LOL @ Anime definition.

Though, I'm willing to bet... some Japanese games are NOT anime games. Why?

No not really, who said art style has anything to do with it being anime or not. By definition Metal gear is an anime game. On top of that it uses a shit ton of anime themes, Mecha, Super Ninjas, ridiculous sword fights and the list just goes on.

I can name tons of cartoons that include all of the above, but are not Japanese and therefore miss a crucial point required to render it an anime, thus they are not anime, thus neither is Metal Gear Solid.

By that broad definition, many games made in North America are also anime. I thought anime style would include stuff like visual novels with "anime style" illustrations, J-RPGs with "anime style" graphics, etc.

Since the Ace Attorneys series was already mentioned, I'll pitch in Hotel Dusk for the DS, as well as any visual novel that has been licensed in English or unofficially translated, which includes but is not limited to:

Kanon
Clannad
Fate/Stay Night
Shuffle, IIRC
Kana Imouto
Wanko to Kurasou
School Days (partially)
When They Cry franchise (Higurashi and Umineko)
Tons of other VNs
And every single VN and bishoujo game ever that was never translated :P

Explain pls. It's software on the computer, and the choices I make unlock content and determine the ending of the game. It's simply storyline driven rather than gameplay driven.

The ending crap is especially true for Higurashi.



Also, what about games like Utawarerumono, where half the game plays like a visual novel, and the other half is a tactical RPG? (Speaking of which I forgot to mention this, it also has an english translation!)

Oh yes and Chaos Head is translated too. But I don't know much about that one.

Anime is a term. It's not a fucking art style, and it has nothing to do with story. Anime comes from Japan any where else it's a freaken cartoon.

Are you retarded? My fucking sig is anime. Yes I drew and yes I'm from fucking Canada but even a retarded kid will realize I was trying to pull off an "anime style."

Nevermind the fact that 99% of animation coming out of Japan has a distinctive art style that will enable you to peg it as "anime" just by looking at it. To a certain extent art style is important to anime.

Metal Gear Solid has gritty/realistic graphics that aren't trying to look cartoony, western or Japanese or otherwise, in the least. Besides, you're the one who just said that MGS is an anime-style game because of the fucking themes it uses and in the post above you're trying to tell me anime has nothing to do with story. Get your fucking points straight.

How about I phrase it like this since nothing else will get this point through that thick skull of yours:

What the OP meant was: "Let's make a list of games whose art styles try to emulate the kind of art style that is prevalent in Japanese cartoons." Get it?

Not all anime art styles are the same, some anime styles are realistic, like Metal Gear style. This is mostly the OPs fault though, for not specifying the question properly.

wow just wow, god forbid you learn how to read. I said art style has nothing to do with it being anime or not. And I said ONE TOP OF, meaning in addition to. It uses THEMES heavily prevalent to anime. Seeing as how Mecha, and Ninjas come from I dunno, fucking JAPAN!

It having realistic and gritty graphics has nothing to do with it being anime. There are tons of art styles within the spectrum that is anime. Are you saying things like Sanctuary isn't manga because it's art style is gritty and realistic?

This isn't hard to figure the fuck out, if it's a game that comes from Japan, it's an anime style game. End of story.

Something tells me we're all working off a different definition here.

For the poster above, anime = anything Japanese and animated

For myself, and presumably Chavez, anime = the kind of shit everyone on this site watches.

Something tells me the OP is looking for the second definition, but we'd have to hear from the OP himself. I'm willing to bet on it though, since he considers a Korean MMO to fit the bill...

Ok, then I presume you consider this as manga:



It is not animated, but it is art style that originates from Japan. So the only difference between this and 'anime' is that this is static, therefore it's manga I presume.

And that's that. Discussing the definition would be off topic, OP has apparently decided the definition of anime-style (note: style, not native) games are games that contain the Japanese art style that is found on most of the series listed on this website.

Exactly. I nevre thought of anime as regional, I always thought of it as an art style. Anyways, I maade this threead so I could find games that were made in the style of anime. I'd explain more, but I broke my PC yesterday, I am really stressed out...
