First he said where is the link, then he said what is like anime/video games.So not very clear wording there.I guess it is just all the anime/mmo hate lately that really has no basis.Still, when anime and video games are based on other things, it is pretty unfair to peg them as the "cause of the problem".So when someone says such and such came from video games when it in fact game from d&d, I think to myself, "So you always hated d&d?" It's like they pretend it hasn't been in d&d all along.The anime side isn't my forte. I watch some and enjoy it, but I don't think of it as all one thing. It would be like saying all oil paintings are the same thing. They use the same methods and tools, but they can produce very different results. So when people say anime that is too vague a term to really be saying anything. It is an art style and nothing more. Not all animes have flashy names and big swords and high packed action(though alot do).So I guess this is really two different issues. The video game bashing is bad because they are based on d&d and the anime bashing is bad because it is always used incorrectly.Basically I want to see what the real influences of anime(likely slim to none) and video games are on d&d and not all of the false conclusions.</blockquote>
