What Are the Critics Saying About Lookism?
Lookism does not yet have an official critics rating but has an average audience score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series also has a user score of 7.6/10 on IMDB. Viewers found the story to be relatable, heartwarming, and inspirational.
Brittany Vincent from Decider writes, “Lookism may be a webtoon instead of a novel, but its animated version leaves out too many details to be as much of an impactful experience as the original story. And not to completely miss the point of the tale, but ironically it simply looks cheap.”
Espinof’s Mariló Delgado says (translated), “Strikes a balance between its own style and the original, with the characteristic smooth and warm finish that conveys ‘slice of life’ in anime.”
