Line 6:
This tends to take one of two main forms:
* One step up from [[Stick Figure Comic|stick figures]], where the torso has some thickness and heads and extremities have more realistic detail, but the arms and legs are essentially lines. This seems to be rather popular in gothic and emo art, and may apply to all the characters, or just one or two. Example: Jack Skellington from ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''.
* A style based on fashion illustration, where the characters are impossibly slender and long-limbed, but otherwise have more-or-less normal anatomy and musculature. Especially common in [[Josei]] manga. More likely to apply to the entire cast (or at least the attractive characters). Often overlaps with [[Bishounen]] and/or [[Bishoujo]]. Example: Doumeki and Watanuki from ''[[

* ''[[Naruto]]'' uses this trope on occasion, whenever something rather jarring (usually [[Played for Laughs]]) is revealed. Is coupled with [[Blank White Eyes]], [[Quivering Eyes]], and [[Face Fault]].
* Basso/ Natsume Ono [http://vitaepropositum.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/d44.gif seems] [
* This style is most noticeable in [[CLAMP]] works ''[[
* The series that Sunrise did immediately after ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', also has a decidedly noodly cast, this time designed by Yun Kouga (of ''[[Loveless]]'' fame).
* ''[[One Piece]]'', though mostly just with women.

* ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'': It doesn't start out this way, but gets considerably worse [[Art Evolution|towards the later volumes]].
* ''[[Special A]]''. Good gods, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907032155/http://journal.mycom.co.jp/articles/2008/03/31/sa/index.html just look at the legs.]
* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'', especially the schoolgirls.
* ''[[Loveless]]''
* This style was first popularized in anime by [[Leiji Matsumoto]], though his more comedic characters are usually short and round.
* Mamoru Nagano also makes extensive use of it in his character designs. Even his [[Humongous Mecha]] designs are often quite spindly, most notably the Jagd Mirage from ''[[The Five Star Stories]]''.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Most noticeable with Asuka and Rei in their plugsuits; just look at the torsos.

* In ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' the heroes are all way skinnier then they would be in any other show, the thickest is [[The Big Guy|Jet]], and it is most notable in Spike and Ed.
** Possibly explained by the Bebop crew's chronic lack of food, and Spike's highly athletic lifestyle.
