Steam Heart's!  It's tough to beat animated sequences of the hero f*cking the world back to sanity.

I'd say Macross 2036 for something that actually *is* based on an actual anime. A great deal of original content was made just for this game, it's almost an OVA with a shooter in it.

As for something original (although highly dirivitive) I'd suggest the first Spriggan game.

I don't really think of "anime" with Sylphia.  Yes the intro is a bit anime style, but the game in general just does not have the anime feel.  The game honestly aims for dark and gritty realism first and foremost to my eye.

I'd say Nexyz wins this one for being a complete ripoff of Gundam and Zillion.  Great shooter, but man it's rather shameless.

I defer to your expertise since I've never played the damn game. YOU CAN SEND SYLPHIA TO ME and I'll pay postage.

I'll say this: from the old screenshots I remember and watching a few minutes of your gameplay on TubeYou...I liked that Sylphia is a vertical shooter + Gain Ground (setting and enemies). That's a kool combo.

Haha!  TubeYou!

Macross is an easy pick since it is an anime.  However, I chose Kiaidan 00 along with BT since it's the most Anime-Like to me without being an actual anime.

Is it any good?

Kiaidan 00 if you want that Giant Robot feel for sure.

It's rather meh, with often bland backgrounds and a dumb status bar eating up a chunk of the screen.  The best parts are the boss battles and the naughty cut scenes, but even those aren't all that great due to being un-animated and overly long.

Psychic Storm!

but yeah, Steam Hearts as well.

The game is certainly not bad by any means.  It's actually one of my more preferred PCE shooters to play.  It's alot less elaborate than some of the other games.

Burning Angels, semi-hentai

And "Download" would've been so damn awesome if it had an anime
