That's a funny thing - I'm no fan of more modern animes, but Lodoss War s something I really like. I think that Japanese animation nowadays is sometimes a bit... "typecast". After their success, a lot of animation tried to keep the same stylistic and story conventions, which forms that "anime style" nowadays.It's anime, so the answer has to be no.

Thanee
It's a bit harder to find off-beat animes nowadays (though Studio Ghibli usually does a good job it retaining their own style), as the big ones aimed at adolescents tend to dominate so much (even more in TV... I swear, German television only shows these - but then, back then, the Heidi cartoon in ARD was also Japanese animation).
