In regards to not caring about anime characters in your previous response. Does that lack of interest extend into everything with that atheistic? Video games like Honkai Star rail or the recent fire emblem games just for example.

Yes.

Beyond just a general disinterest, there is also the very real issue that Source Filmmaker simply cannot do the aesthetic justice. The engine simply doesn't have the capacity to render cel-shaded aesthetics nearly as well as, say, Guilty Gear can. As a consequence, anime-aesthetic models tend to just look... not-good in Source.

The engine is much better suited to more grounded aesthetics. I'd say that games like Bioshock Infinite are right at the limit of how stylized you can get before Source's supported shaders start to break down.
