Also, it hasn't been a super well received title. But Square's The Last Remnant has Square's usual modern mixture between realistic CG and anime faces.

And ironically, the pc version is the best version of the game.

-Aquaria - Metroidvania game underwater, some people compare it to Eco, but Inever played Eco.
-Amnesia The dark Descent - very good horror game
This year : Fortune Summoners, 5 games from Nyu Media, Probably Bunny Must Die, and probably another Carp fulgur game.
Imo, currently is a very good time if you are interestered in japanese games for the PC.

I've been meaning to play Cthulhu saves the world and amnesia I just haven't gotten around to it yet :<
And I am looking forward to those games being released. I looked at some videos of bunny must die and it looks really fun
I would've enjoyed rusty hearts more if it was just pure hack and slash and not an mmo. I also own The Last Remnant as well which I haven't played either. Damn steam sales increasing my backlog everytime D:

It's pretty fun, though it's a puzzle game. The art is actually pretty western when it's seen in the actual game world. The story is kinda anime-y though, I suppose; like an anime with Might and Magic lore, which isn't quite as awesome as it could have been, but it's alright.
Terarria is definitely a fantastic game worth playing if you haven't, though its not anime-y at all. SNES-y, certainly. Diablo-meets-Minecraft-meets-Metroid.
Oh, and if we're ignoring the whole "anime" thing in favor of random indie games, Mount and Blade: Warband is immensely satisfying. It's an open world RPG where you get to fight as a single person in large medieval battles. Very fun, very time consuming.

I know OP ask for games on Steam but over at Gamersgate.com there are many 16bit style RPGs with anime style character designs such-as the Millennium series which I found enjoyable. Also check out "Explodemon!" also at gamersgate.

I don't know what the policy on thread necromancy is. And whether this is worthy of a bump.
But Analogue: A Hate Story was just released on Steam. Quite unusual, it is an American game about Korean culture. Not that it ought to be a strange thing. Kind of another American/Western takes on the visual novel like Katawa Shoujo, that have been becoming more prominent in the West lately. Also with anime graphics, but the culture in place is wholly Korean, instead of Japanese. I've noticed that South Korea is becoming a lot more associated with anime in recent year, and has become a lot more popular of a subject to write about. And to be "different" some people liking writing about a Korean subject for a change instead of Japanese. Due to South Korea dominating the MMORPG market with "anime games", manwha, the "Korean wave", and ect.
As well as being an anime visual novel-esque game about Korean culture. The protagonist, aside from you, seems to be an artificial intelligence named Hyun-ae. Whom looks rather reminiscent of Mio from K-On!. With quite an extended cast of characters whom seem interesting. It's also not just about Koreans, but KOREANS IN SPACE! Sorry, had to make that joke. The story seems to be about unraveling a Korean space colony of sorts, which was, for whatever reason, broken off contact from the other space colonies(which sounds like they're in trouble). And I would guess the point of the story is to discover it. It also seems pretty tragic(and well written), from what I've heard. Makes sense, considering that you've started off hearing that the poor Korean colony has been cut off from the rest of space civilization.
Anyway, I just bought and plan to play it. Or read it, however the case may be considered. But for all that I'm aware, this is the first time Steam has ever had something that can be considered or approaching a Visual Novel thus far. So if you've been dying for more anime, visual novels, or just Asian culture on Steam, this is another to add to your list of considerations.
And I certainly hope it also isn't one of the last visual novels to grace Steam.
