Minor rant: Anime and gaming

FWIW, Tentacles (and associated other goings on) is from Hentai.

Anime is just a Japanese art form, albeit a very stylised one.

What you have an issue with is not necessarily the attempted reproduction of the Anime style in a RPG but rather, what I call, the 'School Girl Syndrome' that most orientals suffer from.

Anyway, nothing wrong with some digitised eye candy.

The hell have the they done to Morrigan and Lelianna??? Blasphemy!

I personally love the manga style, but you're right, they need to give it a rest in video games. It works in 2d for cartoons and books, but not in 3d.
