At least I still remember Draglade. It's a shame we never got Draglade 2.

you do know that I'm just joking, right?
Of course WW isn't sexualized, I can't think a lot of games that have freaking zero sexualization like WW. (even if that girl that was rich and then became poor was kinda cute HNNG)
...no. I don't know you and this is internet where it's almost impossible to determine that, so I just try to contribute to the thread instead of trying to derail it to another "creepy anime fans" discussion.

Level 5 are geniuses because of that, there's a huge fanbase because of the damn shotas (I'm secretly one of them)
sorry then, Ganondorf(and everyone from WW) is not sexualized in any way or form. I usually know when someone's kidding, but then you get that guy from the thread earlier... some people are impossible to read.
they were not designed to be sexualized, if someone thinks they are hot/sexy or whatever it's not because of the game.

I actually really liked Draglade, it had pretty good pacing and the battle system is pretty fun. It really is a shame Draglade 2 never came out here.

comes to mind.
Outside obvious examples, such as selling your game solely on the premise of underage lolis with heaving bosoms (Hyperdimension Neptunia etc) or borderline pornographic gameplay mechanics (Ar Tonelico Qoga), it's difficult to say for certain if a majority of anime style characters were sexualized with intent by developers.
you didn't really take him seriously...
did you?
it was clearly sarcasm, you didn't really need to read into that to get it...
" In English, the term is defined as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes.[2] The intended meaning of the term sometimes varies depending on the context.[3]"
The style make it anime. Teen Titan and Wakfu are anime from outside of Japan. Anime is just a Japanese style Cartoon really. Its glamorized to be "special" because it come from Japan and japan is special and weird, but its really just Cartoons. If Batman was drawn in Japan instead of the USA, it would be a Anime. Location is not really good to describe a multinational media.
It didn't matter to me whether he was serious or joking, I just wanted to correct the notion that if someone finds a character sexy, it's a sexualized character. More people than him seemed to have that idea.

I DON'T HAVE THAT IDEA!
Rain doing the mobile trace was straight up, and also there is a naked Nastasha character.
MAYBE Megaman Zero? Leviathan is the only, maybe example in the first game.
It's not sexualized, but everyone is in robot underwear and appears to be that their body is drawn as if they were wearing tight spandex.
I don't recall any sexualization, however.

I think not, bathhouse/beach scenes that Tales is pretty infamous for shoot that to hell.
On Xenogears, Elly kills its chances with official artwork posing with her arms over her head like a Penthouse model and a full nude shot with nipples (in Perfect Works IIRC).
Wild ARMs (the original) didn't have any fanservicey stuff I can think of. Nor did Illusion of Gaia (which had a hardcore shoujo art style in the original release).

Draglade is an awesome game, the music combat is pretty fun and the dialogue is hilarious.

Anime-style game characters with no sexualization at all? Uh... yeah, I doubt it. Maybe there are a very few, but it would be a very very few...
The female characters in Valkyria are "front-line soldiers" wearing miniskirts, while the guys wear pants. Yes, they are sexualized.
and no the girls are not 'sexualized'.

Well, Duke is pretty sexualized. And it helps that there are not many female characters in the first place.
skirts = sexualized?
time to add burkas as standard option for female characters!
and no the girls are not 'sexualized'.
the DLC is not totally about Selvaria's boobs, right?
or that beach episode doesn't exist, right?

They're not the draw of the game. Are you really paying attention to their skirt/pant when the gameplay looks like this

Realistic soldiers in the modern world don't wear skirts... and regardless, by having the guys in pants and the girls in skirts they create a difference that only sexualization can explain.
Plus, two girls with zettai ryouiki in that shot you posted alone... and that's not even counting the various videos and such other people have linked. That video's clearly sexualized, by any definition.
Valkyria may have less sexualization than many anime-style games do, but it's certainly there.
What this thread is about.
1. Which anime art styled games have 0% of fanservice/sexualization.
What this thread isn't about.
1. Individual views on what you think is appropriate or acceptable.
2. What is the main part of the game.
As long as it exists in the game, then it defeats the purpose of the thread.

Come on, just look at her.

The police women in japan wear skirts as opposed to the police men! So does the School girls.
It's something followed nationwise!
I know it's sounds sexist but...
I never new that the day will come for us to opose women wearing sexy clothes...

Or skirts happen to be a female article of clothing?
By the way, I think there is some sexualization in VC but pointing out the skirts seems to be the weakest defense for it.

Megaman?
Some people are using examples from the anime based on the videogame which is not fair imo.
Also with the rules in this thread its hard to find many games that don't sexualise the women in them.

Selvaria is pretty much designed with *at least* sexual allure in mind. But that's just saying that a woman character in a game can't dress sexy lest the game itself instantly characterized as exploiting sexuality.
