The shooter with the best Japanese animation, the most cut-scene, the best story line, best voice acting, J-Pop Music, etc...

Macross 2036.

Nexzr, Hellfire S, and Sapphire also come to mind.

Hellfire-S is the first that comes to mind fitting that description.  Great cut-scenes.

But Sapphire and Sprrigan also have good cut scenes and excellent soundtracks.  ( I haven't played the others yet)

spriggan mark2 is fairly one big shooter anime too.

to be fair, more than half of the pce shooter repetoire has anime stuff init or is based on anime stuff.

Welcome to Pcenginefx!

I can second Hellfire S.  I'll have to think some more, because I seem to remember some other shoot-'em-ups with a lot of cutscenes, but their titles are failing me at this moment.

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.

Hellfire-S looks interesting, kind of a Dirty Pair feel to the Anime part, think I'll go with that one.

I personally say Terraforming is the most Anime like PCE Chootie due to the fact that when you start the first level you can tape down the II Button then switch the channel to watch two episodes of Cowboy Beebop, then switch back just in time to catch the final boss dying and the end credits!

Right stuff!
