little dirty. these elements make his outfit so genius because they tell you about his character right off the bat. he's a scrappy, grungey kid who mostly buys his clothes at thrift stores probably and can't afford anything that will actually fit him. he probably found this in a thrift store, thought it was sick as hell, and bought it for 8 bucks. what makes this outfit even more compelling though is the redesign of it. the redesign in shippuden also tells you a lot about his character if you compare it back to naruto's original jumpsuit. now instead of being baggy it fits him much better, it doesn't seem as dirty either and the color combination is more mature. he's taking better care of himself, has more money to spend on himself, and is a bit more mature. and yet he's still the same scrappy naruto we know and love. this was longer than expected lmao.

[@Ahmed-xy3pc]

Same with Black Clover, the character designs are unparalleled and the best in shonen jump right now.

[@Crisjola]

@@Ahmed-xy3pc hmm. I dunno. I want to say "yes" but seeing as I'm jumping chapters between Black Clover and Demon Slayer (because I've seen all I can legally of Demon Slayer and am watching Black Clover because of a good friend and Lore Spoilers Nux did a video on, and reading the manga AND the anime at the same time is… a tall order… I switch out with it) and would have to say that in terms of *designs* Demon Slayer beats Black Clover. However in terms of *fashion* of a main cast that changes, I'd say that Black Clover beat Demon Slayer. I don't think it beats Jujutsu Kaisen simply because it's *so hard* to accurately compare medieval-ish fantasy Epics with modern day Tokyo High Schoolers. They're both good, just different. With a lot of what I'd call "fantasy fashion parallels" between certain Jujutsu Kaisen characters and certain Black Clover characters. Personally I'd say that I really like the… bizarre reality of Chainsaw Man's outfits-at least for the ladies. That whole manga felt like a fever dream though (and I just finished it a month ago and am vibrating for the new arc) so… I really hope I'm not warping that in my head too much, but Power has some great outfits.

[@DarkSide0121]

Most Shonen are "Ready to wear", JoJo is "couture"

[@DomIstKrieg]

Exactly. Most shonen outfits are something you stick on to go fight demons or whatever the plot demands, a human could conceivably dress like Eren Jeager and go to the pub for a beer. Nobody is going for a quiet drink dressed like Josuke. That's why its awesome.

Omg kkk so accurate

[@Cloverfr]

JoJo's is *THE* anime that made me love fashion, before that I thought fashion was stupid and superficial. I have learned to see the beauty on what you wear and appreciate the individuality of it. I legit had different eyes while watching anime, I could appreciate the fashion sense, and that made watching anime and reading manga an even better experience. That aside, before JoJo's I didn't know the male body could be beautiful, I don't know what's with that, is like I was blind before?

[@tyrant-den884]

outfits that scream: "we need someone or something else to fight for us or our stylists will have a fit."

[@genesisfrog]

One of the things I love about One Piece fashion is how Oda uses it to unite groups of people! Whether that's helping to distinguish locations via people of certain islands dressing for the weather (like Punk Hazard, Alabasta, and Drum) and different cultures having different styles (like the Shandorans and the Skypieans, or the people of Dressrosa), or groups having a united style or theme (like the Newkama, Moria's crew, the Revolutionary Army, and even Foxy's and Buggy's crews). One Piece is wild with its character design but it still works in a way that feels logical and I love it for that.

Agree, i think his design also ties to the idea of gintama not being about perfect indivinduals, but rather flawed characters. It's not about the gold: a protagonist with the perfect clothing, a heart of gold, with a perfect weapon, who always does the right thing. It's about the silver, a lazy samurai, who can't even bother to use his kimono properly, carrying a wodden sword and doing any kind of job for money and spending everything in beer, gambling and candy. That's gintoki his design and main weapon fits him perfectly

Can we get an episode on anime hair? Is it natural or styled? If the latter, how many gallons of coloring and style gel do they go through?

[@Crisjola]

This is entirely why I like the ED of Jujutus Kaisen because it means that Itadori has Spiky Anime Protagonist Hair because he puts like… so much product in his hair. I also am so confused as to how Saturo's hair works because like… it's light and clearly pin straight, so it should be spiked up with a blow drier and some kinda hold hairspray but the moment he drops his blindfold his hair comes down. And in a show that treats clothing/hair as "normal" when everything else is straight up supernatural, I've been trying to figure that out for a bit. EDIT: … oh my god I realized why I recognized Gojo's hair!! Of course his hair has a mind of its own, he's *clearly* related to the Heroic Spirit Archer, King of Heroes, Gilgamesh! It's also why he's an inexplicable chick magnet, and why he's got an ego the size of a small star. Semi-seriously though, it was gnawing at me until I was in F/GO playing Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia and realized that he… just has his hair spike up *for reasons* and the rest of the time it's down. Yes, I am Fate trash. Yes, I am Fate/Zero trash. Yes, I am Saturo Gojo and Gilgamesh trash. … I'll see myself out. -pops back in- Side note: the "casual" clothes of Animated/F/GO Fate Characters span: stretchpants and a fanboy shirt and lose V-neck with a far too much money golden necklace and snakeskin pants and snappy shoes and somewhere in the middle is Black-Suit Saber who I would probably die for. (Or leggings, blue skirt and white jacket Saber from the… triad(?) date Rin/Shiruo/Saber all go on.) And no, I can't tell if Gilgamesh drips or if he only drips for the proper setting of Fate/Zero of 1994-and even then.

Gilgamesh from Fate looks fantastic especially when he's in casual clothes with his hair down. When he wears the golden armor he quite literally shines. His appearance in Babylon was nothing short of amazing with the more laid-back open vest and pants showing his maturity compared to his Zero counterpart. When the archer version did show up it was without a shirt showing off the blood-red tattoos that only served to highlight the color of his eyes. The child version of Gilgamesh in Fate/Kaleid was terrifying in the way no kid should when he pushed back his hair yet until then his hoodie made him look adorable. In Babylon, the contrast of colors between Gilgamesh and Enkidu (with Enkidu's green hair and white outfit) only made their relationship more noticeable. Siduri's relationship with both of them was also more noticeable since she wore both their colors with her green dress having gold trim while the white hood and see-through face cover gave off a different feel from them both. It was clear that all three were connected (suddenly I want to go cry in my Siduri x Gilgamesh x Enkidu corner. I shipped it and it ended in tragedy). Most of the Fate characters look amazing although I dislike Shingi on principle. Rin's red coat matches great with Archer's everything, while also being reminiscent of the suit her father wore. Sakura's outfits are muted in just the right ways while the white dress that she wears is a great contrast to the black dress that she gets later in Heaven's Feel. Chu Culain (lancer fate/stay night) looks incredible with his blue skin-tight outfit that brings out his muscles, highlights his hair, and draws attention to his eyes - especially during his fight with Archer (the one where an explosion goes off behind him. Arturia looks amazing too although I like her casual outfit more than her other one. Kotomine pulls off a creepy priest outfit very well and looks hilarious as a chief. Kiritsugu's rugged appearance (it was mostly the hair) paired with the dark colors makes him look desolate while also giving off the feeling that he's only fighting because he has no other choice. Irisviel is adorable with her white coat while the red shirt she wears highlights her eyes (all together she look innocent). Ilya pulls off the innocent look a lot better than her mom but also has a sense of maturity with the purple colors that are her signature. Shirou is just Shirou there is no other way to describe his appearance although it's cute when he wears aprons (fate/Kaleid Shirou is a whole different version that has a certain darkness to his character and clothing during the movie but looks defeated in his first reappearance during the series.) Iskandar pulls off an outfit that almost screams 'hey look at me' especially the fur on his cloak collar. Like the fur seems like it would be too much but it contrasts with his bright hair nicely and breaks up the overflow of red from his cloak. Waver is adorable with his vest and sweater while looking... um different when he reappears in case files (it's not just the long hair either). Speaking of case files Grey is cute although she looks like Arturia, the little splash of fur on her cloak always reminded me of Iskandar while her having the hood up makes her eyes shine. Caster (fate/Zero) is creepy, way more creepy than he needs to be since the shape of his collar just makes you notice his face. Medea has a far more elegant appearance especially when the hem of her cloak moves on it's own. Medusa (Fate/Stay night) is honestly hot with her skin tight short dress (the chains! oh gods the chains!) while her stint as Anna in Babylon shows a child like innocence (thank god they gave that character a different name for a while) mainly due to the cloak and hood although her boots were designed to kick people and everyone knew it. Assassin (fate/stay night) had a kimono garb that made him stand out especially when he was fighting Arturia with her England style dress. Jack the Ripper in Apcropha does an amazing job tugging at heartstrings with her ripped oversized shirt that matches the homeless vibe yet is so different than her introductory outfit while her Master clearly embraced the whole prostitute appearance with the short green dress and heels. Atalanta and Achillies clearly show their connection through the use of greens in their outfits while never stating they're both from the same mythology on that note Chiron rocks the Greece skirt thing and thigh bracers. Also, Atalanta's second form is feral in appearance with the claws and fur not to mention heartbreaking and terrifying all in one. Hercules certainly looks like a greek hero contrasting with Illya's modern attire. Fate/Kaleid is adorable with all the Illya transformations especially her assassin attire that honestly makes her look cute and cuddly rather than frightening. I'm going to stop now... moral of the story Gilgamesh looks amazing in everything and sometimes in nothing. Bye, have a nice day loved the video.
