Well, to be honest, if the ghibli movies are special to you, that probably does make you an anime fan, even if you dont consider yourself one.  As the ghibli movies are a pretty good representative of most anime.

edit wrong thread

I disagree. Ghibli movies are pretty unique, even among anime. As someone who's watched a lot of anime over the last few years, I'd say Ghibli movies have more in common with a Pixar movie then anything else. They revel in their own worlds and atmosphere. The only way in which they really feel like anime is the simple fact that they are animated in Japan. The ghibli movies even have a distinct art style that is different from typical anime.

Ghibli movies appeal to everyone, not just anime fans. Thats why Spirited Away is one of the most popular cartoons of this century. It is Japans DIsney.

I wasn't going to get into the manga style argument, but that's just bullshit.  Tell that to Spirited Away, which won an Oscar and a Golden Bear.  Pretty much every film they've developed has received massive critical acclaim.  Why someone would try to down-play or deny that, I have no idea.

But I've told you I'm not an anime fan. 

how come I've never heard of this game?

I have it in my watch list, but i have too many games to finish, so I will wait and but it maybe on march-may

That comment sounds more childish than the artstyle itself...

On topic: I doubt it can be better than xenoblade. But what the hell do I know, I have'nt played it yet so we will see.

It'll be hard to top Xenoblade. From what I've seen this won't do it, but it could be a close second.
