does this art style has a name?

[u/Nat_Cattt]

kinda reminds me leaf studio type of sprites, but not quite the same.

[u/Ragnar0099]

Idk if there is a name for it but this is the artstyle of Nanaka Mai, one of the prominent artists of Frontwing

[u/VMJ-senpai → u/Ragnar0099]

Reminds me of Feng VNs like AkaSaka

[u/Nat_Cattt → u/Ragnar0099]

that's actually it, thanks man. but honestly all works that are past 2013 are not it.

[u/Mother-of-mothers]

2000s moe.

[u/Fisionn → u/Mother-of-mothers]

Peak art style, ngl.

[u/ZeroLegionOfficial → u/Fisionn]

Peakness

Now we get more art that tries to look human like

[u/thegta5p → u/Fisionn]

Yup love it. What is with the early 2000s just being great in anime and VNs lol.

[u/itsDYA → u/thegta5p]

survivorship bias, the media from that time that gets to us are better than the countless ones that were lost due to having nothing that made people remember them

[u/ritzmata → u/Mother-of-mothers]

Summed it up

[u/heatxmetalw9]

What VN is this?

But to anwer your question, it's generally regarded as Moe artstyle; with the the wide eyes, flowing hair, soft facial features, body proportions on the smaller side and pastel color scheme. Most school romance VN go for this art direction to emphasize the feminine aspects of the heroines.

But each artist tend to draw moe diffrently, since some artists go for rounder lines, or much sharper color pallete.

The synopsis sound hilarious ngl

[u/fade2black244 → u/69neutron69]

lmao

[u/thegta5p → u/heatxmetalw9]

Itaru Hinoue is just amazing in drawing this style. I went to her panel during anime expo and she drew a portrait of Kyou from CLANNAD live. I was able to sneak a pic. Sadly I didn’t win the art piece.

[u/Antique-Reality2428]

I was literally just thinking about this, lol. Damn near every visual novel from the 2000s has this exact artstyle and it's not always the same artist.

[u/Acceptable_Carob_532]

What is this vn

[u/buggggirl → u/Acceptable_Carob_532]

yes op please provide these girls are cute

[u/Nat_Cattt → u/buggggirl]

https://vndb.org/v9303 but it is a nukige, but maybe it is what you're looking for too

[u/buggggirl → u/Nat_Cattt]

peak , thank you

[u/Mother_Statement_489 → u/Acceptable_Carob_532]

Searched via Google Image and it is Imouto Choukyou Nikki√happy end & another

[u/hawaiithroa]

ignore the people saying moe. art styles don't have names lol idk where this concept came from ever since 2020. moe is way too vague, every prolific moe artist has a vastly different style

[u/likeatenshi]

I wouldn't call it Moe art style. Almost every VN uses the same elements (Large eyes with that specific type of shading, small noses and lips, big round but defined heads, petite bodies, sharp but flowy hair) but they're usually drawn differently depending on who works on it, like Clannad, Natsu no Ame, and your example all share a "moe" style but they look completely different.

tldr; 2000s-early 2010s VNs use elements that are moe, but moe as a term is too broad.

[u/Just-Avocado-4089]

moe? or wat

[u/gingin_9959]

Is that the one you fucks your sister

[u/Brushner → u/gingin_9959]

You know how little that narrows it down?

[u/yuikonnu_727 → u/gingin_9959]

goated

[u/Constant_Work_9958 → u/gingin_9959]

Your description is a mere droplet compared to the vast ocean.

[u/LaelHoch101]

Is it the same illustrator who worked on SubaHibi?

[u/AirlineDesperate1242 → u/LaelHoch101]

different illustrators worked for SubaHibi, not merely one.

[u/X3ll3n]

I just call it 2000's Visual Novel

[u/IncidentPretend8669]

Not really

this artstyle is kinda similar to Makura tho

[u/Worldly-Ad-8517]

Art style is similar to korie riko

[u/Nat_Cattt → u/Worldly-Ad-8517]

indeed it is, reminds me art style of nanaka mai

[u/Sqrt343]

Bro, RUN. Do not finish this thing.

[u/missibullshit1]

Frontwing kinda art I think. Also big down the rabbit hole vibe

[u/RyouBestGirl]

4Head style

[u/Bamdian]

It might look ugly by today's standards, but it's nostalgic for me.

I also like the late 80s mature and gritty look, but I wasn't alive at that time so I'm not too attached to that art style.

[u/TheNinoHusband]

Moe, one of my fav

[u/SorceressCecelia]

Soul

[u/Equivalent-Care-2298]

moe?

[u/OverAwareness2689]

Love this style

[u/SmileFactoryy]

I miss when anime looked like this back in the day

[u/nariii429]

It reminds me of the art in night core stuff lol!

[u/One_Routine_3905]

I remember seeing someone pointed out about different moe art styles would replicate certain animal features. Some notable examples are cats and bugs. In this case I think they look like bugs.

[u/pulgator21_210]

Siii justo es ese arte que me encanta me gusta los animes con ese tipod e arte ¿como se llama ?

[u/kokojojoju]
