There are way more games with anime style in the jrpg genre than in the most other genres. So what artstyle do you prefer and what game does it quite good?
Redemption Reaper is just a game i play right now that has a more realitic approache for it's grafik. This game has not a big budge and you see that in a lot of places. I think for less budge it's easier to do good artstyle with anime style grafik than with realistic.
Maybe unfair, because Redemption Reaper is not such a good game and i compare it with a game i adore the artstyle, but Tales of Arise is for me a example of one of the best art styles for anime or maybe any game out there. The character models a more typical anime models, but the surround look kind of drawn. I really like it. And yes it's not the best grafik out there, but i think one of the best art styles. That's a big difference and for me second is way more important.
I'm fine with both, but sometimes i tend a bit more to anime art styles.
I prefer the anime artstyle for several reasons. Most importantly, they tend to age better and I often like to play older games. In addition, I prefer bolder colours and more stylized lighting, which really make your second screenshot pop in comparison. There's also the the added bonus of more whacky designs (think dragon quest). With an anime artstyle, you can make both whacky and serious designs work easily.
