It's the kind of visual -- along with the story the art is interpreting -- that affects us ... individually.There was a time when you could read a book and then create the movie in your mind, and that movie is your own "adaptation." Others who would read the same book have their own "adaptation." And that the author of the book is not too concerned how his reading audience "adapt" his literary work. Nowadays, literary authors want readers to see what the author sees with no deviation from the details. Fans of said authors want to make sure no other fans deviate as well. And so we have Purists.As for RPGs, they also undergo evolutions to adapt to the taste and appeal of the current generation of gamers, as the older generation have either lost interest or ... succumbed to old age. As more of the older generation number decreases, not many of the new generation would game with them, unless you're as popular as Gygax or Arneson or have familial relations. The gap is not limited to gaming but in real life.As for anime, it's been around a lot longer, even for us old-school gamers. It just so happens to be popularized in the mainstream as recent as five years ago.</blockquote>
