I was talking style, not anywhere in that did I mention storyline, plot, or action sequences, anime is more linear in the fact that it produces realistic looking backdrops, buildings, places, and in some instances, normal people...it also adds texture, and regardless of your opinion of it, it's everywhere, most RPG's these days follow Anime storylines, or use Anime for the cutscenes and such, you cannot deny it's popularity, if you don't agree with it, than you don't have to watch it. Plain as that, I'm not holding a gun to your head and turning Sy Fy on Monday nights so you can watch it.
