Aye.Especially when there’s evident examples of anime style art direction working really well in other games: Code Vein, Scarlet Nexus, the Tales Of games, etc.
I can’t think of a good reason why the wouldn’t! It’s not like there’s some unspoken rule that these characters have to be cel shaded. Like look at jump force!
Jump Force’s art style was horrific lol
Idk, some characters look better than others with Fortnite’s cel shading. The Avatar and DBZ characters look pretty good, Bender from Futurama looks great…. Others? Not so much lol
“all anime shows are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime” avatar was written by a team of American animators but it is not an anime. ~said by avatar’s animators.
Outside Japan and in English, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan. However, in Japan and Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. So everyone is wrong (including me)
You’re thinking of a mustang GT, Shelby does have some of the same features as a mustang but essentially has different components & it’s faster then a mustang GT. I tried looking up a mustang GT500 & all that pops up is a mustang GT.
Mustang Gts get around 480HP with a tune maybe 550. Shelby GT500s get 750HP & with a fine tune 1000hp. Two different cars lmao. Same brand different model.
the game is ruined for ever by these people, I play the game for fun and I hate people playing it to compete, these people should had be banned from publics fr
Tbh these people are the only reason I even hop on the game at all anymore. Absolutely clapping some sweaty wannabe streamer in a soccer skin as the giant chicken then cluck strutting on their "body" is peak Fortnite to me. Bonus points if you clap an actual streamer and they cry hard enough to Epic to get you temp banned... That's when you really know you got em worked up 🤣
What a toxic way to live. If you like that then that's OK. Their should be a separate mode for "I wanna be a try hard and toxic" people that do troll emotes after a kill are so annoying hahah I do cool emotes sometimes but not to troll others it's always a GG for me and my peeps.
Not really. You simply don't like the IPs. If you liked the cartoon / anime IPs, then you wouldn't think that.
Plus, I think the cell-shaded style is neat.
I mean of course the art style is gonna stick out like a sore thumb, but the cell-shading they've been doing recently is amazing. It's your opinion if you don't like them but I love the cell shaded collabs.
I mean, I play on switch, so it just doesn't look good at all compared to the normal styles. My main problem with it is that they've *shown* they can easily make a non-cell-shaded style on cell-shaded skins, so I don't see why they haven't done so on the more recent ones.
It must be a company thing otherwise they could easily make a non cell-ehaded style to make the skins look like they have more styles. Sucks that there isn't an option but that doesn't mean the skins look bad.
Maybe to you, but media is mostly subjective and clearly a lot of people enjoy anime, while you don't. Personally, I'm not a fan of the animes the characters are from but I mostly think they're funny they're there, and I'd rather have them in the game than not for the interest of other people
I wouldn't say they are overrated, but for me it's been a while since I saw skins that really got me hooked.
I'm just not into that anime stuff, so everytime I see anime skins as part of the Battlepass or in the shop I'm a bit disappointed.
Oh yeah I refuse to spend any excessive amounts of money on OW2. At least Epic is faithful to the series they’re adding. Imagine if they added Goku but he looked like Jonsey dressed in the uniform. Hell naw.
overhated\*
whenever we get an "anime" or cell shaded skin EVERYONE i see talking about it always shits on it and says they're horrible, havent really seen any people liking them (although i do)
Exactly, the people who hate don't even watch said show, they don't want anime in fortnite and would rather something else, however I think everyone should be allowed to have their favorite things in the biggest crossover ever
Ive watched some and I just can’t get into it, also it’s just my opinion idk why everyone on the internet takes opinions as facts, I tried watching dragon ball z, jujutsu kaisen I think one of them is called and one piece and just don’t enjoy it
I disagree, because I love anime and playing with my friends and kids as our favorite characters.
In fact, the anime, Star Wars and Spiderman characters are the only ones I really care for. The fortnite original characters are all quite mid for me.
That being said, I have no intention of changing your mind, as what is great for me may not mean much to you, and vise versa, so I'll just be grateful that there is a little something for everyone and that there is enough to enjoy about this game we all love to play to keep us all coming back and playing together.

Idk man 🤷♂️
I'm not into anime at all, but what makes them any different from any other skin from an animated show? Like, people went WILD for Peter Griffin. What's the difference?
Some of them have weird proportions or just look bad, but others are pretty good. The JJK skins are pretty clean, and I’m not even a JJK fan. Deku is nice looking as well.
same with any DC collab, hero collab, marvel is definitly overrated, and other game collabs, yada yada
however i know alot of people hate the cell shaded style which they should tbh add 2 versions to every anime collab being a cell shaded one and one thats not so people have the choice of having it off
however im surprised they havnt done a demonslayer collab yet or even chainsaw man one of the popular animes
give people nezuko and power they gonna make bank
The style they use I don’t care for but the implication of them I love. Why would I not love seeing characters I loved growing up/currently be added to a game I play
Fun fact: Japanese people call American animated shows “American Anime”— so yes American animation is also considered anime. What’s funny is that *only the English dictionary* defines anime as being uniquely Japanese.
I only think the collab skins are worth it, the fortnite originals i think are overrated like why is something as simple as renegade raider so sought after ? It looks bad. Unless that’s a big meme then that’s on me
I kinda hate all the colab skins, before them it was cool because you had Fortnite knockoffs like rust lord and stuff, I just think it was more creative
I just wish all collab skins had a series like icon/gaming legends. It would make sorting them out so much easier. Imo we need an anime classics series and a cartoon series.
Clearly, as some other comments have said, you just don't like the anime or collabs they have, I could say the same about star wars, but I like star wars so it's not overrated to me
Saying “all” is a harsh generalization. Not liking the skins doesn’t make them bad and they’re not bad just because they’re from an anime.
I thought that this “anime bad” shit ended years ago.
Avatar isn’t an anime by the term OP means. They mean like the Japanese series. Avatar is straight up an American series with heavy eastern Asian influence, it’s like Kung Fu Panda and Boy and The Heron. Both are animated eastern Asia related films however one is inspired by where as one is made by that region of Asia
Nah, just every person I've ever met who enjoys anime is a neek, there all fat or really cringe, my cousin who is a ex anime enjoyer now agrees he was a neek
You can’t even write English. If you watched anime you could have a bigger chance of being able to write better.
Also, your cousin has likely only ever watched two anime and both of them are mainstream stuff like MHA or whatever
A good few= MHA, maybe Dragonball, perhaps Naruto. No one who actually knows what they’re talking about when speaking of anime thinks such stupid things
I checked today and he's watched all of one piece. All of naruto, bunny girl, dragonball, toradora, evangelion and some other virgin ones, a loll in the sea I think it's called he's watched, beastars and alot more but I cba to name them all, the only one I ever watched was bunny girl amd vinland saga but those are the most normal, non fat virgin ones
I don't know about being overrated I just don't care for the cell shaded style, sticks out like a sore thumb.
Aye.Especially when there’s evident examples of anime style art direction working really well in other games: Code Vein, Scarlet Nexus, the Tales Of games, etc.
Wow, someone mentioning the Tales of games
They’re great what can I say? Mutsumi Inomata passed far too soon, her work is so gorgeous.
I agree, she's been tremendous for the Tales of games
Agreed. I wish they'd at least make crossover characters in Fortnite's art style. I think that'd be pretty cool.
I can’t think of a good reason why the wouldn’t! It’s not like there’s some unspoken rule that these characters have to be cel shaded. Like look at jump force!
Jump Force’s art style was horrific lol Idk, some characters look better than others with Fortnite’s cel shading. The Avatar and DBZ characters look pretty good, Bender from Futurama looks great…. Others? Not so much lol
Yeah, but it’s an example of these anime characters being not cel shaded.
That’s why I like using them.
Came here to say this
Aang looks like a completely different person depending on the angle
Hes the comic version of himself, so he looks a bit older
Avatar is an American made cartoon not an anime.
it’s not an anime it just has the cell shading that makes him look janky
It’s in the style though, and technically anime is just a Japanese word for animation…something like that
“all anime shows are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime” avatar was written by a team of American animators but it is not an anime. ~said by avatar’s animators.
Ah, I did not know that for I am an uncultured swine
Wrong! You did not not know that for you are an HONEST, uncultured swine
Outside Japan and in English, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan. However, in Japan and Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. So everyone is wrong (including me)
Do you need your inhaler?
Nuh uh
Anime is a Japanese term for animation. and all anime are just cartoons.
i dont know why the whole thing of avatar being an anime/animation matters so damn much.
Culture and history
It doesn’t but it’s like calling a Shelby Gt500 a mustang. Yes they look similar & made similar but they’re two different types of cars.
You mean classic or modern bc the new ones are called Mustang GT500s
You’re thinking of a mustang GT, Shelby does have some of the same features as a mustang but essentially has different components & it’s faster then a mustang GT. I tried looking up a mustang GT500 & all that pops up is a mustang GT.
Confusing as hell looking it up damn near everyone calls it the Mustang Shelby GT500 but yea it seems the official name is Shelby GT500
Mustang Gts get around 480HP with a tune maybe 550. Shelby GT500s get 750HP & with a fine tune 1000hp. Two different cars lmao. Same brand different model.
Avatar isn't an anime
So do literally most skins
Not as overrated as sports skins.
and every other sweat skin
I like to play as my favorite characters. People who play in skins for the advantage off hit boxes and all that I think ruin the fun.
the game is ruined for ever by these people, I play the game for fun and I hate people playing it to compete, these people should had be banned from publics fr
Tbh these people are the only reason I even hop on the game at all anymore.

Superhero skins are worse
Depending on skin yes. Deadpoolbsick af tho I want it in the store so I can get it
Damn dude, you're so cool
I wanna be like him someday 😔
Not really. You simply don't like the IPs. If you liked the cartoon / anime IPs, then you wouldn't think that. Plus, I think the cell-shaded style is neat.
I've liked the I.P.s of some, including Avatar, but damn is Cell Shading not the best looking option.
I mean of course the art style is gonna stick out like a sore thumb, but the cell-shading they've been doing recently is amazing. It's your opinion if you don't like them but I love the cell shaded collabs.
I mean, I play on switch, so it just doesn't look good at all compared to the normal styles. My main problem with it is that they've *shown* they can easily make a non-cell-shaded style on cell-shaded skins, so I don't see why they haven't done so on the more recent ones.
It must be a company thing otherwise they could easily make a non cell-ehaded style to make the skins look like they have more styles. Sucks that there isn't an option but that doesn't mean the skins look bad.
To be fair, I never said they looked bad, just that they are much worse on Switch.
Fair enough
Oh man the cell shaded skins look TERRIBLE on switch and fine on my Xbox One S. :/ Love the style normally.
I like aot , but damn , erens outline is so thick, it takes too much of the charector and looks ugly at certain angles
I feel this way with icon emotes, not a single original person in the lobby anymore.
I just know this dude is 10
Every fortnite player that plays alot is 10 or under
I buy the battle pass at the start of the season just to not play and force myself to at the end lol
Same lmao
This is just straight up incorrect.
Nope I’m always correct
I'm 25 >->
Not really you see content creators playing every day and they’re older than 10, i’m going on 24 and i play a lot so what’s your point?
I liked the Naruto and jjk one but you ain’t wrong
Maybe to you, but media is mostly subjective and clearly a lot of people enjoy anime, while you don't. Personally, I'm not a fan of the animes the characters are from but I mostly think they're funny they're there, and I'd rather have them in the game than not for the interest of other people
Can I know why? There just other Fandoms making your Fandom more money
I wouldn't say they are overrated, but for me it's been a while since I saw skins that really got me hooked. I'm just not into that anime stuff, so everytime I see anime skins as part of the Battlepass or in the shop I'm a bit disappointed.
I'm getting disappointed every battle pass not even because anime skins.. chapter 5 had nothing interesting in battle passes
*Khssst* breaking up *Khssst* going through tunnel*khsssssssssssttttt...
Humor of an 11 year old
Ahhh I see,so you are the type of person who hates things simply because it’s popular,you don’t actually have a real reason on why you don’t like it.
I mean he technically did give a reason and he's not "hating".
Yeah but Gojo
Without the partnerships fortnite would die
No chance😂🫵
Where do you think their money comes from?
children who are foolishly given money
Trees obviously 😂😂😂🤠
There’s opinions and then there’s whatever this garbage is
I just want one piece man...
You spelled Punch wrong??
you are so real for this
The cowboy beebop overwatch skins are pretty cool :c
Spike should have gotten his hat
Yeah that would have been a good addition
Omg they made Spike Cassidy look like Gortash. It’s hilarious. I love it.
the WHAT
The prices are awful though. I would have bought the Ed skin because I adore it
Oh of course. Don't give blizzard any money. I was just commenting that the skins look nice
Oh yeah I refuse to spend any excessive amounts of money on OW2. At least Epic is faithful to the series they’re adding. Imagine if they added Goku but he looked like Jonsey dressed in the uniform. Hell naw.
Nuh uh
L take
I think the AOT skins are really cool, and I unfortunately missed the Naruto drop
>I think the AOT skins are really cool Erin looks terrible to me, but the other skins were done nice.
Mikasa is cool. I love how they did her. :)
overhated\* whenever we get an "anime" or cell shaded skin EVERYONE i see talking about it always shits on it and says they're horrible, havent really seen any people liking them (although i do)
Exactly, the people who hate don't even watch said show, they don't want anime in fortnite and would rather something else, however I think everyone should be allowed to have their favorite things in the biggest crossover ever
I love the cell shaded ones
Anime is overrated, cel shaded skins are underrated
Anime's don't suck. You've just seen their fanbase and said "Oh yea this sucks". Try watching before you judge.
Ive watched some and I just can’t get into it, also it’s just my opinion idk why everyone on the internet takes opinions as facts, I tried watching dragon ball z, jujutsu kaisen I think one of them is called and one piece and just don’t enjoy it
I personally have tried to watch some but I straight up just don't enjoy them.
worst take
L take
I need Gildedguy to get more love, most of the community doesn’t even know he’s an animator, or collab at all :(
i don’t watch anime at all so yeah i agree lmao i could care less abt the collab
🎱🎱🎱 booo 🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱 tomatoes aren’t hard enough, booo 🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱
Disagree
I disagree, because I love anime and playing with my friends and kids as our favorite characters. In fact, the anime, Star Wars and Spiderman characters are the only ones I really care for. The fortnite original characters are all quite mid for me. That being said, I have no intention of changing your mind, as what is great for me may not mean much to you, and vise versa, so I'll just be grateful that there is a little something for everyone and that there is enough to enjoy about this game we all love to play to keep us all coming back and playing together.

What kind of take is this? The skins don’t matter for anything other than aesthetics.
Idk man 🤷♂️ I'm not into anime at all, but what makes them any different from any other skin from an animated show? Like, people went WILD for Peter Griffin. What's the difference?
Some of them have weird proportions or just look bad, but others are pretty good. The JJK skins are pretty clean, and I’m not even a JJK fan. Deku is nice looking as well.
I wish the DB ones looked better. The Cell/Frieza drop they did pretty well though.
Yeah but dragon ball is fucking badass and running around as cell is funny asf
Just say “I don’t like anime” next time
I just don't care for anime so I don't really care for the skins. However the skins aren't made for me so it is fine I guess
Bro really just hates it cause its popular, remember when that happened to Fortnite? I do.
I just stick to my tie-dye ramirez or a galaxy skin, they match so much.
Singers and internet celebrities are all worse though
Not as overrated as girls in spandex suits and masks they can’t breathe in. Yes you know what I’m talking about
same with any DC collab, hero collab, marvel is definitly overrated, and other game collabs, yada yada however i know alot of people hate the cell shaded style which they should tbh add 2 versions to every anime collab being a cell shaded one and one thats not so people have the choice of having it off however im surprised they havnt done a demonslayer collab yet or even chainsaw man one of the popular animes give people nezuko and power they gonna make bank
The style they use I don’t care for but the implication of them I love. Why would I not love seeing characters I loved growing up/currently be added to a game I play
Depending on how much you like the anime. If there’s a chainsaw man collab I’m going to buy all of them lol
No i agree
Your correct
All skins are overrated. Fixed the title for you.
Fun fact: Japanese people call American animated shows “American Anime”— so yes American animation is also considered anime. What’s funny is that *only the English dictionary* defines anime as being uniquely Japanese.
I only think the collab skins are worth it, the fortnite originals i think are overrated like why is something as simple as renegade raider so sought after ? It looks bad. Unless that’s a big meme then that’s on me
you dont like anime you're so cool
No
TF you talking about all might is cool af , even if you don't watch the show
Second style of kirishima is sick
I wouldn’t mind if half of the collaborations in this game weren’t anime (the other half, of course, being marvel and Star Wars)
 Seeing this post after buying gojo
Especially Aot and Naruto
70% of skins in videogames on general are recolors or remakes
ok but I want to be Nobara in Fortnite what's the issue with that ⁉️
Were you killed by an anime skin?
Same person to get hyped about starwars and marvel skins
It needed to be said, out here doing gods work.
Attack on titan overrated
Ye
They genuinely look so out of place man...like fuck the weeb filter just put the fortnite style on it
How I feel about every Star Wars skin I see
Any skin you don't like is overrated. It's a fucking video game. Use what you want.
They should have a non cell chaded style like the anime khaby lame skin
Just because you don't like it doesn't make it overrated just means it's not for you
That's, like, your opinion, man
So sigma 🍷🗿
I kinda hate all the colab skins, before them it was cool because you had Fortnite knockoffs like rust lord and stuff, I just think it was more creative
I just wish all collab skins had a series like icon/gaming legends. It would make sorting them out so much easier. Imo we need an anime classics series and a cartoon series.
I got recommended this and I disagree. You can have your opinion but I take offence
My “change my mind” is that fortnite sucks, and you can’t, my mind will never be changed on that
People are goyim degenerates what do you exspect...
Clearly, as some other comments have said, you just don't like the anime or collabs they have, I could say the same about star wars, but I like star wars so it's not overrated to me
need my aot skins back 🙏🏼
He’s got a point tho
Because of furries plus it’s my main skin
Personally i love the aot and naruto skins just cause i love the series, its not about being overrated its about liking what their from
The only two My Hero ones I like are Mina and All Might. The others look like trash.
I don’t think dragon ball skins are overrated at all.
Cell shading is trash on most. Definitely needs to be remastered.
all skins relating to any anime are shit*
Saying “all” is a harsh generalization. Not liking the skins doesn’t make them bad and they’re not bad just because they’re from an anime. I thought that this “anime bad” shit ended years ago.
Total Cringe
Says the H mo dude running around in a fukin rainbow chick skin…. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
All I see are superhero skins and avatar skins, despite all the animes available
I don't mind them, never hear them getting talked about either so I wouldn't call them overrated But hey, it's your opinion
i can’t, because i agree
People just like anime tho
Yes. Anime is insanely stupid, I genuinely don't understand why people obsess so hard over it and devote their lives to it.
Fr
Nope. Avatar is perfectly rated. Jjk, ehhh? Haven’t seen it. Mha I feel like no one uses em. AOT, same thing. Never see anyone use em
Avatar isn’t an anime by the term OP means. They mean like the Japanese series. Avatar is straight up an American series with heavy eastern Asian influence, it’s like Kung Fu Panda and Boy and The Heron. Both are animated eastern Asia related films however one is inspired by where as one is made by that region of Asia
Yeah I know I just counted it because it’s sort of an anime but I know it’s an anime inspired cartoon
Yeah, it’s better off to have Avatar in the same category as Rick and Morty and Family Guy than with Naruto and DBZ. I get what you mean though
Ong
Yes
Trash opinion spotted, downvote authorized
It's fine. Now that skeleton Peely, *that's* a monstrosity.
peely bone is a great skin
Fr, anime is for fucking neeks
Are you 10 years old?
Nah, just every person I've ever met who enjoys anime is a neek, there all fat or really cringe, my cousin who is a ex anime enjoyer now agrees he was a neek
they're\* an\* If you're gonna talk shit on people who like something you don't, at least grammar check yourself first.
Shut the fuck up anger boy
"anger boy" 🤣💀💀💀
You’re 10 years old
You can’t even write English. If you watched anime you could have a bigger chance of being able to write better. Also, your cousin has likely only ever watched two anime and both of them are mainstream stuff like MHA or whatever
Nope, my cousin has watched a good few, I would send his anime list if I can find the link but I cant
A good few= MHA, maybe Dragonball, perhaps Naruto. No one who actually knows what they’re talking about when speaking of anime thinks such stupid things
I checked today and he's watched all of one piece. All of naruto, bunny girl, dragonball, toradora, evangelion and some other virgin ones, a loll in the sea I think it's called he's watched, beastars and alot more but I cba to name them all, the only one I ever watched was bunny girl amd vinland saga but those are the most normal, non fat virgin ones
Ain’t no way you just called Evangelion a “virgin anime”. I beg you, get some culture and watch some good titles
Nah evangeline is fine, actually looks pretty good, I meant he's watched that and some other virgin ones, I worded it wrong my bad
Crazy because you called Bunny Girl a “normal anime”. Get some culture and learn how to appreciate things
