Video games use animations as easy to project information to a player. If your character is “stunned” and can’t move, the animation should play for the duration of the status effect.

Sure. But that’s an inherent feature of the animation. In this case the “never” rule doesn’t apply. If animations are a side effect, you want to treat them as such.

But should any buttons pressed during that time be queued? Command queueing and cancellation is an important part of game design.
