It feels like the "this game is too ANIME" thing comes up every couple of months.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Going back on topic, Scarlet Nexus doesn't actually end with them killing god with the power of friendship, but it does end up abandoning its more interesting ideas, imo. IE: it kind of forgets about its dystopian stuff in favor of just stopping the bad guy and saving the world.

I remember trying some Scarlet Nexus because it has some interesting designs and the intro presented some vaguely interesting ideas, reminded me a little of one of the few anime I liked called Psycho-Pass, but then it went into a mandatory slice-of-life sequence with the teenage girls talking about boyfriends, and I dropped the game because I have very low anime tolerance, but now I'm wondering if maybe I was too hasty.

Can someone tell me without spoilers if that game's plot goes somewhere interesting or does it do the formulaic anime thing of anime teenagers killing god with the power of friendship?

It's half VN and half CAG and is overall worse off for trying to straddle both genres imo. Everything about it is "okay" but no single aspect is particularly compelling enough to warrant playing, especially if you don't find the characters interesting

I don't think it's like a VN in any sense, actually?

...This feel like deja vu somehow.

I guess they just mean due to some of the cutscenes being essentially stills. I don't count that as a VN though.

I platinumed Scarlet Nexus and can't remember a scene where teenage girls talk about their boyfriends?

But it was pretty fun, filled with anime bullshit, and a little too long. A very fine 7/10 game. The bad poster won't like it, but maybe you will.

Yeah, not really a VN agreed, just the weird downtime section in between missions where you go around and talk to all the other characters just felt really disjointed like it was from some other game entirely. Espcially when you go to hang out with members of the other "team" and they're all like "you're trying to kill us wtf do you want? Why did I even agree to speak to you?" Which is pretty lol tbh but the vibes of that game are all over the place.

Scarlet Nexus is Dawn of Mana-core because you throw poo poo at enemies to open them up and it's also not that good but I liked it.

Literally nothing happened in first 3 episodes, which is how far I could handle watching it.
Mirai Nikki wasn't great but at least stuff happened in it.

I watched it when I was in middle school because it was what was available on my local torrent. I hardly remember what it was about, beyond it being generic trash.

i dunno whether i'd want ground stuff based around evasion and infiltration that builds into big robot battles, or a party based rpg where you have a meter that charges up and once it's fully charged you get to shout "BIG O, IT'S SHOWTIME"

boss fight where you can't call big o because it's the episode where a guy built a fake roger torso and head on wheels to distract the big o by just rolling in one direction and shouting "BIG O. BIG O. BIG O." over and over again
