Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes

NWC hasn't released any phenomenally bad games. While the ninth installment is unfinished, it's not a "death knell" for the series. "Crusaders," "Warriors," and "Shifters" are all decent games, albeit with some flaws. In general, elements of Japanese artistic style were present in the graphics of the very first game on NES and PC Engine, but it wasn't anime, more like manga.
