Ristar Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I used to love anime... quite a lot. I'd go out of my way to watch all sorts of cool anime films and stuff, collect manga books and even bought stuff from the How to Draw Manga website. Then when I turned 16, I sort of realised that 90% of it is really fucking stupid. It was round about the time when Yu Gi Oh, Beyblade, Card Captor Sakura, Hamtaro and other daft stuff was on Cartoon Network aaaall the time. One of the things I love to find when watching anime these days is the most ridiculous hair. So, because my favourite retro VG music thread seemed to do quite well, I thought we'd have a "Most Ridiculous Anime Hair" competition. It can be from manga, anime or japanese games - I just want to see silly hair. Extra points for mullets! So to start us off: I was quite impressed by the amount of relatively normal hairstyles in FF13, until this prick turned up... I mean, how many anime cliches can you fit into one style?

tentril Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 That guy doesn't have that ridiculous hair. Also, of course 90% of what you watch will be stupid is all you watch is the terrible shit that gets localized. And 90% of any form of entertainment is fucking stupid anyway.

Ristar Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wouldn't be seen dead with that hairstyle Also, I only watch the shit that gets localised because I don't really go out of my way to watch undubbed anime. And regardless of whether it's localised or not, there are still some daft hairstyles. The hairstyles will still be stupid whether they're translated or not. I used to watch loads of OVAs when they were on SciFi back in the late 90s - stuff like Bubblegum Crash, Golgo 13, Goku Midnight Eye, Roujin Z, Macross etc. and I used to think they were the shit back then. Looking back, I think Golgo 13 was the only decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 You got it all wrong. The winner here is Grevil, er, Glaviel (or whatever the fuck the spelling is) from Gosick. Just... damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well yes, a lot of the hairstyles are pretty crazy, but that doesn't excuse just writing anime off entirely as 90% shit. Also, I would have that hairstyle (minus the blue) in any state living or dead, and I pretty much do. That being said, I'm trying really hard to think of some crazy anime hair, but I'm so immune to it from too much anime. How about this guy? He appears to have a few lines shaved into the side of his hair and then slicked back hair as well. EDIT: Well fuck everyone else loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well, he's a policeman. But he sucks. All his praises are thanks to his little sister's deduction skills. Protagonist goes all WTF when he sees that haircut at first. So yeah, he's a totally-not-serious character. I wiiiiiiiiin. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citrouille Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 First of all, Grevil's hair is RIDIC. I LOVE IT. But everyone else in Gosick is pretty normal-looking. Secondly, I really can't take anything OP says seriously because the first paragraph mentions that you purchased shit from the How to Draw Manga peeps so my mind went 'HERP DERP' for realz Ok now for some real awesome haircuts http://lounge.moviecodec.com/images/attachment/zoom-vs-goku-488.jpg THE ORIGINAL http://sailorscoutwolrd.webs.com/photos/Moon-Sailor-Scouts/7.JPG how about them hair meatballs? http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/S/SH/SHA/SHAIY/1229991806_2237_full.jpeg gravity is useless. http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/74/41308-yugi_pokemon_large.jpg wut http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs38/f/2008/348/f/f/Tenjou_Tenge___Maya__s_Fans_by_Xpand_Your_Mind.jpg apparently tenjo tenge is all about boobs sry but yeah, OP picture is not that ridiculous. I think it's really pretty. Kuja's hair is crazier. Here's some bonus pictures of crazy real life hair! http://www.mopo.ca/uploaded_images/crazy-haircut2-759920.jpg http://www.1designer-clothing.com/wp-content/uploads/crazy-hair-horse.jpg Okay, I'll go back into my hole now But yaaay for Gosick!

GSF Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Goku and Yugi are classics. But they don't hold shit against DRILL HAIR. And no. Just came across pics and the whole "hahahahahah" thing. Just had to check it out. Might actually read later. Also, I want to kill everyone who jumps on the whole "-ka versus -que" thing. It's just retarded.

citrouille Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Goku and Yugi are classics. But they don't hold shit against DRILL HAIR. Lol true facts. I guess it doesn't really seem that crazy to me because it's a lot like a pompadour, and yeah, it's pretty crazy, but it was also pretty popular in the past! Also in the Katamari games, and a movie where this guy has this hair: I guess I've just been exposed to it too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ristar Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Kamikaze Girls? also, citrouille, I was about 12 or 13 when I bought the overpriced shit from the HtDM site... I'm 21 now lolz. So I'm the only one that thinks the blue haired kid from FF13 has some downright silly hair? Kuja... jesus what a trap. Women would be envious of his hips.

Zenor Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I had a good dose of Crazy hairs when I was watching Shiki. Some of them were just "Hey, what's gravity?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Okay maybe it isn't so crazy upon first glance, and maybe it might not count, but I have always found Alucard's hair from Hellsing to be a bit nuts. Sure it looks normal but as soon as he starts going into creepy mode its floating all over the damn place, and changing its length from long to short etc etc. It just goes off and does it's own thing. I was trying to find pictures but I couldn't really find any. Otherwise Hellsing didn't have too many crazy hairstyles unless you count Alucard. If not then I'll have to get back to this topic after, I do not watch very much anime so its hard for me to remember the ones I did watch that had crazy hair since its been a while. I do have to admit, that the crazy hair has always been one of the elements I do really like about anime/manga and thus I tend to draw a lot of characters with that type of hair haha.

DimensionWarped Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Holy shit. That's just wrong. Very wrong. Speaking of that haircut, Binbou from Excel Saga. I can't find any useful videos and pictures don't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Seymore from FFX. No, seriously. It couldn't have been hair. I refuse to believe it was. Everyone in FFX looked normal, so i assume they just took all the anime wierdness and stuck it into the guado race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I would like to know what extra-strength gel seymour used to get that silly quiff. and silly horns. in all fairness, final fantasy has plenty of silly hair to offer - post-yoshitaka amano at least.

GSF Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Everyone in FFX looked normal Excuse me, what? Also, belts and zippers, courtesy of Nomura. BELTS AND ZIPPERS EVERYWHERE. *storms off* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I honestly haven't seen Nomura spam belts OR zippers excessively since kingdom hearts or Final Fantasy VIII (squall specifically. Dont think any others had the syndrome.) Lulu excused for obvious reasons. Despite his jpop-based designs, when i look back on Nomura's stuff, it's actually pretty diverse. Advent Children just took all of FFVII's stuff and stuck it into KH2/FFXIII versus category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well, even though he's not from an anime, TVTropes does say Coiffio from Perfect Hair Forever has anime hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
