Over on this thread, multiple posters expressed their confusion about "4e has Video Game/Anime influences"; they can't find them.
And I and another poster have been trying to argue over the valid links of Videogames and Anime to 4e.
So, I ask more directly: where's the beef? Point to something that has been expressed in the 4e previews, say, "This is like video games/anime", and explain your example as to how it is like a videogame or anime.
Rules:
1) Give explicit examples, and back it up with an explanation or argument as to why or why it is not. No blanket statements, no groundless interjections. This is an academic discussion here.
2) Keep it civil. Look, I don't want to start a fight. I honestly want to try and A) Provide some answers as to "Where is the influences that people keep talking about?" and B) Possibly dispel some of those feelings with the stuff from R&C and the previews we've seen.
3) Let's try and avoid judgement calls about "Is this rule good or bad" or "Is this good or bad for D&D". This thread is specifically supposed to be about what rules or fluff is tied to video games or anime, not the worth of those ideas.
