Does The Next Naruto Game Seriously Look This Good?

true *UPDATE* - Found a trailer on YouTube, thought you might want to see these gorgeous hand-drawn-style graphics in motion. <object width="440" height="362"><param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=32843"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode"><embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=32843" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="440" height="362"></embed></param></param></param></param></object> I am not a fan of anime.  It’s weird, because I’m such a complete junkie for American comics and animation, and I love Japanese lore; ninja, samurai, Fox Demons, etc.  There’s just something about the Japanese style of animated storytelling that I can’t connect with.  There’s also the fact that pretty much every anime character looks and sounds exactly the same to me.  As a result, I’m obviously not a fan of games inspired by anime and manga, either.  I’ll take the X-Men or Batman over InuYasha or One Piece any day of the week.   That being said, I have to admit that the screenshots for the upcoming PS3 title, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, look astounding.  If these are in-game graphics, we could have the best looking cel-shaded game of all time on our hands.  If they’re pre-rendered, then carry on normally.  Click for full-size images <a href="/contributed/1208447641qCcHAwJfly.jpg"><img src="/contributed/1208447641qCcHAwJfly.jpg" width="440" height="248"></img></a> <a href="/contributed/1208447651pDNADiKkZ5.jpg"><img src="/contributed/1208447651pDNADiKkZ5.jpg" width="440" height="248"></img></a> <a href="/contributed/1208447663yoNhpuyK5d.jpg"><img src="/contributed/1208447663yoNhpuyK5d.jpg" width="440" height="248"></img></a>Right square in the middle of my dislike for anime, there’s a special little section of disdain reserved solely for Naruto.  The character is obnoxious and annoying, his catch phrase, “Believe It!,” is utterly asinine, and seriously, what kind of ninja wears a safety orange jacket?  Not very stealthy.  Still, though, If this game seriously looks this good I may have to break down and buy it, then play it on mute.  Related Articles:<a href="/gamer/coop/news/article/ea_announces_battlefield_heroes/">EA Announces Battlefield Heroes</a><a href="/gamer/heykidnicerobot/news/article/crysis_trailer/">Crysis Trailer</a><a href="/gamer/coop/news/article/new_prototype_screenshots_show_change/">New Prototype Screenshots Show Change</a> news
