[QUOTE="Raspberry Milkshake, post: 9140069, member: 7043060"] re; animesque rpgs, recently I've been craving something in that action anime vein so I read through the Cubical 7 Warhammer Sigmar RPG and have been paging through a bunch of 4e books, which I know are both incredibly contentious properties but do a pretty good job at capturing that over the top battle anime feel without leaning on a tropey Asian setting. When I see "anime 5e" slung around I start wondering how much of it is going to be big Dragonball* type battles with special moves and absurd spectacle and how much is just the same old base standard 5e with an Asian coat of paint and some thrown on rules nobody ever really uses.
