Anime games on PlayStation cover a wide range, from slow, story-driven adventures to fast action RPGs. The common thread is a strong visual identity and characters you grow attached to. Before picking, decide how you like to play: turn-based combat with a long, plot-heavy campaign, real-time action, or reading-focused mystery stories.
If you want a stylish turn-based JRPG, Persona 5 is a good start, and Persona 5 Royal is the version that also appears on other platforms. Final Fantasy X offers a party-based, emotional story with turn-based fights. For action-focused play with colorful fantasy worlds, Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III are both tagged as story-rich action RPGs.
If you prefer exploring, Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves are open-world action RPGs with party-based play, and the list tags both with exploration. Lost Soul Aside is a more cinematic, stylish action RPG.
