Well, for the USers in FSD, but for Cakucks it was last month, lol. Although several countries celebrate their own version of it, they all have different dates.

But yeah, have a great Turkey Day Awesmic and the rest of you in the US. :D Get yourselves some sweet potato casserole (I've made it a few times now.. great stuff!)

When people say DOA is an anime game, what do they mean by that?

That said, I don't think it's right to apply the label of anime to some Japanese games and not others. It shouldn't be a label at all for games, imo, unless a game is literally based on an anime series. Games arent anime. In Japan, you could say some games contain anime (animations, like cut scenes), but it's not a style.

@inochinagi In other words, Japanese games are, not a style of anime, but an influence by and from anime. DOA is technically in the category. Art-wise, there are anime influence prior to 5, following a "realistic" look that Street Fighter did in 1-2 and 6 (Alpha/Zero, 3, EX and 5 have anime looks, though 4 was more calligraphy with cartoonish exaggerations).

DOA being anime is not inherently a bad thing either, because without the exaggeration of it's fantasy then it wouldn't be DOA. It all stems to fantasy one way or another.

The moment a ninja teleports, I already know that's anime-as-heck. It just happens to be an anime with a realistic look that has the anime power fantasy. Heck Jann Lee kicked a dinosaur, that's pretty anime/fantasy to me lol.
