[QUOTE="Kishin, post: 4598074, member: 40956"] You can run the whole thing out of the corebook. Anima's bestiary isn't published in Spaiin yet, let alone America, but the monster creation rules in the back of the book are very comprehensive, and are nearly identical to building a PC (Save you can also spend points on purchasing abilities). There are spreadsheets that do a lot of the heavy math lifting on the Anima forum already, and though they dont' include monster abilities as of yet, they can take care of all the other aspects. It would excel at mimicking both Naruto and Bleach for those people interested in the current fighting anime de'jour. The default setting of Anima, however, is a fantasy world with renaissance level technology (with smatterings of ancient technology/science left behind by empires long past). It has a vibe very similar to Final Fantasy 6 minus the steampunk. The take on nonhuman races is very interesting. Essentially, most 'supernatural' humanoids have been witch hunted into near extinction, and dwell now hidden from the eyes of the world. However, their souls have begun to reincarnate in human bodies, and these 'Nephilim', humans who possess the soul of another race (and as a result, some of its abilities) make up the playable nonhuman races of the world.
