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.

Ugh...I can't stand cutesy anime. I'm more of a fan of occult/horror and realistically styled anime.

I'm particularly fond of the animation styles in JinRoh, the first segment of Memories (Magnetic Rose), Ghost in the Shell (I hate how they're making the new series look 'anime-ish'), Blood, Rurouni Kenshin OVAs, Cowboy Bebop (especially the movie. WOW! ), Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.

If they make more anime with art stylings like those, I'll be flocking to see them.

I personally don't care about the artistic style as long as the story is good. Great example is Love Hina. Very cute style. I like it. I hate the premise and script. I quit watching it after about five episodes.

As long as it follows my usual tastes - no giant robots (I'm not a thirteen year old male, thank you, I have no fascination with symbolic wang-waving contests), no "boring guy that every girl in the show wants to bonk for no apparent reason except that the viewers identify with him and so live vicariously through him in some sad little way" character, no gratuitous and random throwing-in of Christian religious terms for no apparent reason other than that it makes people think it's "deep" ... then I'm game.

And yes, that pretty much rules out Evangelion.

Though, again, I do like the artistic style there.

ok my favorite style of anime would be the style they used in berserk because the swords and armor looked awsome. but when you get into it thats just personal preferance.

cowboy bebop is definitly an excelent anime drawing wise. the animation is perfect, the guns are done really well.

but the animation in trigun is almost perfect. it's close to cowboy bebop acuracy. but they're not afraid to throw in big badly drawn cartoon heads which is absolutly hilariuos. plus it probably gives the animators a break so the next frames are better than the ones before the big heads.
