Anime in video games

megamanx 4 was really good in my opinion, the only other game i played that was even related to anime was sword of the berserk gats rage and that game kicked all ass, best dreamcast game i ever played. oh yeah the tenchi muyo game for super nintendo i downloaded the untranslated verson and played till i understood what each comand was.

but i don't think i know what you mean by anime style cut scenes i've never seen a game with these other than megamanx4 i mean is it becoming a real problem, i mean are they giving anime a bad name?

No....Anime Cutscenes are perfect in videogames....and is less expensive than Glorious CG like in the FF series

no one said zone of the enders. lots of people were dissapointed by that game, i thought it was really fun. yet fucking short. zone of the enders 2 is gonna fucking rule. they are making it strictly action and no scavenger hunting crap like in the first one. JEHUTY IS THE BEST MECH EVER! aside from temjin of course. hey, there's another anime game. virtual on. i consider that anime. and street fighter counts too cause it had its own anime. same with fatal fury. there are alot more then i thought...

I am nor just talking about games based on anime, but games trying to make their graphics look aniem, and using things liek anime cut scenes. I like this little trend they have going.

I've got to agree. I loved this game, it was fun to play (except for the scavenger-type missions), the control scheme is far better than Armored Core, and though it wasn't developed fully the ending was good too.

Other good video games (All PSX RPGs actually) with anime cut scenes:

Valkyrie Profile
Breath of Fire IV
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (Although it's combined with CG graphics. Blue Submarine 6 style.)
Thousand Arms
Rhapsody
Arc the Lad

Vanguard Bandits also has anime cutscenes, but it's not a good game. Super Robot Taisen series kicks it's ass hard.

And speaking of imports a lot of them have good anime cut scenes out there, but hardly anybody knows about them state-side.

I didnt mention ZOE because this topic was about Anime cut scenes and not anime style games.....But just to add a nice PSx fighting game to the pot...

Evil Zone!

One of the best anime fighting games ever...Heh it made anyone who played it look like a expert!

ok i just remembered one, last time i wasn't sure what yo guys meant, anyway tron bonne, if you've ever played this game you know it's funnier than all else. the game has no cutscenes or anime characters but the pictures are all anime, the game levels are polygon but everything else like the home base and the character pictures are all done anime style

Actually now that you mention it, one of the first games with anime type graphics was FF Tactics (that game is teh rox0r.) and the others would be the mega man legends games. Given MML didn't to the best job anime was clearly what they were shooting for.
