I feel the same way, but I think it's a sign of us getting older. We grew up with things a certain way and are dismissive of things that look and seem much different.

Well, that goes for Saturday morning cartoons. Whether Americanized or Japanimeafied, they're really all just shite made to sell toys and products to the undiscerning kid market. Ever go back and watch those old Batmans and X-Mens and Transformers? They're usually cringe-worthy considering how much I loved shows like that back in the day.

As far as what Prof. S is saying about games, I don't play enough games anymore to know what I prefer or don't prefer (I haven't yet played any of the games you mentioned). I can say that the anime-look turns me off. But again, I think that's just not having grown up with it and not given it a fair chance.
