You're fooling yourself!

  • The entire cast is chibi sprites.
  • The lead character has green hair.
  • The game starts with people riding in mecha that shoot lasers
  • cute little white fluffy guys with poms and magic help you
  • a recurring villain is a tentacle monster
  • one guy has a kamehameha
  • his master is a hermit and when he teaches the ultimate move it's done while they fight in the air over his house going shing! shing
  • the katana user does the slice through attack complete with the enemies splitting in half after a pause

I mean I can go on but point is it's basically anime and the only reason a lot of people don't see that is because they didn't know what anime was when they played it.

Exploration is ill-advised.
the funny thing is the whole delayed reaction to being cut in half with a katana thing all comes from a Kurosawa movie where the blood squibs went off late, and Kurosawa decided it looked cool and kept it.

That's less delayed than I expected but I'm with Kurosawa on this one. That slight delay was rad.

They were ripping off each other so early and so earnestly it's sometimes hard to tell the difference.

Also reminded with Ran, which I need to watch; apparently Kurosawa showed the script to a friend who said 'Oh, it's like King Lear!', and Kurosawa wasn't familiar with the play, but then read it and retooled the script to be more similar and threw in some line references. Throne of Blood is an early example of Kurosawa making a samurai take on Macbeth, mixing in some Noh theatre elements. You get some interesting things when people openly combine cross-cultural themes.

Yeah same
There were only 3 but those two were constant mains.

Also, Gogo is explicitly unknown gender, no?

Yep. The introduction quote is like "Is this a man? A woman? Or should we ask...?" or something similar

Yep, the numbers add up, that's a genuine anime.

They did have at least one conversation alone that wasn't about a man

It was about espers or magitech or something

If its anime, It's bad.

Therefore

If it's good, it's not anime.

Therefore

Jojo's Bizarre adventure is not an anime.

It's something someone mentioned in another thread so I'm gonna take any opportunity I can to point that out. It happens in a lot of turn based JRPGs that aren't about big casts of characters like say, Suikoden or Fire Emblem or FF Tactics.
