Makes sense, as the series artist, Rodney Greenblat, is actually American. No More Heroes and its sequels sport a mix of cel shading and realism with a So-California setting, western-style character designs and names. Both
games do make multiple references to anime media, though. 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. The main character in Professor Layton, as well as many secondary ones, are designed in a classic French style, though other characters are designed in anime fashion. The character design of Sora that
Tetsuya Nomura created for the
Timeless River world (based off the cartoon short Steamboat Willie and other shorts during the 1930s) in Kingdom Hearts II, which makes him resemble a cartoon character from The Silent Age of Animation (Rubber-Hose Limbs and all). Just look◊ at him◊. 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 games are very Western, with the titular Silent Hill being a fictional town set in the American state of Maine. All of the main characters are American, with English voice acting even in the Japanese releases. The Metal Gear series takes its influence from American Hollywood action films such as: Escape from New York, Blade Runner, and other various Western media.
Horimiya is a treat, beautifully
animated by CloverWorks.
The beautifully animated scenes, combined with the OSTs, especially during the dramatic scenes, the sound is yet another aspect Horimiya thrives at. Starting from the mesmerizing opening sequence, which perfectly fits Horimiya’s theme, to the unique ending sequence.
One other thing that I
must separately mention is the dialogue delivery. This is one of the most important factors to me when I watch an anime. The dialogue delivery feels WAY TOO genuine.
