* With ''Manga/MarchStory'' being a {{Seinen}} plot about beautiful works of art manifesting as superpowered demons, you'd think that the illustrator would have been payed a small fortune bringing such a concept to life. Examples include: March's powers to summon killer briars (her Il manifested from a barbed hook), a crescent earring possessing a CircusBrat that throws crescent moons that slice through people, a baby-like il that came from a glass mobil that summons magical butterflies, spilt blood used to evoke dark rose petals, and beautifully rendered sets that wouldn't look out of place from a Rococo landscape painting.

Examples of SugarWiki/AwesomeArt found in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----
* ''Manga/BlueFlag'' is praised for its style, that milks out as much as it can of the characters' expressions, letting a lot clear without having to say anything, and its beautiful panel composition.
* Creator/JunjiIto. He can make just about anything awesomely horrific. Here, look at this cute [[http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/2015/06/22/Soichi-s%20Beloved%20Pet.jpg kitten]]!
* Any works by Creator/StudioGhibli. The character art, mechanical design, backgrounds and musical score are always of a level of excellence that shames most animation companies.
* Creator/StudioGainax, Creator/TMSEntertainment and Creator/StudioBONES. Special mention for Gainax should go to ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'''s animation (especially during [[spoiler: Instrumentality]]), which makes even the best battles in the original series look like crap in comparison.
* Creator/Studio4C, especially their theatrical, western, short, and video game works. One of the amazing things about this studio is that, even if you know their name, you can never pin down their exact style, [[http://baratijasblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Halo-Legends-The-Babysitter-20.jpg because]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awgab-dC5v4/T4OhrQtzrjI/AAAAAAAAAds/_5XRBDdCpr0/s1600/Have+I+Got+a+Story+for+You.png it]] [[http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/animatrix_sm03.jpg keeps]] [[http://www.cinemasie.com/fr/photos/4q/64/bf/mind2.jpg on]] [[https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280/iE4eCmo9w9GLjIHPiAaWokCCL0t.jpg changing.]] And they show their love for every frame they're involved with.
* ''Manga/BlackButler'' has some [[http://i.imgur.com/MC5EL.jpg utterly]] ''[[http://i45.tinypic.com/e7mip5.jpg gorgeous.]]'' [[http://www.madman.com.au/wallpapers/black_butler_(kuroshitsuj_526_1680.jpg art]].
* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' counts for this in its entirety.
* The ''Manga/{{Hellsing}} Ultimate'' [=OVAs=] are impeccable in terms of quality and animation.
** The manga is no slouch either. While the first three volumes are rather average, the last seven volumes are almost impeccable. Say what you want about Hirano being a lazy artist, you can't deny that he takes pride in his art.
* If there's one thing people remember the 1988 film adaptation of ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' for, it's its incredibly fluid & detailed animation, being on-par with a well-done Western-animated production. To elaborate on the film's level of detail, watch the characters' mouths when they talk. Because ''AKIRA'' is one of few animes to feature pre-recorded dialogue, it notably forgoes the standard use of lip-flaps, meaning that the character's mouths move in perfect accordance to what they're saying. The whole film is also shot in a solid 24 frames-per-second, ''twice'' the framerate of the average anime; that's not even getting into the fact that this entire film utilizes over ''160,000 cels'' over the course of a 121-minute runtime, with the only use of digital animation being the pattern indicator on a single medical computer. As a result, ''AKIRA'' is still widely considered to be one of the best-looking anime to date; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtPhrCTjMtQ the trailer alone]] does an excellent job at showing just how amazing the entire film looks.
* ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' combines great character design with beautifully detailed backgrounds.
* Inariya Fusanosuke's art is consistently beautiful, detailed, and well-composed in her manga, especially ''Manga/MaidenRose''. The only thing one could complain about is she doesn't do enough [[http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/1/26474l.jpg in colour]].
* Creator/MakotoShinkai's works. [[http://www.titanicfilmfest.hu/2009/php_images/images_s3/masodpercenkent.jpg Just]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TLYCdoBUalI/TA1HY3vshUI/AAAAAAAAVDM/_VhTL2C2MkE/s1600/5+Centimeters+Per+Second.jpg Look]] [[http://anime.prototype27.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/beyondclouds1.jpg At]] [[http://nenuno.co.uk/creative/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/makoto-shinkai-1.jpg This]]!
* ''Anime/RedLine'' takes this trope, drives it UpToEleven, bangs its brains out, and then it goes ''beyond even that''.
** R-R-R-R-RED [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t26m_Q6ENo LINE]]
** And on that note, the character designer went on to work on ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine''. The fandom agrees that it's probably the best-looking ''Lupin III'' anime, ''ever''.
* Although Creator/NaokiUrasawa's characters are fairly simple, his backgrounds, action sequences, and composition are beyond amazing. Just look at the [[ShiningCity Shining Cities]] of ''Manga/{{Pluto}}'', the GiantRobot sequences of ''Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys'', and the ridiculously accurate {{Real Place Background}}s of ''Manga/{{Monster}}''. Just to start with.
* ''Manga/OnePiece''. It's incredible to think that Creator/EiichiroOda comes up with [[http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/506022 these sorts of illustrations]], often on a weekly basis.
* The works of Creator/TetsuoHara are well-known for their highly detailed and intricate art styles, with ''Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky'' being a particular example of his artistic talent (every panel is startlingly close to photorealistic). Sadly, Hara ended up developing keratoconus, an extremely rare degenerative disorder[[labelnote:Note]]The chances of developing it are one in a ''million''[[/labelnote]] where the cornea tightens into a conical shape and become nonfunctional, in one of his eyes. This has killed his sense of depth perception, leaving him unable to draw the beautifully realistic manga that were his claim to fame without an assistant.
* The ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokemon]]'' battles from Masaaki Iwane's animation team tend to be the best in the series.
** While the [[Film/{{Pokemon}} movies]] always have better animation than the TV series, there are some, such as ''[[Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[Anime/PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', that really stand out.
** ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesSunAndMoon''. While the actual art-style is [[BrokenBase polarizing]], nobody is denying that it boasts the most fluid animation in the anime's entire run.
* ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''. Just look at [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ryougi_magan_8423.jpg this image]]. Everything else is just like that or better.
* The witches' labyrinths in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' are beautifully disturbing and wonderfully surreal landscapes, bringing an art style that is rarely seen in anime.
* The ''Manga/WanderingSon'' anime looks like a high-quality anime movie, full of SceneryPorn and beautiful character designs. The manga isn't anything to laugh at either, especially when it comes to the character designs.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Creator/KentaroMiura puts so much gorgeous, beautiful detail into every scene, from epic battles, to love scenes, characters, and facial expressions.
* ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier''. Shirahama's delicate traditional etching linework and the sheer amount of detail would have put her in the same leagues as Berserk or Vinland Saga. But her panelling separates Witch Hat Atelier from the rest, becoming a character in itself and making WHA incredibly unique. Suffice to say, her art is absolutely ''gorgeous'' to look at.
* ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}'': Stylized and more colorful than a circus, but [[http://www.gamerinjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mononoke.jpg detailed]] and [[http://jamiewords.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/mononoke01.jpg?w=450&h=300 gorgeous]].
* ''Anime/MouryouNoHako'': Beautiful colours, [[SceneryPorn gorgeous panoramic vistas]], skilful, fluid animation courtesy of Creator/{{Madhouse}} and lovely character designs by the renowned Creator/{{CLAMP}}.
* ''Manga/{{Amatsuki}}'': Not only are the inked drawings detailed, fluid, and just [[http://37.media.tumblr.com/13843084ba553ba008d4b1e5829bb660/tumblr_mliocdRhtg1rybbcgo1_1280.jpg lovely to look at]], but every coloured piece of art is a veritable feast for the eyes.
* ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'': The character designs, clothes, buildings, natural and artificial scenery, jewellery and ''machinery''.
* ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName'': Both the manga and the anime have ''gorgeous'' artwork; characters, backgrounds, clothes, accessories, buildings, demons, summoned weapons -- everything is stylized and elaborate, and really goes above and beyond the GenericCuteness seen in most shoujo manga/anime.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODrX0Jf4oNw The]] [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVA's]] of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''. It's certainly a vast improvement over the game's wooden animations, which certainly haven't aged too well in comparison to the otherwise well-designed in-game models.
* ''Anime/WolfsRain'' has probably some of the best animation of wolves you'll find in anime.
* ''Anime/TurnAGundam''. The last Gundam series to use hand-drawn animation and [[http://julalien.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/29447_turna2_122_902lo.jpg it is spectacularly beautiful]].
* ''[[Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit Seirei no Moribito's]]'' art can easily rival the best that Creator/StudioGhibli has to offer, which is apparent from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHMpso3xkeQ its OP]], to its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdkW7nHD5wU fight scenes.]] Along with a compelling script and [[ConstructedWorld an engrossing world]] to tie it all together.
* ''Anime/VariableGeo'' is a 3-part OVA that's [[TheAnimeOfTheGame loosely based on]] the ''Advanced V.G'' series [[note]] covered below, in the video games section [[/note]], so it uses the same '90s style character design, but with more [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_z3YxPQ20s detailed art]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bj_k9WLc-I fluid animation.]]
* While ''Manga/DeathNote'' maintains high quality artwork throughout, [[AnimationBump Episode]] [[WhamEpisode 25]] takes this to a whole other level, and is a genuine work of art. Some of the highlights are the opening, Misa's song and her scene in her bedroom, L and Light's conversation on the rooftop, and, of course, [[spoiler: L's death.]]
* Almost anything from Creator/{{Madhouse}}, such as the above mentioned anime adaptation of ''Manga/DeathNote'' and the animated versions of ''Anime/{{Metropolis}}'', ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'', the 2011 ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' adaptation, and ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts''. While this [[OffModel doesn't apply that well]] to the anime, [[http://www.zerochan.net/691528 it]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/1198572 certainly]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/883877 does]] in the manga.
* One of the only things fans of ''Manga/AirGear'' can agree on is that the artwork is fantastic. The character designs started off weak and somewhat inconsistent, but they were cleared up by the tenth volume, and the backgrounds and technology in the series are always drawn superbly.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'' is full of this. The animation is so beautiful and fluid, it's hard to believe it's a TV series. Special mention goes to the skateboarding scene in the first episode.
* ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld''. From looking at the beauty of the background art and the fluid motions of the characters, it's easy to confuse the TV series as a Creator/HayaoMiyazaki film. There might be some DerangedAnimation and OffModel in Episode 5 and 10, but even then [[ItMakesSenseInContext it's purposeful]] and unique.
* [[Manga/RosarioPlusVampire Akihisa Ikeda's]] artwork. Every character has a distinct look and the monster designs range from awesome to creepy to nightmare inducing. His men are true bishounen, his children adorable, and he can draw some beautiful women that usually do not need to be busty to be gorgeous. [[ArtEvolution While his early work was rough, over time it has gotten so beautiful]] it's shocking that this guy doesn't have a manga equivalent of an Eisner.
* Everything by Creator/PAWorks. From ''Anime/TrueTears'', ''Anime/{{Canaan}}'', ''Anime/HanasakuIroha'', ''Anime/AngelBeats'', ''Literature/{{Another}}'', to ''Anime/TariTari'', all their anime are full with [[AnimationBump gorgeously beautiful detailed art]] and SceneryPorn. Their new anime [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAc9KKUMTAc trailer]], ''Anime/NagiAsuALullInTheSea'' shows us that they are master of this trope.
* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}''. The amount of detail Mitsutoshi Shimabakuro puts into the [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/3/3f/Toriko_preparing_for_Double_Kugi_Punch.jpg characters]], [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/8/8c/Gaoh.PNG animals]] and [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/e/e8/TEMPLE.JPG environments]] is staggering.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Like [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar the manga that influenced it]], ''[=JoJo=]'' features incredible amounts of detail backed up by the fabulous character designs and unique fight scenes. [[Creator/HirohikoAraki Hirohiko Araki's]] [[ArtEvolution constantly-evolving]] art style also allows each part of the manga to define and redefine its own distinctive appearance as the story goes on, while still retaining the same basic characteristics of what many consider to be the definite [=JoJo=] look.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Even if you don't care about the story (which is pretty engrossing, btw), you can easily find yourself reading it for the manga's artwork alone. It features detailed backgrounds and anime style character designs right from the start, but from chapter 16 onwards, it. Gets. BETTER.'''
* Creator/TsutomuTakahashi (author of ''Manga/{{Skyhigh}}'', ''Manga/{{Jiraishin}}'', and ''Manga/{{Sidooh}}'') is an extremely skilled draftsman with a very distinct, sketchy style of inking that's [[http://i4.minus.com/iEHah5E6F15y7.jpg gorgeous to look at]]. While he does have a bit of an OnlySixFaces problem at times with the more attractive characters, he averts it with everyone else, firmly placing them in CastOfSnowflakes territory. He has a knack for drawing vivid and powerful facial expressions, [[http://i3.minus.com/ibwZJ8M2AjOAtn.jpg a lot of which will scare you]].
* The ''Anime/{{Genocyber}}'' [=OVAs=] use some incredibly slick animation and the sheer amount of detail maintained in it's {{Gorn}} and LudicrousGibs is truly staggering. They basically turn bloodbath's into an artform.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': The art itself was consistently awesome and ''way'' ahead of its time, but the recently released full color version of [[Manga/DragonBall the manga]] is proof Creator/AkiraToriyama's art is like red wine: it gets better with age. From the [[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131217070440/dragonball/images/2/22/230_02.png famous battles]], [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130330105125/dragonball/images/f/fa/DBFCCh317%28VJump%29.jpg famous transformations]], [[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131213055132/dragonball/images/e/e0/DBFCM_324.jpg famous scenery]] and [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131214113641/dragonball/images/a/af/DBFCM_519.jpg just awesome]] [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130418185123/dragonball/images/2/2f/DBZMangaChapter323.png art in]] [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130204192209/dragonball/images/e/e3/Ch14P1.png general]], you really wouldn't think this manga is more than thirty years old.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' really stepped up the art for the latter chapters. The end of Chapter 669 shows off how detailed Kishi can make the art. Chapter 671 is made of this, with the color pages being downright artistic, and then Kishi keeps the train going with a two page spread looking like an old style Japanese ink painting.
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has a unique art-style and is full of [[SceneryPorn detailed and realistic-looking backgrounds and scenery]].
* ''Anime/BelladonnaOfSadness'' is filled with beautiful paintings and [[Main/LimitedAnimation occasionally]] [[Main/AnimationBump beautiful animation]].

* ''Manga/AngelSanctuary''. Wonderful character designs, lots of {{Fanservice}}, and a ridiculously awesome art book that's not only large and exquisitely detailed, but IN COLOR.
* ''Manga/{{Vagabond}}'' is probably one of the most technically impressive comics of all time. Every character has a detailed, realistic design that remains consistent no matter the angle, facial expressions are vivid and striking, the backgrounds are lush and detailed, Inoue's brushstrokes are vivid and full of life, and it just gets better and better as time goes on.
* The AnimatedAdaptation of ''LightNovel/SundayWithoutGod'' has grandiose lighting, GhibliHills that would make the actual ''Creator/StudioGhibli'' proud and character designs that just perfectly fit into it all. The covers of the LightNovel, as seen on its page, are just as beautiful. Just take a look at the opening [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4RiURBhQE here]].
* Creator/YusukeMurata's catalog in general. Either ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'' or his redrawn version of ''WebComic/OnePunchMan''. Not only the man can give life to ONE's somewhat crude artwork, he can give it [[http://www.deculture.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/one-punch-man-manga-gif-4.gif movement]] that looks straight out of a an anime.
* Creator/InioAsano, although he gets a lot of flack for incorporating (his own) photos into his backgrounds, definitely deserves mention. His characters are often still incredibly detailed and vivid -- especially in ''Manga/OyasumiPunpun'' -- and you can't argue with the results.
* ''Manga/VinlandSaga'' boasts realistic and varied character designs, very dynamic fight scenes, and an attention to detail that truly brings the manga's era and story to life.
* ''Anime/KabaneriOfTheIronFortress'': Say what you will of the [[ExcusePlot weak story]] or flat characters, Kabaneri boasts some of the best character [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CWfTIPoU8AESqAq.jpg designs]] seen [[http://www.japanator.com/ul/34954-/Kabaneri-of-the-Iron-Fortress-1-noscale.jpg in]] recent [[https://tvfiles.alphacoders.com/587/poster-thumb-58766.jpg anime history]], if not some of the best in anime history. to see it in motion look [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBzv69BHQEA here]]
* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'': Miyama Zero's llustrations of the novels have very high quality [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/highschooldxd/images/6/6c/DxD_V22_color_illustration_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160815014255 art]] and [[https://occult-research.club/project/images/7/79/Shin_High_School_DxD_V2_Illustration_1_col.jpeg they]] are gorgeous.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** Creator/KoheiHorikoshi's art is absolutely detailed and ''dynamic''.
** The anime has amazing animation, specially when it comes to battles.
* ''Anime/SpaceDandy'': Considering '''''[[Creator/StudioBones who]]''''' made it, this is a given. But it goes doubly so as most episodes have a different art director, and sometimes the style becomes ''very'' different. You never know what you are gonna get.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'', ''especially'' in the latest chapters.
* ''Manga/ToiletBoundHanakoKun'': The manga's art is absolutely ''gorgeous'', with almost every page being a piece of art in its own right. The anime isn't anything less either, with rich and lavish coloring in ''every single scene''. In fact, besides the compelling story, the unique art is one of the series' major charms and has attracted a ''lot'' of fans.
* A lot of the animation and backgrounds in the ''Franchise/{{Tamagotchi}}'' theatrical films and TV show are really well done and nice to look at. It helps that they're all animated by Creator/OLMIncorporated, who have also animated the similarly fluid ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
* ''Manga/DragonGoesHouseHunting'' has a very detailed artwork that's almost painting-like while still allowing for dynamic expressions.
* The art of the manga for ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' is incredible, with not only appealing character designs but fascinating visual effects and covers.
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': From realistically designed yet fluidly animated characters to a wide color palette that incorporates perfect shading, to incredibly detailed backgrounds, this is one of the best-looking anime of all time.
----
----
* ''Manga/BlueFlag'' is praised for its style, that milks out as much as it can of the characters' expressions, letting a lot clear without having to say anything, and its beautiful panel composition.
* Creator/JunjiIto. He can make just about anything awesomely horrific. Here, look at this cute [[http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/2015/06/22/Soichi-s%20Beloved%20Pet.jpg kitten]]!
* Any works by Creator/StudioGhibli. The character art, mechanical design, backgrounds and musical score are always of a level of excellence that shames most animation companies.
* Creator/StudioGainax, Creator/TMSEntertainment and Creator/StudioBONES. Special mention for Gainax should go to ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'''s animation (especially during [[spoiler: Instrumentality]]), which makes even the best battles in the original series look like crap in comparison.
* Creator/Studio4C, especially their theatrical, western, short, and video game works. One of the amazing things about this studio is that, even if you know their name, you can never pin down their exact style, [[http://baratijasblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Halo-Legends-The-Babysitter-20.jpg because]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awgab-dC5v4/T4OhrQtzrjI/AAAAAAAAAds/_5XRBDdCpr0/s1600/Have+I+Got+a+Story+for+You.png it]] [[http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/animatrix_sm03.jpg keeps]] [[http://www.cinemasie.com/fr/photos/4q/64/bf/mind2.jpg on]] [[https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w1280/iE4eCmo9w9GLjIHPiAaWokCCL0t.jpg changing.]] And they show their love for every frame they're involved with.
* ''Manga/BlackButler'' has some [[http://i.imgur.com/MC5EL.jpg utterly]] ''[[http://i45.tinypic.com/e7mip5.jpg gorgeous.]]'' [[http://www.madman.com.au/wallpapers/black_butler_(kuroshitsuj_526_1680.jpg art]].
* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' counts for this in its entirety.
* The ''Manga/{{Hellsing}} Ultimate'' [=OVAs=] are impeccable in terms of quality and animation.
** The manga is no slouch either. While the first three volumes are rather average, the last seven volumes are almost impeccable. Say what you want about Hirano being a lazy artist, you can't deny that he takes pride in his art.
* If there's one thing people remember the 1988 film adaptation of ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' for, it's its incredibly fluid & detailed animation, being on-par with a well-done Western-animated production. To elaborate on the film's level of detail, watch the characters' mouths when they talk. Because ''AKIRA'' is one of few animes to feature pre-recorded dialogue, it notably forgoes the standard use of lip-flaps, meaning that the character's mouths move in perfect accordance to what they're saying. The whole film is also shot in a solid 24 frames-per-second, ''twice'' the framerate of the average anime; that's not even getting into the fact that this entire film utilizes over ''160,000 cels'' over the course of a 121-minute runtime, with the only use of digital animation being the pattern indicator on a single medical computer. As a result, ''AKIRA'' is still widely considered to be one of the best-looking anime to date; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtPhrCTjMtQ the trailer alone]] does an excellent job at showing just how amazing the entire film looks.
* ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' combines great character design with beautifully detailed backgrounds.
* Inariya Fusanosuke's art is consistently beautiful, detailed, and well-composed in her manga, especially ''Manga/MaidenRose''. The only thing one could complain about is she doesn't do enough [[http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/1/26474l.jpg in colour]].
* Creator/MakotoShinkai's works. [[http://www.titanicfilmfest.hu/2009/php_images/images_s3/masodpercenkent.jpg Just]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TLYCdoBUalI/TA1HY3vshUI/AAAAAAAAVDM/_VhTL2C2MkE/s1600/5+Centimeters+Per+Second.jpg Look]] [[http://anime.prototype27.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/beyondclouds1.jpg At]] [[http://nenuno.co.uk/creative/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/makoto-shinkai-1.jpg This]]!
* ''Anime/RedLine'' takes this trope, drives it UpToEleven, bangs its brains out, and then it goes ''beyond even that''.
** R-R-R-R-RED [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t26m_Q6ENo LINE]]
** And on that note, the character designer went on to work on ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine''. The fandom agrees that it's probably the best-looking ''Lupin III'' anime, ''ever''.
* Although Creator/NaokiUrasawa's characters are fairly simple, his backgrounds, action sequences, and composition are beyond amazing. Just look at the [[ShiningCity Shining Cities]] of ''Manga/{{Pluto}}'', the GiantRobot sequences of ''Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys'', and the ridiculously accurate {{Real Place Background}}s of ''Manga/{{Monster}}''. Just to start with.
* ''Manga/OnePiece''. It's incredible to think that Creator/EiichiroOda comes up with [[http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/506022 these sorts of illustrations]], often on a weekly basis.
* The works of Creator/TetsuoHara are well-known for their highly detailed and intricate art styles, with ''Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky'' being a particular example of his artistic talent (every panel is startlingly close to photorealistic). Sadly, Hara ended up developing keratoconus, an extremely rare degenerative disorder[[labelnote:Note]]The chances of developing it are one in a ''million''[[/labelnote]] where the cornea tightens into a conical shape and become nonfunctional, in one of his eyes. This has killed his sense of depth perception, leaving him unable to draw the beautifully realistic manga that were his claim to fame without an assistant.
* The ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokemon]]'' battles from Masaaki Iwane's animation team tend to be the best in the series.
** While the [[Film/{{Pokemon}} movies]] always have better animation than the TV series, there are some, such as ''[[Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[Anime/PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', that really stand out.
** ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesSunAndMoon''. While the actual art-style is [[BrokenBase polarizing]], nobody is denying that it boasts the most fluid animation in the anime's entire run.
* ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''. Just look at [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ryougi_magan_8423.jpg this image]]. Everything else is just like that or better.
* The witches' labyrinths in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' are beautifully disturbing and wonderfully surreal landscapes, bringing an art style that is rarely seen in anime.
* The ''Manga/WanderingSon'' anime looks like a high-quality anime movie, full of SceneryPorn and beautiful character designs. The manga isn't anything to laugh at either, especially when it comes to the character designs.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Creator/KentaroMiura puts so much gorgeous, beautiful detail into every scene, from epic battles, to love scenes, characters, and facial expressions.
* ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier''. Shirahama's delicate traditional etching linework and the sheer amount of detail would have put her in the same leagues as Berserk or Vinland Saga. But her panelling separates Witch Hat Atelier from the rest, becoming a character in itself and making WHA incredibly unique. Suffice to say, her art is absolutely ''gorgeous'' to look at.
* ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}'': Stylized and more colorful than a circus, but [[http://www.gamerinjapan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mononoke.jpg detailed]] and [[http://jamiewords.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/mononoke01.jpg?w=450&h=300 gorgeous]].
* ''Anime/MouryouNoHako'': Beautiful colours, [[SceneryPorn gorgeous panoramic vistas]], skilful, fluid animation courtesy of Creator/{{Madhouse}} and lovely character designs by the renowned Creator/{{CLAMP}}.
* ''Manga/{{Amatsuki}}'': Not only are the inked drawings detailed, fluid, and just [[http://37.media.tumblr.com/13843084ba553ba008d4b1e5829bb660/tumblr_mliocdRhtg1rybbcgo1_1280.jpg lovely to look at]], but every coloured piece of art is a veritable feast for the eyes.
* ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'': The character designs, clothes, buildings, natural and artificial scenery, jewellery and ''machinery''.
* ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName'': Both the manga and the anime have ''gorgeous'' artwork; characters, backgrounds, clothes, accessories, buildings, demons, summoned weapons -- everything is stylized and elaborate, and really goes above and beyond the GenericCuteness seen in most shoujo manga/anime.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODrX0Jf4oNw The]] [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVA's]] of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''. It's certainly a vast improvement over the game's wooden animations, which certainly haven't aged too well in comparison to the otherwise well-designed in-game models.
* ''Anime/WolfsRain'' has probably some of the best animation of wolves you'll find in anime.
* ''Anime/TurnAGundam''. The last Gundam series to use hand-drawn animation and [[http://julalien.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/29447_turna2_122_902lo.jpg it is spectacularly beautiful]].
* ''[[Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit Seirei no Moribito's]]'' art can easily rival the best that Creator/StudioGhibli has to offer, which is apparent from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHMpso3xkeQ its OP]], to its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdkW7nHD5wU fight scenes.]] Along with a compelling script and [[ConstructedWorld an engrossing world]] to tie it all together.
* ''Anime/VariableGeo'' is a 3-part OVA that's [[TheAnimeOfTheGame loosely based on]] the ''Advanced V.G'' series [[note]] covered below, in the video games section [[/note]], so it uses the same '90s style character design, but with more [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_z3YxPQ20s detailed art]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bj_k9WLc-I fluid animation.]]
* While ''Manga/DeathNote'' maintains high quality artwork throughout, [[AnimationBump Episode]] [[WhamEpisode 25]] takes this to a whole other level, and is a genuine work of art. Some of the highlights are the opening, Misa's song and her scene in her bedroom, L and Light's conversation on the rooftop, and, of course, [[spoiler: L's death.]]
* Almost anything from Creator/{{Madhouse}}, such as the above mentioned anime adaptation of ''Manga/DeathNote'' and the animated versions of ''Anime/{{Metropolis}}'', ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'', the 2011 ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' adaptation, and ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts''. While this [[OffModel doesn't apply that well]] to the anime, [[http://www.zerochan.net/691528 it]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/1198572 certainly]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/883877 does]] in the manga.
* One of the only things fans of ''Manga/AirGear'' can agree on is that the artwork is fantastic. The character designs started off weak and somewhat inconsistent, but they were cleared up by the tenth volume, and the backgrounds and technology in the series are always drawn superbly.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'' is full of this. The animation is so beautiful and fluid, it's hard to believe it's a TV series. Special mention goes to the skateboarding scene in the first episode.
* ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld''. From looking at the beauty of the background art and the fluid motions of the characters, it's easy to confuse the TV series as a Creator/HayaoMiyazaki film. There might be some DerangedAnimation and OffModel in Episode 5 and 10, but even then [[ItMakesSenseInContext it's purposeful]] and unique.
* [[Manga/RosarioPlusVampire Akihisa Ikeda's]] artwork. Every character has a distinct look and the monster designs range from awesome to creepy to nightmare inducing. His men are true bishounen, his children adorable, and he can draw some beautiful women that usually do not need to be busty to be gorgeous. [[ArtEvolution While his early work was rough, over time it has gotten so beautiful]] it's shocking that this guy doesn't have a manga equivalent of an Eisner.
* Everything by Creator/PAWorks. From ''Anime/TrueTears'', ''Anime/{{Canaan}}'', ''Anime/HanasakuIroha'', ''Anime/AngelBeats'', ''Literature/{{Another}}'', to ''Anime/TariTari'', all their anime are full with [[AnimationBump gorgeously beautiful detailed art]] and SceneryPorn. Their new anime [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAc9KKUMTAc trailer]], ''Anime/NagiAsuALullInTheSea'' shows us that they are master of this trope.
* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}''. The amount of detail Mitsutoshi Shimabakuro puts into the [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/3/3f/Toriko_preparing_for_Double_Kugi_Punch.jpg characters]], [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/8/8c/Gaoh.PNG animals]] and [[http://images.wikia.com/toriko/images/e/e8/TEMPLE.JPG environments]] is staggering.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Like [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar the manga that influenced it]], ''[=JoJo=]'' features incredible amounts of detail backed up by the fabulous character designs and unique fight scenes. [[Creator/HirohikoAraki Hirohiko Araki's]] [[ArtEvolution constantly-evolving]] art style also allows each part of the manga to define and redefine its own distinctive appearance as the story goes on, while still retaining the same basic characteristics of what many consider to be the definite [=JoJo=] look.

* A lot of the animation and backgrounds in the ''Franchise/{{Tamagotchi}}'' theatrical films and TV show are really well done and nice to look at. It helps that they're all animated by Creator/OLMIncorporated, who have also animated the similarly fluid ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''.
* ''Manga/DragonGoesHouseHunting'' has a very detailed artwork that's almost painting-like while still allowing for dynamic expressions.
* The art of the manga for ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' is incredible, with not only appealing character designs but fascinating visual effects and covers.
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': From realistically designed yet fluidly animated characters to a wide color palette that incorporates perfect shading, to incredibly detailed backgrounds, this is one of the best-looking anime of all time.
