Many games that have released in both China and Japan and become hits tend to have anime-style aesthetics.
However, when it comes to games that have achieved success in Western markets, compared to East Asia, I believe there are more realistic-style games than anime-style ones.
That's why I'm curious about what impressions people—who aren't particularly familiar with anime in their daily lives—have of anime-style games.
For instance, think about your favorite game genre: Souls-like, RPG, craft survival—anything goes.
When a game in that genre is released, it often features innovative new mechanics that sound incredibly interesting, but the graphics happen to be anime-style.
In this situation, would you ever decide not to buy the game or give it a lower rating simply because "the graphics are anime-style"?
