Do you think dislike for the art style of an anime, is a valid criticism against it?

I don't think so.
It's the story that truly matters for an anime. What do you guys think? Do you agree with the same?
 
Well.. critics could be come from every possible angle, voice acting, story, art style, number of episodes, theme songs. So.. it's okay for me
 
I watch anime, films and play video games and in all 3, story isn't of importance to me. It's the characters, first and foremost. And then the visuals, animation/art-style and gameplay respectively. So in an anime, if the art-style or animation is unbearable I usually quit. Though this hasn't happened a lot of times.

story isn't important at all?
but the coolest story can overrode the art style and even the bad voices too.

I replied to White Tiger's thread about this when he covertly called me out.

As for story and bad art I don't care about bad art all that much but I can't stand incompetent animation. Besides, I don't assign a lot of importance to story. If you want to know why visit that thread.

i think you are right about plot driver getting less attention than character driven
but only because you think a character deserves all that. what if you don't like the characters?

Well then I drop the show.

that's sad
if it's a really good mysterious anime like 'another', i would watch it to know what the mystery is.

Another was entertaining though, it's a somewhat fast-paced show. It was also dumb as hell but I enjoyed watching it.

No it's the ludicrous amount of gore and the cheesy scenes, dialogues and characters. Made it look like a low budget indie horror movie.

most of the gore scenes are like that
i have recently watched some horror movies and you would think another is fairly decent after watching them.

One doesn't negate the other. B movie horror generally involves gore.

it's just to make a huge impression.
nothing else other than that. but i think i agree too. so if it's an anime like that, you can't like a single character.

I mean I didn't dislike anyone in Another.
