Curvy to the extreme. Beak noses I tolerate to an extent. (Evangelion, yes. Escaflowne, somebody FILE DOWN THOSE SHARP EYE POKING HAZARDS!)
Fav examples. Onegai Teacher, Real Bout High School, Great Teacher Onizuka.
The key art style for me is the nose/eye execution, with bodies coming up close behind. The Manga, "Bastard!!!" has my all time favorite style. Luscious babes, badass heroes, etc.
To be more precise in art "style", one should look at the Character Designs of anime.
I wish I knew the Character Designer of Onegai Teacher, but I couldn't find credits anywhere.
People I know who does nice character designs:
Kazushi Hagiwara (yep I know, I've said it a million times, my all time fav artist)
Oh Great! (He did some H-Manga but if you read Himiko Den and/or Tenjyou Tenge, you may actually find a nicely building plot or 3)
Tsukasa Kotobuki (for those who don't know, he does though wyld and wacky character designs for the Saber Marionette J Series)
Keiji Gotoh (like ALL the regular anime I love watching: Nadesico, Hyper Police, Gatekeepers, Those who Hunt Elves, Real Bout High School, and a million others. You'd think these companies would have found someone ELSE to draw their character designs!)
for Femme artists:
Rumiko Takahashi: Inu Yasha and Ranma are some "standard" anime anyone should see.
Yu Watase: Tor Fantasy lovers and people who liked "The Neverending Story" may jump on her manga/anime.
Yu Asagiri: For those of you who may/may not know, she's the Hentai mistress of "Midnight Panther". Her art isn't just beautifully detailed, it can cut to downright gory at times.
