More examples of errors in illustration ranging from the severe to the bemusing populate this gallery; artists should definitely take note once more, but they may be heartened to see even greats like Tony manage to make fools of themselves, repeatedly.
Lol. Princess Bride. Nice. Now I want to watch it again…for the millionth time… >.>
———–
Lol. Being Serious here. I couldn’t catch some of them. Like the 2nd, and 3rd ones.
Also the Leg turn one wasn’t that bad considering a Human can turn using their bodies and let their feet turn using the Force and Slide on the ground. Though I’d have to see the scene to see if it didn’t flow properly…
Yeah, I think it’s Haruhi. For a few episodes there was another animation error with Haruhi walking in the OP. I guess it’s a hard thing for those guys to get right or something.
pardon me but i’m not sure if i can see the same error. to me, there doesn’t really seem to be anything wrong. the legs go to the right places. the blond’s legs go underneath the brunette’s body doesn’t it?
Also, if you check the girl’s leg that is “under” the other girl, it first goes outward from the knee down, only to be “warped” closer to each other later.
Some of them I can’t notice what is wrong, it seems I’ve become complacent to fail.
Surprised there was no Bleach here, but I guess that would be far too easy, or has been done to death. At least five times they have placed the wrong hand on the wrong arm, which seems kind of easy to tell.
LoL, I never knew that they were this many mistakes mostly unnoticed, you guys should also add the new toradora episode (ep.12). Taiga has six fingers!!
while some of these are obviously shops, some are honest errors on part of the illustrator. Most are hard to spot at first but even the best make mistakes like tony.
I think the very long limbs in xxxHolic (#23) is a deliberate and conscious artistic trait made by CLAMP, which is faithfully carried over by Production IG in the anime adaptation, rather than an unintended mistake. Doesn’t take anything away from the story being entertaining though.
Damn straight we do! It’s really annoying to get a pic of a character’s feet and then realize that there’s an error like the left foot on the right leg or there’s only 4 toes. It’s even worse if that’s your only pic of that character’s feet (or all the other pics don’t give good detail to the feet).
Looking at it zoomed in, I think one of those lines is the edge of her knee, visible behind her fingers. Her left hand, holding the sword, seems to just be at an angle where you can see the crease of her palm.
Seems fine to me. Maybe her toes are backwards inside her boots? =P
Left hand looks like she has some sort of tentacles~
Not to mention if you were to be supporting yourself with your knee and hand, you use your hand facing inwards, (thumb on the outside)
And try to have the palm on the floor not the tip of the fingers
I understand the freakish urge to lick your weapon, but you don’t lick the sharp side…
WOW @ the haruhi one… that just baffles my mind Oo… man, I bet like nobody really noticed it when they saw the actual animation cuz it looked so natural.
lol at the last pic though… haha that cracked me up.
Haruhi’s leg is quite big failure. But I didn’t notice it while watching the anime.
The same goes for Rozen Maiden. Didn’t notice Suigintou had one more finger before.
I don’t see what’s wrong with #06 other than her legs being out of proportion, but looking at the wood of the campfire you can imagine she is actually a giant which justifies the legs. A little overproportioned legs usually don’t bother me.
What’s wrong with the sixth one with all the lunches? I know there’s problem with the legs of the central one.
The middle bottom one, well, some people are on diets.
Also what’s wrong with the idolmaster one?
The Marisa and Reimu five hand is absolutely intentional based on those Japanese ghost photos.
I just checked that scene. In the TOEI Kanon ep 2, 07:01, that scene is just fine. The mouths are lower than the eyes. This might be the DVD version though.
Although TOEI character designs for the Kanon characters are a bit weird to begin with… they aren’t *that* weird.
Which anime is pic 18 from? It kinda reminds me of Da Capo Season 1, cause girl on right looks like Nemu, and Jun’ichi used to have that shade of beige hair…
Some jerk will actually go as far as saying “none of these are mistakes, it’s style!”
After all, we’re speaking of a “style” known for the gigantic heads with eyes the size of fists.
Backward hand or feet? Broken joints? Mangled proportions and additional fingers? People get what they deserve.
Look at how she’s sitting in the window well. She doesn’t quite seem to fit right, does she? :) Her right hand is also backwards. With her palm down, her thumb should be away from the body. Also her other hand doesn’t quite look right (although it’s at least on right :)), and her undercarriage doesn’t seem to be at the right angle compared to her upper body and waist.
For all of us budding artists, a small tip I’ve learned: After you draw your skeleton sketches and after you’ve drawn the actual body, look at your picture through the back of the sheet or in a mirror. You’ll be shocked to see how many perspective failures you’ll spot right away.
Wow I own that dakimakura and went to check it out and her feet really are backwards >.< Man but some of those do look shopped :( Oh well we are all human after all :)
But again, The most important part is, that the audience DIDN’T CARE / DIDN’T REALIZE about such things. This is not the matter of “Perfect Way to Draw”, this is the matter of each individual perspective..
Drenching idols in water or other liquids, or simply clothing them in the most insubstantial fabrics for total… [More]

You know…. I used to enjoy some of these pictures until people pointed out the flaws in them. Now I can’t look past the flaws.
P.S. Pretty sure the Kanon picture is shopped =P
I wonder, I always remember the first Kanon anime because of those faces…
I think it is :P
And some … I def had to do a double-take … but others I just dunno if they’re really THAT BAD
Some actually seem to be intentional. Or at least, I can’t imagine it any other way.
Lots of foots are on the wrong leg
the 6 finger ones are just..weird lol

No you still don’t see the “leg turn” error. It’s more like a “leg switch”.
Some people are born with 6 fingers, so maybe it wasnt an animation error?
The lady with the reversible legs though….thats probably where they got the idea for the sculpt of Extravaganza Mikuru.
The lady with the reversible legs is Haruhi if I’m not wrong.
Yeah, I think it’s Haruhi. For a few episodes there was another animation error with Haruhi walking in the OP. I guess it’s a hard thing for those guys to get right or something.
I sometimes wonder if this is why so many western comics are drawn so crudely and un-life-like: So if they make mistakes, no one will notice.
Rob Liefeld?
I HATE Rob Liefeld
eh??
there are like 10 manga volumes in Japan for every comic book issue in the US. mistakes are far more common in animanga than anywhere else.
We’re talking proportionately.
cross leg, backhand…people tend to mess up the actual position of the finger and foot…
but 6fingers is unacceptable ==”
But….
Six-finger handjobs! :o
I *used* to enjoy some of those pics. Now it’s like a barnyard gangbang: I can’t ever look at them the same way again ><.
Thanks for ruining it for me.
Some of those looks shopped.
I can tell it from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Six toes:
http://desuchan.net/tr/src/1227491023828.jpg
He’s just stretching his toes.
Um, not wanting to sound stupid but what’s wrong with Tony’s?
Oh nvm~
Okay, you got me. What is wrong with the dakimakura cover that is so wrong?
Has my perception of female anatomy been warped by too much H-manga, or am I simply blind here?
Backwards feet.
pardon me but i’m not sure if i can see the same error. to me, there doesn’t really seem to be anything wrong. the legs go to the right places. the blond’s legs go underneath the brunette’s body doesn’t it?
LoL
It’s not the blonde’s. It’s the brunette’s. She’s got her big toes in the wrong direction.
I don’t see the feet as backwards. It’s simply that the big toe is curled, while the other toes are not.
check out the big toe, they are in the opposite direction.
Also, if you check the girl’s leg that is “under” the other girl, it first goes outward from the knee down, only to be “warped” closer to each other later.
Nooo, not my Yomi-onee-chan… T_T
21 isn’t really a drawing fail… just a coloring fail
coloring is a part of drawing…
what’s wrong with the first two after the title image?
What the shit?
Some of them I can’t notice what is wrong, it seems I’ve become complacent to fail.
Surprised there was no Bleach here, but I guess that would be far too easy, or has been done to death. At least five times they have placed the wrong hand on the wrong arm, which seems kind of easy to tell.
I’ve been playing spot the fail… what?
Tony Taka’s isn’t backwards feet, it’s just the big toe being curled, and the others being straight.
no.
try sitting/kneeling like she is and see where her big toes are compared to your big toes…your big toes should never be on the outside of your feet
I don’t know, I think the 6 fingers should form their own art form, it’s kinda hot.
LoL, I never knew that they were this many mistakes mostly unnoticed, you guys should also add the new toradora episode (ep.12). Taiga has six fingers!!
while some of these are obviously shops, some are honest errors on part of the illustrator. Most are hard to spot at first but even the best make mistakes like tony.
Hmmm… Can anyone tell me the artist(s) for 06, 11, 21, and 32?
Where did you collect all these fails from?
You can get them fresh off the failboat. ;p
OTL
drawing fale
Have some QUALITY!
omg the haruhi leg is awesome, if you scroll very fast it becomes an animation :0 moar
What’s so wrong with the Nanoha pic? I mean, that one is a photoshopped version of the original where her boobs aren’t that big.
Observe the mirror.
Notice that she’s not looking at the mirror.
I didn’t even notice the not looking into mirror error. Drawing boobs on Nanoha is worse. Way worse.
That’s not the error. Observe her reflection.
When the not looking at mirror thing is not the error, what is the error?
I don’t see anything else. D:
Actually there look to be several on closer inspection, though all subtle…
Her undies don’t seem to be fitting her figure quite right either. The image in the mirror seems to not have the problem, though.
I think the very long limbs in xxxHolic (#23) is a deliberate and conscious artistic trait made by CLAMP, which is faithfully carried over by Production IG in the anime adaptation, rather than an unintended mistake. Doesn’t take anything away from the story being entertaining though.
Oh those foot fetishists, they get pissed if you mess up the feet.
Damn straight we do! It’s really annoying to get a pic of a character’s feet and then realize that there’s an error like the left foot on the right leg or there’s only 4 toes. It’s even worse if that’s your only pic of that character’s feet (or all the other pics don’t give good detail to the feet).
I just had a lolgasm.
How could the animators not notice, they must have been tired those night’s
On first glance, I caught 80%, the rest took some examination, but nothing completely subtle.
If I can do it, why can’t others?
(I really really get a kick out of the too many fingers or hands bending incorrectly ones, hands aren’t really that easy to screw up.
Some of them I don’t see.
Some of them are WTF?
Winner is XXXHolic with either 12-foot people or 5-inch-diameter heads.

So, what’s wrong with this picture?
The one above the PARICO… THING, and below the vocaloid twins.
I got every other picture but I can’t seem to see what’s wrong with this one.
take a closer look @ her right hand,
you’ll see that she have 6 fingers
Looking at it zoomed in, I think one of those lines is the edge of her knee, visible behind her fingers. Her left hand, holding the sword, seems to just be at an angle where you can see the crease of her palm.
Seems fine to me. Maybe her toes are backwards inside her boots? =P
I think its the hand holding the sword.I think its a coloring mistake since it looks like there is too much skin there.
Left hand looks like she has some sort of tentacles~
Not to mention if you were to be supporting yourself with your knee and hand, you use your hand facing inwards, (thumb on the outside)
And try to have the palm on the floor not the tip of the fingers
I understand the freakish urge to lick your weapon, but you don’t lick the sharp side…
WOW @ the haruhi one… that just baffles my mind Oo… man, I bet like nobody really noticed it when they saw the actual animation cuz it looked so natural.
lol at the last pic though… haha that cracked me up.
Haruhi’s leg is quite big failure. But I didn’t notice it while watching the anime.
The same goes for Rozen Maiden. Didn’t notice Suigintou had one more finger before.
That’s why Rozen scrapped her i guess. :o
Some of the pictures here I seem to see the errors in the drawing. But the most obvious ones I see.
I don’t see what’s wrong with #06 other than her legs being out of proportion, but looking at the wood of the campfire you can imagine she is actually a giant which justifies the legs. A little overproportioned legs usually don’t bother me.
Look again – her foot is backwards.
Ah thanks for pointing that out.
I notice that most of common mistakes are the oversize head, hands being backwards, and foot being backwards.
And lastly…Haruhi T__T
Just checked the Haruhi one, looks like they fixed that on the DVD.
What’s wrong with the sixth one with all the lunches? I know there’s problem with the legs of the central one.
The middle bottom one, well, some people are on diets.
Also what’s wrong with the idolmaster one?
The Marisa and Reimu five hand is absolutely intentional based on those Japanese ghost photos.
That must be a ghost loli inside that mirror in that Nanoha pic…
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/epic-illustration-fail/anime-manga-epic-drawing-fail-16.jpg
Makes me think more than twice if I really want to see the first Kanon anime…
I just checked that scene. In the TOEI Kanon ep 2, 07:01, that scene is just fine. The mouths are lower than the eyes. This might be the DVD version though.
Although TOEI character designs for the Kanon characters are a bit weird to begin with… they aren’t *that* weird.
It might be a fake as someone said earlier.
Which anime is pic 18 from? It kinda reminds me of Da Capo Season 1, cause girl on right looks like Nemu, and Jun’ichi used to have that shade of beige hair…
You perfectly illustrate how fail is sometimes subjective.
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/epic-illustration-fail/anime-manga-epic-drawing-fail-16.jpg
Τoei Animation’s Kanon was remarkable for its awful drawing to begin with, so this screenshot doesn’t makes any difference for me. XD
LIEFIELDIAN!
A lot if it is faked,btw.
Some jerk will actually go as far as saying “none of these are mistakes, it’s style!”
After all, we’re speaking of a “style” known for the gigantic heads with eyes the size of fists.
Backward hand or feet? Broken joints? Mangled proportions and additional fingers? People get what they deserve.
What’s wrong with 11?
Look at how she’s sitting in the window well. She doesn’t quite seem to fit right, does she? :) Her right hand is also backwards. With her palm down, her thumb should be away from the body. Also her other hand doesn’t quite look right (although it’s at least on right :)), and her undercarriage doesn’t seem to be at the right angle compared to her upper body and waist.

Besides Nanoha having some c-cup breasts, I don’t see what’s wrong about that pic. Meh.
lol a few of them arent that bad and barely noticeable, but some of them are RIDICULOUS.
for instance #22
so good
Wow I own that dakimakura and went to check it out and her feet really are backwards >.< Man but some of those do look shopped :( Oh well we are all human after all :)
HUMAN!
HUMAN!
HUMAN!
HUMAN!
ATCHA COMIN’
AFTER ALL!
i noticed the flaws in some of them but other i didn’t.
whats wrong with Azusa and Ritsuko pic?
……………..
You know, there are some where I can’t really spot the mistake or it’s not really clear.
Well i’m not watching anime to view moving failures, i watch anime to see stories and to see a world void from my own.
What’s failure about Nanoha’s?
And also, Yuuko
But again, The most important part is, that the audience DIDN’T CARE / DIDN’T REALIZE about such things. This is not the matter of “Perfect Way to Draw”, this is the matter of each individual perspective..
My goodness…
I don’t get 21 or 32.
