Maul Squad: I’m a fan of the One Piece series, there, I’ve admitted it. I’ve watched the anime and I currently read the manga weekly when it’s been scanned and translated with many other mangas which I’m in the middle of reading. For anime inspired games, there are a couple of gems in the rough but I don’t really play anime inspired games for the same reason why nobody plays licensed movie games, they’re normally turd (I’m looking at you Gungrave) and only accessible for fans of the series. One Piece: Pirate Warriors falls head first into that category.
Love Anime or Manga? Then these games are for you!
Agree with everything except SAO Lost Song. It should be replaced with either Rehollow Fragment or Hollow Realization.
Also there are a few other anime games that were pretty decent:
Gungrave
Berserk (dreamcast)
One Piece Grand Adventures/Battle Rush
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in Shell PS1
Yugioh games
Bleach Soul Resurrection
Cowboy Bebop
Hajime no Ipo
Steins;Gate
Nitroplus Blasters
Dengenki Bunko
MS Saga
And as for anime like games:
Persona
Blue Dragon
Tales games (my favorites being Vesperia, Symphonia and Graces)
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea
HDN
I could recommend some japanese games, not exactly from anime..but still i think its worth to play for people who like anime:
Killer is dead, no more heroes (USA wii versiom), No more heroes 2, killer 7, okami, viewtiful joe 1 & 2, god hand
Namco Bandai Games America has today announced the downloadable versions of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Impact (PSP/PSVita) and One Piece: Pirate Warriors (PS3) are available to purchase for 50% off the original price.
Just because they are on sale that doesn't mean they didn't sell well as digital titles.
Final Fantasy VII is constantly on the top 10 for PS1 Classics and its on sale this week.

A bit late with this "news"?
Bought Sleeping Dogs for 17,95€ from the tuesday deal. Today's deal NBA2k13, mega lame.
Some of the deals are OK, but some were atrocious:
Deal 2: Battlefield 3
– Was £59.99
- Now £29.99
- Amazon £20.00
Deal 6: Medal of Honor: Warfighter
- Was £59.99
- Now £29.99
- Amazon £19.99
Not to mention those using Euros getting a raw deal with smaller discounts - I'm so glad I set-up a UK account on my PS3 even though I don't live there!
I'm a huge OP fan but the games are just boring, I've never liked the Dynasty Warriors games. I with this was more of an RPG or open world type game. The entire wave after wave after wave of the same things get so boring. I bought the first one but never made it past Choppers arc because I just wasn't having fun anymore.

Is it so much to ask for a good game based on one of my favourite animes?I like the game but I can honestly say if it wasn't based on one piece it would suck to me.
I loved this game, though I do agree with all of the negative points about it. The way the awesome story of the series was told in the game was indeed lame, and there were way too many QTEs. I agree though, if not for the One Piece stuff the game would be crap. One Piece is my favorite anime/manga though so I'll gobble up anything to due with it; I only had two coins left before I could platinum this one, and now if they would just lower the price of the second game, I would be all up in that right now.
"They have the original Japanese voice actors from the anime with no English language setting in sight (thank god) so for fans of the anime it’ll sit right with them."
....Unless of course fans of the anime also happen to like the English dub.
