!!Examples of Humans Are Easier To Draw:

[[AC:Straight Examples]]
* Mention must be made of ''Anime/WolfsRain''. The animators had far more experience animating appealing human characters; their animal characters tend to look a little off. So there are whole episodes in the series where the animal characters spend all their time [[HumanityEnsues in human form]] (ItMakesSenseInContext) when there is no particular reason to do so.
* Similar to the ''Wolf's Rain'' example, Yoshihiro Takahashi's works tend to invert Animals Are Easier to Draw. This is especially so in the anime adaptation of ''Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed''. The dogs can look so strange as to be cringe-worthy. ''Manga/GingaNagareboshiGin'' suffers from this as well, but not nearly as badly. Humans in these series, on the other hand, tend to be rather well-drawn.
