Top 13 Anime Skins in CS2

It has been many years since the last set of skins released with a focus on anime, but that has now changed with the release of the Prisma 2 case. This is the top 13 anime skins now in the game Counter-Strike 2.

The Rising Sun collection was one of the first to showcase a weapon skin with an anime character, those of which are extremely popular among many gamers.

Anime skins are usually tied with Japanese themed skins as well as the word “anime” is defined as a Japanese cartoon or show. This list will not include things that are only loosely based around Japanese culture but anime itself. So look forward to only seeing the best of the best anime skins on this list below.

1. AUG | Akihabara Accept

From the release of the Rising Sun collection, the Akihabara Accept was the only skin to feature an anime female character on it for a long time. It shows a female army soldier plastered onto a Japanese magazine cover. There are a few game references placed in used commonly in CS2 including:

  • Get Rekt
  • K/D
  • 1v5

The skins designer Ender_Year (Steam Workshop) has also made other fantastic anime skins which unfortunately have not made it into the game.

2. M4A1-S | Player Two

With the bullet count update to the M4A1-S it has become extremely popular.

Right away you will notice a male human drawn firing a weapon which is not seen in Counter-Strike. He has his dog below him with a unique expression compared to the rest of the art style. Smoke covers the feet and body of both the human and dog as the human says a curse word which has been censored.

Other words you will see plastered along the gun are:

  • I♥SKINS – A reference referring to someone loving their CS2 skins. When read aloud it says “I love skins”.
  • VANGUARD
  • SILENCE – This text in white on the barrel is not clearly written, in fact a lot people think it says “SHENCE” due to the font.
  • CS2 – Most people do not realize right away the text “CS2” plastered directly in the middle of the weapon with the color half grey and half cyan.
  • GG – On the humans arm is a patch that says “GG” which is an acronym for “Good Game”, said by players after a game ends.

The skin reminds me of the cartoon Astro Boy mixed with Mega Man but in a Counter-Terrorists uniform.

The skin also features cartoon human skulls in the background. Because of this the skin in China may be altered, as skulls are banned in video games in this region.

The Flavor Text that comes with it relates directly with the skins image.

4. USP-S | Neo-Noir

The USP-S | Neo-Noir showcases a female laying on the ground with her hair going down the handle. The skin has the word “USP NEO” written in neon blue above the woman and a background of white with light blue thin diagonal lines.

There are two different weapons with a similar skin and the same name:

  • AWP | Neo-Noir
  • M4A4 | Neo-Noir

These two skins are much more common than the USP-S and hence can also be found cheaper.

The wear on the USP-S | Neo-Noir mostly effects the silencer attached to the weapon and the handle. The god news is since the handle is dark you do not notice the wear on it.
