Isn't anime that style of animation where everything is out of proportion, especially eyes?
Never got into it, sorry.

D&D I think does a great job of representing Anime, of course it does come down to the DM and how he puts forth the anime type world and NPC's.

In fantasy anime, nearly all characters can do crazy, ballz-out, stuff -- it's more about flash and fury than counting paces on the battlefield or managing material resources. D&D can do Anime, I just don't think it does it well. There are much better systems for it (e.g., BESM, OVA, etc).

Other than throwing axes and elf jumping, they can't do anything you couldn't do in 2e.

jdrakeh said:Well, that's not entirely true (I think that the magic of Lodoss War is very much not AD&D's magic).
Not even. Get BESM d20.Scott_Holst said:Are you wacked in the head?
