Really the main problem is in the part 1-2 icons. Look at this, this illustrate perfectly what's wrong with the anime icons.



A big frakking shade all over the face and icon. Our main concern should be that of clarity. Icons should serve to identity someone''' at a glance. '''And really the big shadows in the anime don't help whereas the manga doesn't have such a problem.

Arguments like "better" visuals, drawings, shading, aesthetical preferences are irrelevant  besides the fact that it's simply easier to distinguish people in the colored manga.Personally I don't care much about Part 3 and beyond, since they don't have the same problem, and the only reason I'd recommend having the manga icons for them too is simply continuity with the much better manga icons for PB and BT.
