I am not



Looks like an improvement to me

That's not what I said. You just explained what you don't like about anime. I said that that describes a narrow minded view of anime, because it does. You mentioned an anime you like, one that doesn't conform to the narrow-minded stereotypes you tried to push on "90% of anime." I said that there is much more anime that is more like the anime you liked and unlike the stereotype you dislike. I implied that disliking anime for the reasons you described is close minded, because I dislike anime that fits your description, and I find plenty of anime to enjoy.

I like Princess Mononoke. You like Princess Mononoke. That cancels the "if I dont like what you like" argument immediately. I'm saying that Princess Mononoke not having the things you dislike about anime isn't something that only graces a mere 10% of anime. Most anime isn't "overly melodramatic high school aged main characters, cutesy mascot co-stars, technicoloured hair, and other such widespread cliches."

I don't think I could get any more clear than this. I'm telling you the reality of what anime encompasses and you don't want to consider the possibility that it's the truth. That's the definition of being narrow minded. You're only hearing/seeing what you want to hear/see, refusing to consider the idea that reality might be more broad than what you first thought. There are thousands of thousands of anime content. Saying you don't like anime because it's cliché is like saying you don't like music or movies or websites or colors or stories or words because you heard a bunch of country songs or watched a bunch of rom-coms or clicked on a bunch of pop-up windows or have only ever seen different shades of the color green or only ever heard nursery rhymes or have only ever heard pronouns. You have to understand how frustrating that is to hear.

Anime is literally just Japanese animation. The Pikmin Short Films were technically anime. The Smash Bros. character trailers were technically anime. Every cutscene in Fatal Frame, a series you love, is technically anime. When you say "I don't like anime," you're saying "I don't when japanese people produce any product of animation, even if it looks, sounds, and read completely identical to something from any other territory."

The only reason I even say "I like anime" instead of "I like animation" is because Japan is the only place in the world where animation has such a high concentration of quanity that it has formed its own sub-culture.

That looks too good to be true when you consider their previous games.

Neither one of us has seen even 1% of all the anime ever made, but if you tried 100 cookies, and 95 of them made you sick, would you keep eating them?

Indeed. The character modeling is really good by their standard. But the animations in the trailer were quite stiff. :/

Let's hope it's only because the footage was from an early in development build. 

It does. But in movement, it's obvious that it's not, but it is undeniably a step up from everything else they've done so far. You may like the style or not, but there's no denying the character modeling is much better than what's found in their past games.
