What amount of anime do you like in your games?
- Thread starter trimin
- Start date
I love full anime games like Persona and Danganronpa. But OP isn't about that. So what percentage is Yakuza for example?
I think it is specifically about cheese/camp/goofiness, not aesthetic.
You're saying Yakuza doesn't lean all the way in with anime style at times?

Full anime, but with as little dumb fanservice as possible.
Pretty much
I only like anime when human characters look human. Like LOTGH or Macross Plus
If it's that chibi, moe, or those massive eyes type of shit or whatever the terms are that makes human adults and kids look like various aliens or adults that look like kids sort of anime then none at all.
Less of this shit:

I watched a bunch of anime. They were 99% shit and even the non-shit stuff was iffy. I played a bunch of games that were heavily influenced by anime. They were literally all shit (or at least I can't remember a single good one).
Thus I conclude that the category of anime is shit. No, it is not, strictly speaking, fair. Rather, it is practical. The shittiness factor in anime is so high that it isn't worth digging through the mountain of garbage to find the stuff that's kinda/sorta/maybe worth watching.
If 99% of the books I read were shit I'd say the same thing about books. Fortunately that is not the case because books are nothing like anime.
I don't like the implication that anime is a genre or some kind of wacky magical ingredient that can be measured in percentages. Anime is a medium, just like live action TV. Would you ask how much live action TV do you like in your games, like it implies a certain style of comedy or action? Of course not. Live action TV can be anything from The Walking Dead to Saturday Night Live. Anime can be anything from Dragon Ball Z to Mushishi.
Completely agree. As for the amount of anime...it completely depends on the games? It's impossible to say anything in general about it.I only like anime when human characters look human. Like LOTGH or Macross Plus

What's the difference between saying that Anime is trash and saying Jpop is trash. What the difference between saying that Jpop is trash and Kpop is trash? What's the difference between calling Kpop trash and Hip-Hop trash?
Haha yeah I hate Japan.
Everything is 99% shit. Everything. Sturegeon's Law.
There's the good and the bad, and since good is harder to make than bad, there's always going to be more bad.
What are these 100% shit anime and anime-styled games you've watched and played?
If you seriously think only one medium in the entirety of media is "shit", you might not be the connoisseur you think you are.

As much as the developer wants.
I can enjoy full on anime games and i can enjoy games with no-anime stuff at all.
Don't understand the anime hate and the extremely overuse of the word "cringe" here on resetera. In this regard this wonderful site is as bad as other places and not as enlightened and open minded as usually.

I want no anime at all for large stretches of the game, and then 200% anime in short bursts.
Anime should be treated like limited resource. When you go full anime all the time forever you end up with Onii-chans and 1000 year old dragon kids in bikinis, but if you save it for when it truly matters you get the Stranger fight in God of War or Yakuza's deep emotional plot lines culminating in glowing shirtless energy battles.
Make me forget Anime exists before you beat me over the head with it.

Consider this though: you're apparently just bad at picking out the good stuff.
Because Nocturne isn't shit. Devil May Cry 3 isn't shit. Dark Souls isn't shit. Katamari Damaci, Metal Gear Solid 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Mother 3, Nier: Automata, Breath of the Wild, Zone of the Enders 2, Godhand, Killer 7, Xenonlade, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Bayonetta, Okami, Ace Attorney, Yakuza 2, and The Wonderful 101 definitely aren't all shit.
A few hot takes from the above list are fine, but if you're genuinely saying all of those games are bad then I don't know what to tell you. It sounds like you're either confused on what constitutes anime or need to branch out more.
There are some elements of anime culture or stereotypes that I enjoy and many that I don't. It isn't really any amount but rather how it handles itself. I can put up with some stuff but if it is too frequent I get turned off entirely.
Some stuff I enjoy might be the over the top combat/attacks or overly passionate fight scenes. Actually one of my favourites is probably characters eating foods >_>
I agree with this as well. Battle Chef Brigade is pretty good in this regard.

There's anime, and then there's gross otaku garbage which is the bane of Japanese media. Might be a little funny coming from someone with a Danganronpa avatar, but…
Well, let's see. You listed twenty games. Of them I have played seven, five of which I considered to be bad. In another 3 instances I haven't played the game you listed but have played another game or games in the same series, all of which I considered bad.
The two exceptions were Dark Souls which I'm lukewarm toward and don't consider particularly anime-ish, and Katamari Damci which was actually delightful, so that one is in the 1% I suppose.
Well, good thing I don't consider myself a connoisseur and never said only one category of media is shit. I have no doubt that there are plenty of other media categories out there that are also 99% shit. Reality TV anybody?
This is pretty much my feeling as well. If I could remove anime from the world I would do it in a heartbeat. Can't stand the stuff and the obsessive, creepy fandom that it inspires.
You are acting like it's unique to anime that 90% is shit.
Books are exactly like anime in that they have as much shit as anything else ever. Writing a book doesn't suddenly make you a good writer, and being japanese doesn't make you a bad one either.
Reality TV is a genre. It's part of television. 90% of TV isn't reality TV, just like how 90% of anime isn't Dragon Ball Z.
Sounds like you're equating everything that's cheesy/over-the-top as anime. That's a little silly if you ask me.
But ok I'll humor you. I like a range of entertainment. I'm fine with things that are completely serious in tone like Gone Home, but I also love completely over-the-top zany stuff like Katamari Damacy. Why limit yourself?

Funny though that most of games his listed are overall considered cult classic, if not masterpieces.
Talks about taste differences...
Anime with universal appeal like Valkyria Chronicles or Fighter Z. I don't like anything resembles those Tales of games or the new Shining series.
That's totally bizarre to me, it's like meeting an alien. If you don't mind, I'm curious which 5 games you didn't like. Not to argue obviously, If you didn't like them then fair enough, I just can't picture it since nearly all of those games are some of my favorites of all time.
Will have to check out those links, second one looks cool as fuck
