The one series I absolutely can't STAND in terms of character design is Melty Blood. I really wish I could find a better image, but like - all of the character designs are just so disgustingly BASIC.

And the style of the ingame sprites aren't doing it any favors.

I mean, to be fair the series is a dojin spinoff of an eroge and literally paved the way for derivative-work dojin fighters. But like...character designs didn't get any better until Actress Again when they introduced the character with the blade cello, and even THAT was medicore.
And a lot of people feel the same way about Fate/Stay Night. I really can't understand it. I mean, the gameplay is decent in both series but the character designs have just been so horrendously basic.
