And besides, the origins of Anime style has nothing to do with 3D or Poser. Correct me if I'm wrong but it is a style of Japanese 2D cartoons dating back to the old Speed Racer and Starblazers cartoons. So these new Anime type characters coming out for 3D are just trying to emulate that style, which by the way is still going very strong with a whole bunch of current movies and tv shows. So think of it as not a step backwards, but just another type of character for 3D, like fairies, hulks, monsters,etc.
