How is it too anime? I played a little of 3 and never thought anime, but something like Hyper Dimension Neptunia or Arcana Heart is too anime.

I don't get it. Persona is anime but those games are way more anime to the point where even I won't touch them. That shit cringe worthy.
But you play SFV

Shit other than how it looks, P5 is as far from typical "anime" shit as can be.
The first act goes some DARK places.

Not playing Persona 4 is missing out on some of the best female character stories in games, hell, in any medium.

I never said I wasn't one of them. 👀

If I played and liked FFXV and Horizon Zero Dawn, would I like Persona 5? Or is it too weeb? (obviously never played any of the previous entries)

Do ya like turn based games or nah? Thats your answer.
I have a low tolerance I guess
I'm very reluctant and as much as I love SMT, I can't put more than an hour into a Persona without wishing it ditched the anime stuff
I don't know about those games you mentioned but I'm assuming it's why I can't shop for games whenever I'm in Tokyo, haha

999 was borderline but it was good enough that I could deal with it,

Yeah, i was a little surprised.
It is amazing how self aware the series is

I know it's wrong, but I just look at the cover and think "this game is probably shit".

It's turn based? I mean, I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy.
I don't know about all that.

I assume most of BCT is in deep when it comes to anime but just don't want to admit it.

I don't understand the logic of missing out on an entire medium because of how it outwardly appears to others. I still shake my head to this day that my friends refuse to watch Madoka Magicka because it looks too moe or girly.
Gintama is the best though.

inb4 "I didn't mean Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop or Dragonball"
I have only enjoyed one anime, and it was Trigun.

Stopped watching anime around after Angel Beats came out. Then I recently saw Attack on Titan and Brotherhood like a year ago. The former was straight up trash.
Though, I think sharing a room with a dude who had loli posters and visiting Akihabara has made me never wanting to watch anime.
But yes, GitS, Akira, shit like Nausicaa or Grave of the Fireflies are brilliant uses of the medium
Sadly anime isn't like that anymore
We'll, apparently it's a good show so I went to google to find out. I save y'all the effort.
(it's atrocious)

Don't post MOE in here. Please.

After episode 3 its actually this:Uhhhh
The cutest sailor moon aesthetic is used to hide what the show is really about, and ultimately deconstructs the entire genre. But you don't get that from looking at the surface.
I actually expected the moe girls to have swords and gigantic guns, they always do.

It's tiring when the same people complain about how "anime isn't the same", "what happen to all the good shows?" and don't bother to look beyond the surface. Here's some genuinely good non " moe"(which isn't even bad in itself) anime of the past 2-3 years.
I would throw in kill la kill but most people would not get the point of the show because they would have already dropped it the first episode.

You say it's too anime but you were just out here asking us if you should drop $200 on your girl to cosplay as this:
the answer of which is yes

What the fuck, there's a dialysis commerical playing in Houston of a cop constantly following/pulling over a black guy. And ends with a black woman saying the website/product

I had to pull teeth with my friends just to get them in, the fabulous nature of the series out them off initially.
The hell?
I feel like I have had this debate a bazillion times so I'll skip to the agree to disagree point:
When anime becomes your goto medium for a variety of genres and stories, then you become immune to how anime looks (and often sounds).
I even mentioned Angel Beats, which as far as I am concerned is Moe af. I was 17 then and I hadn't been exposed to how bad the aesthetic can be. Going to an anime con, looking at cosplayers, there's a very juvenile fanbase that quite frankly, ruin it for people.
I'm sure that one anime you posted has an amazing story, but aesthetically it's anime af.
The talk of older anime is that fan service, moe, over the top flashy key frame explosions weren't part of it back then. Anime can either be a broad term for Japanese produced animation, or it can mean "Anime".
I have multiple reasons to dislike the medium at it is today, and it mostly stems from the reason why it looks the way it does these days.
I'm sorta getting back into it thanks to Netflix.
I stopped watching anime a little bit after Toonami got shut down.
Since then I have watched:
- Gurren Lagann: Season 1, meh. Last 2 episodes of season 1, best. Season 2, better. Last 2 episodes of season 2, best.
- Kill La Kill: Kept watching hoping it would get as stupidly crazy as Gurren Lagann did. Meh
- Tokyo Ghoul: Good first episode, shit everything else. Gave up 2 eps into season 2. waste of time
- Fate/Zero: Loved it. Good style, good fights, had that "this show is not afraid of ripping out the heart of the viewer" vibe that I immediately picked up from the first NieR game.
- Fate/Stay Night: hated it. sappy consequence free children's show
- Death Note: really good first few episodes. gets worse with each one. by the time season 2 started it was garbage. stopped watching midway through season 2
- Attack on Titan: watched 2 episodes. didn't seem horrible. didn't seem great.
- Kuromukuro: got 5 minutes into episode 2 and stopped right there. I don't see this show going anywhere
- Aijin: weird 3d art style but seems decent enough content wise. Got 2 episodes into season 2 and tapered off
- One Punch Man: watched the first episode. seems like a good deconstruction of superhero/fight shows
- Gantz: bullshit
- New Voltron: Watched one episode and was surprised at how high budget it seems. on the backlog
- Psycho Pass: got 3 episodes in. seems decent enough. tapered off
- Parasyte: Got 2 episodes in. I'm really cautious on this show. Appears to have the potential to be either decent (but not good) or horrible.
- God Eater: 2 episodes. garbage
- Naruto: watched something like 3 seasons before I realized that I hated the show. Thankfully this primed me for...
- One Piece: ...which I immediately recognized that I hated. Stopped midway through the first episode. Thanks, Naruto.
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Really like what I've seen. 4 episodes in. Only watch it when I'm visiting family. My mom seems to like it.
- Berserk Movies: bleh mostly. Higher budget and the 3D stuff doesn't bother me but some of the changes I can't look past.
- New Berserk Series: watched the first episode. fucking trash. This is probably the worst anime i've seen since one piece
So yeah, I keep coming back to anime trying to find something that appeals to me and keep getting disappointed outside of 4 episodes of Gurren Lagann and Fate/Zero. However, the strength of those got me to watch even more and bounce off of basically everything.
Not sure what that makes me. It's like I'm chasing the dragon of anime that I used to like but almost everything is shit now or my tastes just mostly moved on.
So yeah, I guess I'm an anime fan. I just hate most anime :\
Edit: knew I forgot something. Added Jojo
Edit 2: Added newer Berserk stuff
