I love anime and their cutesy stuff! Sometimes they do take things to the extreme but they(anime/japan/east?) view the world, hence life differently from the west yet at the same time influenced by it as well. What this means in practical terms is that their fantasy sometimes feel fantastic which I find lacking in western fantasy due to my over exposure to western stuff. We all love exploration in our RPG and this does not simply mean hidden loot behind the tree but rather looking at something and going "WTF is this!"
Anyway this is what keep me interested in anime these day.
