Never have, never will if I can help it. I don't like the Japanese comics/animation aesthetic - and I'm not just talking about "big eyes, small mouth", but the whole tradition over there.Hell, I don't really like Western animation much either. I'm very picky.That said . . . I don't have any inherent problem with the stories and tropes you find in manga and anime. I have zero tolerance for goofy slapstick - like when the badass martial artist blushes around the girl he likes and trips over his own feet to land face-down in her lap - but a lot of the stories I hear about in anime or manga sound cool.The day they do a live-action version of a given anime is probably the day I'll sit down to watch it.I would have to say that, despite my complete and utter lack of interest in anime, I'm quite open to influences from good stories in my gaming. Sure, the terribly painful cliches are right out, but I don't want people playing Legolas or Luke Skywalker at my table either.</blockquote>
