Maybe not bad, but K-On! anime is far superior to manga imo.

Bocchi is the first one that come to mind not in a sense that the art is bad,
Its just that the art of the anime was just too good compared to the manga!!!

& its not just the art but overall the anime is better!!!

Agree with this. They look better in anime imo.

Demon slayer is a prime example for that. The manga art isn't exactly bad but it's nothing compared to ufotable's animation. 
To some extent, Mob psycho 100 as well

Yoshihiro Togashi and Cool-kyou Shinja are not the best artists.

Don't get me wrong, the art in Fruits Basket isn't bad or anything, but even diehard fans tell me that the 2019 anime looks way better overall.

Captain Tsubasa, in the manga the characters have longer legs than the colossal titan.

The 2018 remake is very beautiful.

HxH's art goes from a 3-4/10 to a 9/10 with the adaptation. I'm not talking about the soulless, oversaturated 2011 version btw:




JJK is another obvious improvement, but its visuals would be a 10/10 if they looked as good as in the OPs.

JJK, I am sorry, but the manga's art is terrible. Actually, JJK is one of the few series where everything is better in anime format. The manga is quite awful.

Hunter x Hunter, nothing beats it in this regard, both OG and 2011 adaptations are MILES better.
JoJo first 4 parts, not sure about 5 and 6.
I think Dragon Ball too.
Few off the top of my head.

The anime is based on the manga adaptation of Murata so it doesn't count.

The original web manga for Ousama Ranking. The anime MASSIVELY improved upon the art style imo.

Demon Slayer and AOT are the first two that come to mind.

@Fario-P I don't think Fruits Basket applies to me personally. As far as new fans go, it seems like a lot of people like the remake better.

Mayo Chiki manga had better anime art than manga art.  Manga had a better end though.

Oh, that's what I was saying, manga fans like how the remake looks more. Sorry, maybe I worded that wrong or the translator didn't pick that up.

No, I am a fan who usually bought serial manga magazines to read Fruits Basket and bought the drama CDs, but I did not watch the remake version because I felt uncomfortable with the character design and the casting and drawing of the voice actors.

There are a certain number of fans of the original manga and fans who liked it in the old anime who do not like or dislike the remake version for various reasons. Not everyone who liked the original manga likes the anime remake.

There are also fans of the manga who prefer the way the manga was drawn before the author became ill.
