Actually it looks like scenes in VAM, which is a pretty flexible app to do such things.
Like I said, it can be converted to anime like scenes later on I guess but it does the job even if it can feel out of place and some of the characters don't quite match well with the cartoon portraits.
GAME needs a hot-quick-save/load button, getting forced to finish a failed battle is annoying.
PS. The main menu has the sort of anime vibe going which would actually be good to keep going throughout the game, IMO. VAM scenes are quite nice and pretty but the ultra-realistic like art-style is a bit jarring for a game that otherwise has a entirely different art-style vibe going on. AGAIN, just my 2cents.
