Message: <blockquote data-quote="Count_Zero" data-source="post: 8026889" data-attributes="member: 40164">(Emphasis mine)You keep using that word - I don't think it means what you think it means. Particularly since there is an extremely long tradition of western-inspired fantasy in Anime, whether we're talking stuff like Lodoss and Slayers in the 90s, or a lot of modern Isekai like Sword Art Online, Konosuba, or Re:Zero.Plus, you're also conflating Japanese historical fantasy (like Inuyasha) with the wuxia genre of martial arts cinema (like Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Come Drink With Me, and The Sorcerer and the White Snake), which come from different countries - and the people who are fans of those works will know that.Also, an "OA" inspired game isn't going to cover characters based on everyone's "favorite shonen or shojo titles", because for example a bunch of those titles that are popular right now are Idol anime - about modern-day high schoolers who want to be pop idols. That doesn't fit with the OA concept. That fits more with something like the new edition of Big Eyes Small Mouth (or Fate). Or there's My Hero Academia, which is a superhero anime set in a not-to-distant future, and would fit perfectly with Mutants & Masterminds.With your comments about "otaku", though this may not be your intent, you are coming across like that guy referring to The Tale of Princess Kaguya and The Story of Kells as "Chinese cartoons" when they were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.</blockquote>
