[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 3831179, member: 40961"] I'm willing to do that. I like anime, I like anime art. I'd be happy for it to influence D&D art. I'm all for a big tent art style. But what I hear a lot of from... lets just say certain people, and certain types of gamers, is a whining "D&D is so [I]anime[/I] now! I hate it!" These people invariably then point to something that isn't anime. This indicates to me that what's going on is a certain... its not nerd rage, its more nerd prejudice. There's a certain mean natured prejudice in calling everything you don't like "anime," and especially in then attempting to insinuate that anyone who likes the things you don't like is a munchkin 12 year old hooked on dragon ball z. I don't mind seeing people who say that sort of thing called out on the fact that they don't even know what anime art looks like, and are confusing long standing tropes of western fantasy art with art from Japan. This undercuts their position by revealing that what's really going on is just a knee jerk reaction against new things. [/QUOTE]
