Anemic domain models are important for ORM and easy transfer over networks (the life-blood of all comercial applications) but OO is very important for encapsulation and simplifying the 'transactional/handling' parts of your code.
Therefore what is important is being able to identify and convert from one world to the other.
Name Anemic models something like AnemicUser, or UserDAO etc so developers know there is a better class to use, then have an appropriate constructor for the none Anemic class
User(AnemicUser au)
and adapter method to create the anemic class for transporting/persistence
User::ToAnemicUser()
Aim to use the none Anemic User everywhere outside of transport/persistence
