I'm not an anime hater per se so I think I'll be fine with the presentation as long is there is some meat in there. But I'm not sure what "seif koma" means, I'm really not familiar with the core of the game.

I just heard it was a fun multiplayer fighting game on par with Super Smash Brothers, if I have to go through a ton of story/translation in order to get to the game, I may pass.
