We found 3-6 or so images with anime influence, with 3 of those all being from the same artist, out of how many unconvincing pieces of art? The lack of examples is what speaks for itself.If Hussar does call the contest, I am just going to start my own thread, and approach this whole thing from a perspective which is nowhere near as a favorable to the pro-anime influence perspective, because, face-it, just finding three examples of something amidst the huge amount of 3E D&D art is pretty easy to do, as far as contests like this go. Anything easier to find would be over in a matter of hours.So, basically, no one has convinced me in the slightest that there is a huge anime influence on D&D. Admitably, I didn't realize there was any anime influence on D&D, and learned there was in this thread. I am glad. I hope there is a lot more in the future. I also learned that a lot of people making the claim don't seem to have a clear idea of what anime art is actually like.At this rate, I forsee this debate lasting until 4E is released. Maybe until 5E is released, and all western art is completley subsumed under the anime style. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
