[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5435790, member: 6667746"] You pick an anime and make a game out of it. Not all anime is about the fantastic or supernatural. Some are simply daily modern life. Many anime and manga directed towards the younger female audience is about life issues and relationships. Not really sure how you would turn that into an RPG, but it is a part of anime. The majority of anime people would make an RPG out of always has a dues ex machina or 20 to get the plot to carry through. Pretty much Elan from OOTS, would be the best thing to base an anime RPG around, since he combines pretty much most of the components of dramatic, action, humor, emotions, etc. So there is no way to make an all encompassing RPG based on "anime", as anime is just the Japanese equivalent for the word animation. Which would just simply mean cartoon, for everyone speaking an English language. Also anime covers all sorts of style in artwork, again which isnt really represented in a rulebook so much as it is in the mind for an RPG. Which brings it back to find a Japanese animation title, and build your RPG around that for it to be anime, otherwise you just have another in a list of strange fantastical powered RPGs that might as well just be an expansion for a Marvel or DC based RPG. Oddly enough Record of Lodoss War is said to be a good representation of D&D, so if you think about it, an anime RPG already exists. [/QUOTE]
