Best Anime RPG Ever Made
Anime combined with the gameplay of role-playing games is often confused with another similar genre - jRPG, that is, Japanese RPGs. However, not all "role-playing games" with anime aesthetics are jRPGs and vice versa.
However, this also happens, and quite often. Mainly because anime has long been associated with Japanese culture. So if a developer decided to create an RPG in a Japanese setting, anime is an excellent choice.
