It will start off high then drop low when backlash falls upon it. I am guessing it will end up in the mid 80s to uppers 70s range, mainly because a lot of people seem to hate the anime vibe despite EVERY game Monolith Soft has done besides the Japan only Wii release Disaster: Day of Crisis having a strong if not outright blatant Anime/manga vibe.

If "anime vibes" doesn't bother reviewers with Persona games, then why would "anime vibes" ruin it for Xenoblade?

Yeah, I'd be shocked if more than a few reviewers at most dock anything because of the "anime vibe." Would be like if critics had trashed The Wind Waker because of the art style. As long as it does it well, and the game is looking very pleasing from the latest footage.
