In the end, this is just a thread about people making arguments about the influence of anime on D&D art. All Hussar's game is doing is forcing people to post images in this discussion, rather than make arbitrary statements about the "obviousness" of anime influence without any proof. It is just an average "anime influence" thread where people are actually posting D&D art and discussing it.I have been posting in this thread as much as anyone else, but I really don't care whether or not Hussar evers posts something in his sig, or whether some kind of conclusion is made or not. I'm here because it is fun to analyze images and discuss things in this kind of detail.Still, I wouldn't phrase this discussion as a "matter of taste". Whether or not someone likes anime influence or not is a matter of taste. I happen to like anime influenced art, and I would be happier if people could find anime-influenced images among D&D art. However, the question of whether or not something is anime-influenced or not is not subject to indivudual taste, it is merely a question of an actual property of the art itself, and can be arrived at through detailed analysis. The only subjective questions are the definition of "anime", and the extent of influence required to make the claim that there is a clear anime influence.Maybe I should start posting pieces of art I think are not anime influenced at all, and see if arguments could be made that they have anime influence, just to promote some more discussion.</blockquote>
