Things that are done in an art style similar to, or use tropes associated with, Japanese anime. Also called anime-influenced animation, Amerime or Americanime (if it's American), Franime (for French things), or faux-anime, animesque works come from a variety of sources. Some are simply non-Japanese creators deciding to mimic the style, while others are genuine co-productions. France and Canada are especially known for cooperating with Japanese producers in this way. In Japan itself, "anime" is a broad term for anything animated (being shorthand for the loanword "animation"), so technically, all of these examples are "anime" whether or not they are classic Japanese-style anime. Animesque art is a case of a 'full-circle' evolution, because the Japanese anime style was inspired by classical American theatrical animation of the 1930s and 1940s. For example, the big eyes of anime characters were taken straight from such works as Bambi and the old Fleischer shorts — think Betty Boop. The father of manga himself, Osamu Tezuka, was mainly inspired by the style of Carl Barks. This style was pretty prevalent in the early 2000s due to the international rise of the anime boom in media, with many following the trend. Nowadays, not so much, now that anime is pretty commonplace, though still a design choice for some. Note that this is about a work's art style, not its storytelling. Super-Trope to Anime Opening Parody. Compare Disneyesque. See also OEL Manga and Fanime. |

Splatterhouse rips from every single major American slasher horror franchise/movie from the The '70s and The '80s and mashes them all together into a gore-y stew, like Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, Evil Dead, House, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and many more. The game stars a paranormal investigator named Rick Taylor who has to rescue his girlfriend Jennifer from a house infested with monsters created by a Mad Scientist. | |

Genshin Impact was designed and developed by miHoYo (currently doing business as Hoyoverse), a mainland Chinese company, but opts for a full-on anime art style that could easily get it mistaken for an actual Japanese-developed game. This holds true for their other works as well, including Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero. | |

Spoofed in Super Troopers with the really cheap-looking "Afghanistanimation" cartoons produced by the Taliban. When they find a monkey sticker on bags of marijuana, Rabbit explains that this is likely a brand used by these particular dealers, borrowed from the Afghani cartoon Johnny Chimpo, vaguely reminiscent of Anime. | |

While originally inspired by Astro Boy, many aspects of the Mega Man (Classic) series have since evolved into being more Western. Taking cues from many futuristic sci-fi, episodic Saturday morning cartoons, and superhero comic books. Two of the main characters, Dr. Light and Dr. Wily in particular are blatant expies of Santa Claus and Albert Einstein respectively. The Darker and Edgier sequel series Mega Man X was made in the The '90s, and definitely wears its time period on its sleeve, highly imitating the "extreme" trend of many Western action cartoons at the time, with the soundtracks of the games relying heavily on rock and guitar. As mentioned further up the page, Mega Man even had a cartoon that ran for three seasons, which ironically was inspired by character redesigns Keiji Inafune made in his spare time. | |

Big Eyes, Small Mouth is an open-ended anime RPG, made in Canada. There were a few series-specific books, in case you wanted to roleplay Tenchi Muyo! for some reason, and you could certainly ignore its anime theme and use it for anything you wanted, but the main appeal behind the game is in roleplaying your own anime series. | |

Wolf Song: The Movie has anime like facial expressions sometimes, as well as sweat drops and pulsating veins during instances of anger. It does however switch between this and a more generic cartoonish style a lot, yet this style is more common whenever there isn’t a fight scene. Oh, and the dialogue can resemble anime dialogue at times (English dubbed anime dialogue that is) | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) went through a period of this from 1996 to about the mid-2000s. Cover artist Patrick "Spaz!" Spaziante was the first to go into this with James Fry and Ron Lim soon after. Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW) also invokes this often, especially when drawn by Adam Bryce Thomas, Aaron Hammerstrom, Thomas Rothlisberger, or Ghosts of the Future creator Evan Stanley. |

Just throw in Abraham Lincoln, some Type 1 Eagleland, a Steampunk setting, a Silver Age comic aesthetic, a Framing Device where cutscenes are played out in the panels of a comic book, and as if those elements weren't enough, a campy anthem as its theme song, you'll have a Japanese-developed game that is very Western. | |

The Simpsons: From "In Marge, We Trust", Miisutaa Supakaaru (Mr. Sparkle), the Japanese Homer Simpson. He's actually an amalgamation of two Japanese companies whose logos are a fish and a lightbulb, respectively. In "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo", there is a Japanese program called "Battling Seizure Robots", which parodies the infamous episode of Pokémon: The Original Series which caused seizures in nearly 700 people. In "HOMR", the family goes to an animation convention, and Bart and Lisa watch a parody of Fist of the North Star and Battle of the Planets. In "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade", Pikachu appears to Bart in a satellite TV-induced hallucination when he tries to take a standardized test. The couch gags of "Tis' The Fifteenth Season" and "Fraudcast News" feature the family dressed as several anime and Japanese media characters. Homer is Ultraman, Bart is Astro Boy, Lisa is Sailor Moon, Maggie is Pikachu, and Marge is Jun the Swan from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. In "Postcards from the Wedge", Bart watches an accurate parody of Pokémon: The Series when trying to do his homework, and lampshades both series' long runner status by wondering "how it managed to stay so fresh". Bonus points for the parody depicting Ash in his Diamond and Pearl attire, as the series was in the Diamond and Pearl arc at the time of the episode's first airing. "Treehouse of Horror XXXIII" has a segment titled Death Tome, a parody of Death Note which is animated in the style of the anime. |

X-Blades has a protagonist named Ayumi, and she is rendered in Animesque style. The game was created by russian game developer Gaijin Studios (Gaijin means 'foreigner' in Japanese) Its sequel, Blades of Time, jumps on current marketing fads and largely dumps the aesthetic, resembling a Tomb Raider game where a vaguely anime Lara Croft runs around with blonde twintails. | |

Joy, the protagonist of Inside Out, is designed to look like characters from Japanese cartoons or anime. This is due to the size of her big eyes, hair color and cut, nose style, tall and thin figure, and mainly her face seen in profile, something common in female anime characters. In 2, Envy is now added with these same anime features. Even she has the added bonus that her eyes fill with sparkle when she wants what others have. |

British humour comic The Beano has got in on the act as of the early 2020s: for example, when Batman eats a banana-flavoured sweet instead of a banana to power up, he becomes a chibi version of his usual self, "smaller and sweeter". In late 2022, Minnie the Minx had a storyline parodying One-Punch Man in which she became One Pinch Min, able to defeat enemies with a single pinch. In general, only the character who is the focus of the parody is redrawn in animesque style; other characters and the background don't change. | |

RWBY by Rooster Teeth is an interesting example of this, with everything about the series looking like a 2010s anime, complete with chibis and various animesque expressions... except that they're 3D animations, making them appear like a series made of cutscenes from a post-Oughts JRPG or a 3DCG show by Sanzigen Animation. It actually does a good job on turning those anime gimmicks 3D, and is able to mix in some Western animation tricks as well. Hilariously, when it was uploaded to Crunchyroll, some people started demanding for the "original" Japanese audio, apparently not realizing that English was the original language (although it received a legit Japanese dub later on). While most of the cast placement and angles appears to be a mix of the Machinima style and soap operas, the fight scenes show Monty Oum's signature mix of anime and Kung Fu/Wuxia choreography norms with western martial arts. It apparently did a good enough job of keeping to Japanese tropes, as the series was popular in Japan and ended up getting official manga adaptations — one by Dogs: Bullets & Carnage artist Shirow Miwa, and another as a 4-volume anthology series — and, eventually, an actual anime adaptation in the form of RWBY: Ice Queendom, a collaboration with Studio SHAFT. | |

Kirby stars a round pink creature with large red feet, and the scenery and characters are clearly reminiscent of cartoons such as The Smurfs. Even the main antagonist is a fat penguin in a Santa Claus-like outfit, and enemies include orange creatures wearing chef hats and wielding frying pans and large beetle-like insects with gloves and sneakers. Played straight with the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, which definitely looks like an anime. | |

Transformers: Generation 1's toy commercials would get shifted from a style more in line with the cartoon (itself falling into this trope regularly depending on episode) early on, to a more anime-looking appearance for 1987's lineup of figures onward (though ironically, not to that of the actual anime released at that time). Of particular note are the ones for the Headmasters, Fortress Maximus and Scorponok. | |

Starting with 2 especially, Ace Combat is heavily influenced by Top Gun regarding its focus on air battles and a western inspired pilot taking the role of The Ace to fight out enemies in mostly European and American counterpart conflicts. While the sleekness of Japanese and anime aesthetics are felt especially with better technology allowing the characters and futuristic environments to be rendered in that regard, they're still primarily taking from western political thrillers, western military science fiction and Cold War era action flicks from the original Top Gun's era. In fact, Ace Combat 7 would feature a crossover promotion with Top Gun: Maverick, a sequel so long awaited to the original that comparisons between Top Gun and Ace Combat were frequently made over the decades of the latter's releases in that Ace Combat was likened to as close as one could get to more Top Gun. Maverick finally releasing and crossing over with the Japanese franchise so inspired by it brought things full circle. | |

The Caverns of Hammerfest contains a few animesque traits, what with the blurred-feet running animation for Igor and the little dance he might do after you idle — the latter being is a homage to Haré+Guu. | |

While it firmly belongs to the JRPG genre (being a partial parody of it), the EarthBound (1994) series is also heavily influenced by 1950's sci-fi, American newspaper comics like Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, and other Western media. The settings of the games range from small middle American towns (Onett, Twoson) to big bustling metropolises inspired by New York City (Fourside)—EarthBound is, after all, the Trope Namer for Eagleland. Two of the main protagonists, Ninten and Ness, are even All American Boys. | |

While most of Homestuck is drawn in its own unique style, quite a few anime and video game tropes show up in the story, the GIF animations, and especially the more elaborate Flash animations, leading to a running joke among the fandom that "Homestuck is their favorite anime". This came to a head when Act 7 was released, which was hand-drawn anime instead of the usual style of Flash animation. | |

In "Batman's Strangest Cases", an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, one segment is an Affectionate Parody of the '60s Batman manga by Jiro Kuwata.

Capcom's Resident Evil series is influenced by Western Zombie films, Horror B-movies, and various Hollywood action films and Conspiracy thriller. All of the main characters are English, and the settings of the games are generally American. The fictional Raccoon City of the first three games is based on a midwestern Everytown, America. The first game even went so far as to have English actors and voice acting for its live action cutscenes, even in the Japanese releases. Unsurprisingly, there have been numerous Western Adaptations of the franchise, including an entire series of American films. | |

Space☆Dandy is a Genre Throwback to campy western Raygun Gothic in terms of plot, setting and music. The designs and movements of Dandy and his mostly alien cohorts are far more exaggerated akin to the western cartoony style. The series also embraces episodic Negative Continuity akin to western children's cartoons where characters end up hurt and dead, only to be okay the next episode as if nothing happened prior. | |

A Mr. Men fan series by the same author (called The Mr. Men and Little Miss Show) has Little Miss Slippery, who is drawn this way as well. Later on, Little Miss Wacky and Little Miss Camouflage, who are also drawn this way, were added into the series. In all the fan series by this author, the style is referred to as "Animeniesque", which is pronounced similar to (and is possibly also a reference to) Animaniacs. | |

Turning Red pays a lot of homage to anime, as the director is an anime fan. There are a good amount of cartoony and exaggerated anime expressions on the characters' faces, like sweat drops, sparkly eyes, Playful Cat Smiles and rivers of tears. Also, Mei draws a boy she is crushing on in an anime style in her sketchbook. Fittingly, the movie takes place in the early 2000s, when anime was enjoying a surge of popularity in North America. | |

Silent Hill is frequently mistaken for an American franchise due to the American setting and realistic graphics, and takes a lot of influence from American media such as Jacob's Ladder and the works of David Lynch.

The series is rather Animesque on its own, but that didn't stop it from doing a complete and full parody of Speed Racer — right down to the style, plot line and Motor Mouth dialogue. Except DeeDee, who didn't get the joke and was animated (largely) normally. | |

Manga, anime, and bad dubbing are affectionately parodied in Horton Hears a Who! (2008) while Horton, an elephant, imagines he's a heroic ninja capable of performing feats of incredible athleticism and techniques such as an enormous pink beam attack from his hands, while his sidekick Morton the mouse and the clover (which is simply home to the microscopic Whoville and its mayor who communicates with Horton) become a floating Mentor Mascot and a talking flower respectively. The result looks a lot like Teen Titans, and it is about as sudden and abrupt as it sounds. | |

StarTropics and its sequel Zoda's Revenge don't hide their American influence at all, in fact, the games are so blatantly Western that the developers even went out of their way to make many references to American history and pop culture. The protagonist, Mike Jones, was named after the most common American names at the time (1990). Star Tropics' very western design was practically intended by Nintendo, as the Star Tropics games were designed to capitalize on the Western markets, and were not released in Japan. | |

The Legend of Zelda takes cues from many western fantasy novels and movies; with key influences being Greek mythology, the legend of King Arthur and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, Japanese influence became more apparent in games following The Wind Waker. They still hold many western influences and Twilight Princess was specifically based on Wild West stories. Breath of the Wild firmly returns the series to its Western influence via its focus on exploring a land akin to European and Near East fantasy, with notable exceptions such as the Yiga Clan and Sheikah taking Asian influences, with the Sheikah warrior Impa in the prequel, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, fighting with a Hand Seal usage and Ninja Run that has gotten compared to Naruto. Meanwhile the Link's Awakening remake has more Japanese influences. Much like its sibling series, the Zelda series has its share of Western adaptations. | |

Ninja High School was drawn and written by Ben Dunn, an admitted anime and manga addict, and spoofs and/or parodies anything and everything in the genres that it can get away with in its early issues.

LEGO: LEGO Exo-Force was LEGO's take on anime and the Humongous Mecha, replete with very exaggerated Shonen Hair, random kanji slapped everywhere, typical Japanese names, and a heavy dose of anime and mecha-genre tropes. In the same vein, Ninjago focuses on Ninjas with a bit of mecha thrown in here and there, most notably the Samurai X mech and various Serpentine vehicles. It's a little more subtle about it in that it limits itself to Shonen Hair and kanji is few and far in between. The names also reflect a much larger variety, with only Kai, Nya and Misako being anywhere close to Japanese. It still uses a lot of anime cliches, such as magical weapons, power-up transformations, color-coded chosen warriors and the aforementioned Shonen Hair. It also mixes several other Asian themes into it as well, most notably Sensei-Wu, who appears more Chinese than Japanese. |

Streets of Rage is about ex-cops hunting down crime boss Mr. X and freeing the city from his wrath, while beating up hoards of enemies along the way. This all backed up by a soundtrack influenced by rave techno. | |

Lady Red by Akira Toriyama is a homage to, and parody of, Western comics. It is written from left to right, features typical comic book sound effects in big lettering, and has a sense of humour that is quite cynical and almost mean-spirited, a far cry from the man's typical zaniness. The general style, however, is quite clearly Toriyama's. | |

Slightly Damned is very anime inspired. Not only are characters drawn in anime style, but the comic also uses a lot of Manga Effects and has several anime and Japanese video game Shout-Outs. The appearance of demons, dragons, other fantasy creatures in Slightly Damned seem to be heavily Pokémon inspired, as the creator draws a lot of Pokémon Fan Art. | |

Paranatural: Isaac frequently dips into this, highlighted by his allegedly natural spiky hair and brooding, dramatic personality. It's made much funnier by the fact that only this one character is ever drawn with anime eyes or floating sparkles. The other characters (mostly Max) react accordingly. The readers do as well; Isaac doing things such as turning dramatically, or walking with his eyes closed and a smile while light shines on him from no apparent source spawns comments such as, "Isaac is being awfully anime today. He should probably get that looked at." The Hitball arc is generally described as the time the comic "went full anime", with impassioned speeches, lots of Talking Is a Free Action, and everyone taking the whole thing way too seriously. Every single bit is of course mercilessly lampshaded. |

The Super Mario Bros. series looks like it is firmly planted in the roots of the The Golden Age of Animation in terms of design. The main characters are plumbers with large noses and moustaches who speak with a heavy Italian accent; the use of anime tropes in the series is rather rare aside from subtle graphical elements (particularly the facial expressions of characters); and the minimal audible spoken dialogue by any of the characters (in any regional version) is in English. Some characters take it further, Princess Daisy's dialogue in particular borrows from many different American English dialects and accents, like Valleyspeak, Southern Dixie and Ebonics, and Wario and Waluigi are inspired by a classic American character archetype. That said, there are plenty of Japanese influences too, mainly in the form of call backs to the culture and mythology (Usually in the form of Power ups like Raccoon/Tanooki Mario and Cat Mario), and the female characters like Princess Peach have a more anime-styled motif than the male characters, and come across as a blend of western and eastern character designs, particularly in 2D art for games like the Mario & Luigi series or Super Princess Peach. Unsurprisingly, the Mario series has had its share of Western adaptations, including Saturday Supercade, the three DiC Entertainment series, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. | |

Extracurricular Activities is a Western novel where the facial expressions and gags are anime-influenced, as well as the novel borrowing from the Harem Genre where instead of cute girls, the love interests are hulking anthropomorphic men. In early 2018, the novel switched over to a new artist where the art direction became less animesque. | |

Killer7 looks, sounds, and feels like if it was made by Mainframe Entertainment than Capcom and Suda 51, and if it was a game in Reboot. All characters have a design that evokes the style of dark-themed comics like Batman and Deadpool, and the music takes cues from superhero cartoon series from The '90s. Even the cutscenes outsourced to Japanese companies (like the opening of the chapter Sunset or those of Alter Ego) retain the Western style to a major extent. There is, however, a boss who parodies the Magical Girl genre in her introduction, though upon being defeated twice she turns out to be the American woman Curtis Blackburn abducted during the opening of the chapter Encounter, roleplaying as a magical girl. | |

This was a very intentional move on Nintendo's part when creating the first Donkey Kong arcade game, a game that they created because a prior arcade game of theirs, Radar Scope, had flopped hard in the US despite being a bit hit in Japan. To clear out their enormous stock of unsold Radar Scope machines, Nintendo decided to create a game that would be a surefire hit in America and convert the Radar Scope cabinets to run it. To ensure its success in America they took a lot of influence from classic American cartoons when designing the game. | |

Regular Show: The episode "Brain Eraser" has Mordecai and Rigby rent a videotape of an anime series known as "Planet Starlight Chasers Excellent", which is a parody of many anime series that were popular in The '80s and The '90s. It fits in with the Retro Universe of the show itself, having blinding fight scenes and a Gratuitous Japanese theme song. The video store owner (voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who has done voices for many anime) confesses to watching it "all day, every day." The episode "Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special" is a huge homage to the Humongous Mecha genre, complete with a Shot-for-Shot Remake of the opening to Neon Genesis Evangelion. |

One Piece. The deformations of faces pushed to the limits Looney Tunes-style are probably the most prominent factor. Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit powers are a close second, looking like something taken out of a Tex Avery cartoon. This comes full circle when Luffy gains his Gear 5 transformation after his powers awaken. In this form, he behaves no different than a slapstick Zany Cartoon character. Eiichiro Oda stated that Tom and Jerry was what inspired him to create Gear 5 in the first place. It's even been speculated that its lack of similarity to the archetypal style of anime is a factor in why it took so long to catch on outside of Japan. | |

Exchange Student Zero revolves about two students from Australia who frequently play with cards from a card-based anime. A series of events brings one of the game's characters, Hiro, to life, with more joining him as the movie progresses; as a result, the animation is a mix of the Western-styled "real life" characters, done in simple Thin-Line Animation with Black Dot Pupils, and the anime-based card characters, who have Big Anime Eyes and are more detailed with robust shading. | |

The Boondocks has been using an animesque artstyle since its newspaper comics strip days.

Magic: The Gathering plays this straight often (for example, Chandra, the Firebrand and Jace, Memory Adept. Double points in that there was a special edition version of their original cards drawn by a manga artist released sometime before), but it's averted in the Japan-themed Kamigawa block, which seemed to go more for an art style reminiscent of traditional Japanese art instead of anime. The return to Kamigawa, Neon Dynasty, plays it both ways: actual card art is either the usual Magic style or flat out allusions to traditional Japanese art, including a saga cycle made on classical mediums like carvings; however, the marketing is heavily animesque, culminating in a manga, a Visual Novel and the trailer. | |

The Fairly OddParents! made-for-TV movie Channel Chasers has Timmy and Vicky surfing through the dimension of television with magical remotes, creating parodies of numerous classical cartoons, two of which are anime. The first is for Speed Racer's often-joked fast voice acting in the dub. The second is another Dragon Ball Z spoof with a show titled Maho Mushi, portraying a (to Americans) violent fighting tournament and a multitude of beam attacks. The characters' designs change accordingly; Timmy now has bead eyes similar to Krillin while Vicky is dressed like Piccolo. At one point, Cosmo accidentally blasts two holes into sides of the arena. (At least he wasn't Majin...) Though the remote controlled giant mecha were still out of place. | |

The recursive "American cartoon with Japanese-outsourced animation that disguises itself as American" style that was endemic in the '80s (see the "Animation-USA" tab in the "Straight Examples" section) was parodied in the Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Sweaters", which featured a high school and a couple of characters drawn entirely in this style. They even have a more washed-out color scheme as if they were ripped straight from an old VHS tape. Sarah's drawings are drawn in a deliberately sucky but anime-inspired way. The flashback sequence in "The Fury" is done in a Dragon Ball style, while fight sequence in the same episode is done in an Animesque style. |

Sonic the Hedgehog, done deliberately so to appeal to the Western market. The design of the Funny Animal characters take cues from Inkblot Cartoon Style, settings, especially urban ones, have a Western feel, an emphasis on techno, rap, and rock for a lot of the music throughout the series, plenty of Gratuitous English in the original localization, and the general "attitude" was to appeal to the "rebellious" nature commonly associated with countries like the United States. | |

CAPTAIN YAJIMA, a short film made by Ian "Worthikids" Worthington of BIGTOP BURGER fame, is an interesting example. The short was animated in Blender, and evokes a distinctive Will Vinton-meets-Rankin/Bass stop-motion aesthetic, but the character designs and expressions are heavily inspired by anime. To add a layer of authenticity, the voice acting is done entirely in Japanese, and provided by RASH A1M, the same Japanese dubbing team that worked on the Japanese dub for BIGTOP BURGER. | |

Radiant could easily be mistaken for a Japanese series — it even goes on the Manga namespace on This Very Wiki. Valente notes his influence from Akira Toriyama and Yusuke Murata's works, and it definitely shows in his art. He even refers to the series as a ShÅ�nen manga by name. It's also one of the few mangaesque series to fully make the jump to its country of inspiration; Murata endorsed the series when it was translated into Japanese, and Lerche spearheaded an anime adaptation of the series airing in late 2018. Hiro Mashima commented in volume 5 that "while it looks like a Japanese manga at first glance, its slightly bitter tone feels very European." | |

In the same vein, Ninjago focuses on Ninjas with a bit of mecha thrown in here and there, most notably the Samurai X mech and various Serpentine vehicles. It's a little more subtle about it in that it limits itself to Shonen Hair and kanji is few and far in between. The names also reflect a much larger variety, with only Kai, Nya and Misako being anywhere close to Japanese. It still uses a lot of anime cliches, such as magical weapons, power-up transformations, color-coded chosen warriors and the aforementioned Shonen Hair. It also mixes several other Asian themes into it as well, most notably Sensei-Wu, who appears more Chinese than Japanese. | |

Fairy Tail has a similar art style to One Piece but then that would be a case of an anime imitating a western-influenced anime. Thanks to Art Evolution, Fairy Tail started being drawn in a style that leans much closer to the "traditional" manga/anime style.

Warhammer 40,000: The Tau are said to be designed to appeal to anime fans. The reception was and still is mixed. This may have less to do with Japanese influence, which is largely present only in their rather Macross-inspired Battlesuit designs and more to do with their perception as a "good" race by many players in a setting famed for its Grim Darkness. The Tau philosophy is also as much or more Japanese than it is Chinese, specifically WWII-era "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" expansionism. The "mecha" design of their battlesuits, vehicles, and power armour is clearly of Japanese pop-culture origin, with a substantial aquatic-form influence. The Eldar are more Japanese-inspired, though the post-Rogue Trader Eldar were explicitly based on organic forms, with an increasingly heavy Art Nouveau influence as the designs evolved. |

The Splatoon series is what would happen if you asked Nintendo to take everything that made 1990s Nickelodeon what it was, and design it into a game. The series still has a heavy Japanese influence, as the first game features a pair of Idol Singers and takes place in a city based on Shibuya, Tokyo. Splatoon 2 has a more American influence, with Inkopolis Square taking inspiration from Times Square and featuring a DJ/rapper duo modeled after Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.. | |

The Machinimas Brawl Universe and Smash King tend to heavily lean on the side of anime with how their episodes are filmed and edited, as they tend to use EyeCatchers, Japanese Opening/Ending themes as well as Cold Openings, and their action sequences do borrow from anime with the Effects of White/Black spikes surrounding the screen if something dramatic happens, as well as sometimes using transformations in battles. | |

Zig-zagged with don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story. While it is a Western-made visual novel, its background CG art and character sprites are used ready-made from a Japanese designer that specifically makes them available for amateur visual novels. The AmieConnect avatar pictures and event CGs, though, are drawn by a western artist in animesque style, but with still a heavy western feel. The transition is actually slightly jarring. | |

In TitanFall2 Is more apparent than the first game. The setting, the more outlandish Titan designs and abilities, the use of the Pulse Kunai, shuriken in the grenade slot, subtly more bizarre weapons such as the Alternator, Jack being a rookie who fell into the cockpit, and the over-the-top action certainly give off the vibe of a mecha anime at times. | |

During its development, Jet Force Gemini was inspired by several science fiction works, including the anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, hence the character designs for Juno, Vela and to a lesser extent Lupus, specifically their anime-style eyes and the humans' space suits. In particular, Juno's helmet is modeled similarly to that of Ken the Eagle, while Vela's skimpy wear mimics that of Jun the Swan. At one point in the game, their suits are upgraded with Jet Pads to fly in certain places, similar to the Science Ninja Team when gliding with the Bird Style. And each time the player resumes their playthrough, the character selection has the heroes preparing to eject from their mothership into the site of action, similar to when the Gatchaman characters prepare to head into the current episode's place of conflict. | |

Starfighter is essentially a Western made Yaoi comic. So it has Sh�jo-inspired character designs in which the Cast Full of Pretty Boys are all Noodle People with angular yet realistic features and unique, often spiky hairstyles (when they're not Long-Haired Pretty Boys). It also makes heavy use of essential Yaoi tropes. The two main characters are the sensitive, feminine Uke and his aggressive, dominant Seme Fetishized Abuser. | |

Gold Digger, another Antarctic Press title by Fred Perry, has an art style heavily influenced by anime/manga, but the artist himself tends to keep the proportions within the art consistent and avoids the common visual gags for the most part.

In League of Legends, a few champion designs and some champion splash arts have a noticeable Eastern influence — one big difference between this game and its nearest rival game Dota 2 is that Dota 2 looks more like a Western RPG, whereas League looks more like a JRPG. League as a whole is still distinctly a western game, but it still likes to integrate a few anime references in many of its designs/quotes/storylines, as well as in several non-canon skins, most prominently the Super Galaxy and Star Guardian lines. | |

South Park gleefully subverts this trope on a handful of occasions. Most notably, "Good Times with Weapons", where the boys acquire ninja weapons and subsequently get a massive art upgrade into Street Fighter-esque badassery. (The song "Let's Fighting Love" is more or less about how the song makes no sense, especially the Gratuitous English parts.) And "Chinpokomon", in which the boys' craze over a Pokémon-style hobby turns their eyes into arches when they smile and causes them to spout Japanese gibberish with glee. Bonus points: Trey Parker and Matt Stone speak Japanese so it really is gibberish. "A Song of Ass and Fire" and "Titties and Dragons" has Kenny turning into a Magical Girl, Princess Kenny. |

MegaTokyo is the archetypal example of this trope in the world of webcomics, even going so far as to take place in Tokyo and be a fantasy/dating sim storyline. The comic has become one gigantic deconstruction of the most popular genres of anime, complete with a disaffected Magical Girl who can't really use her powers the way she thinks a magical girl should (meaning, like Sailor Moon). | |

Homestar Runner's 20X6, featuring anime versions of the main cast, like Strong Bad as Stinkoman and Homestar as Stinkoman's sidekick 1-Up. ...And then it gets even more meta with Xeriouxly Forxe, which is a parody of this very trope, particularly edgy anime-influenced cartoons from The '90s such as SWAT Kats. In 2022 stationary featuring Teen Girl Squad in a chibi art style was sold. | |

Monica's Gang: There is a spin-off series focus on the teenager audience called Monica Jovem (Monica's Teen Gang). Just compare the normal and cartoony Monica and her friends◊ with her Teen◊ version. The Teen comics are in black and white, while Monica strips were often made with colorful tones. The comics still read left-to-right, though (complete with a last-page notice warning readers of this). Some editions even parodies famous anime like Death Note or games like the Phoenix Wright franchise and MMORPGs in general. After the success of Monica's Teen Gang, another printhouse published Luluzinha Teen◊. Yes, it's Little Lulu for teenagers in animesque and yes, that's Tubby Tompkins kissing a Sailor Moon cosplay. For some reason, Animesque comics aimed for teenagers are getting a high popularity in Brazil. |

Street Fighter takes inspiration from American cartoons in many ways. The original Street Fighter had an art style reminiscent of 60s action cartoons. Street Fighter II continued this with an art style similar to 80's Saturday morning cartoons, which was taken to a logical conclusion. Street Fighter III continued the Western style further with a artstyle resembling an upper-tier action cartoon with extremely fluid animation and a soundtrack inspired by Late-90's Hip-Hop, Jazz and Techno with loads of English. Street Fighter IV takes the action cartoon artstyle of II and brings it into the third dimension, which in turn made the game even more colorful and cartoony than prior entries. | |

Katawa Shoujo is a Western attempt at making a Japanese-style Visual Novel, complete with anime-style artwork. The art style is because the original art that inspired the game was Japanese. Some people saw a Japanese artist's drawings for a visual novel he'd like to see one day and decided to make it an actual visual novel. It succeeds at emulating Japanese anime/manga and Visual Novels so well that a good amount of fans were actually surprised to hear that it wasn’t made in Japan. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: The series is rather Animesque on its own, but that didn't stop it from doing a complete and full parody of Speed Racer — right down to the style, plot line and Motor Mouth dialogue. Except DeeDee, who didn't get the joke and was animated (largely) normally. In the first series finale, "Last But Not Beast", the students at the Japanese school Dexter transfers to own a mecha. Also, the teacher there had pink hair and blue eyes. In a revived season episode, the villain Hukouchou looks like an evil bishÅ�nen. Long hair, icy blue eyes, pointy ears, and so on. |

Happy Heroes: From the same crew who made Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, similarly uses animesque facial expressions on its characters. | |

Warrior Cats' graphic novels, despite being American in origin, are called manga, and James Barry in particular has a more animesque style than the other artists. He tends to give cats tufts on their heads, even though cats don't actually have said tufts (and in an extreme example, one had actual hair◊). | |

Kuro Shouri is inspired, both visually and in story, by anime of the 90s and 00s. It has taken some cues from Western works over time. | |

Mechagical Girl Lisa ANT. Even though Ida Kirkegaard is Danish, the drawings are something like distorted manga-style drawings. | |
