I'm a fan of the Rune Factory series. It's basically Harvest moon married to a traditional fantasy RPG. I don't enjoy RPGs enough to play many of them these days, but there's something about adding the two together that makes it extra special.

And the character designs, both in visuals and in personalities, are extremely anime. Rune Factory 3 kicks it up a notch, making characters tropey to the point of insanity. I can see some thinking that's a bad thing... but it's what I like.

Rune Factory 4 has an extremely long story, to the point it's kind of ridiculous. But because the base game is fun, I just keep returning to it and chipping away at it between periods playing other games.
