Default 5/18/08 - 5 anime with the best art style

Last time was a pretty wide-open topic, so for this week we'll go a bit on the narrow side and vote for the 5 anime with the best art styles.

There are a number of anime out there that choose to deviate from the standard way of drawing things. They might use cel-shading, or heavy cg, or draw the characters' faces in some unique way, or any number of things. Which series have you seen whose art style you particularly liked?

Happy Voting ^_^

***Voting Closed***

This week's top 5:

Mushishi
Princess Mononoke
Last Exile
Gankutsuou
Seirei no Moribito

Thanks for voting!

Diary of Tortov Roddle
Princess Mononoke and
Howl's Moving Castle (though almost everything Ghibli looks interesting/ incredible)

Utena - characters may not have the most appealing designs (WHERE ARE THEIR PUPILS?!), but every other visual aspect of that show is pretty much perfect for the story.
Evangelion - This show pretty much defines the "anime style" for me.
Appleseed - The 2004 one, of course. Pretty darn revolutionary.
Death Note - The setting may have been a typical modern city (done very well at that), but I don't think I've seen a show handle camera angles so incredibly well.
Place Promised in Our Early Days - man, I need to get my hands on 5 Centimeters per Second. Really bad. Shinkai ftw.

Hmm, style eh? Well, at least it's different than best art.

Last Exile - Range Murata
Hoshi no Koe - The best at panning and scanning
Kakurenbo - Just watch
Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu - Unique like Sugar Sugar Rune without looking like meth-heads
Alien Nine - Never have chibis been so out of place and yet so right

Special mention
Plastic Little - Satoshi Urushihara
Haibane Renmei - Yoshitoshi ABe
