[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5435914, member: 6667746"] Fairly easy, given that, many anime could fall in the realm of Monty Python, and DO! If you play out the anime it is really no different for many series that a giant Monty Python skit. As mentioned before the "tropes" would have oversized breasts on a mecha bishojo in a sailor suit, with a partner who is the loner that acts like they are from the bad side of the tracks and a gang leader, but who is very emotionally scarred and sensitive, both of which have magic powers each with animal form the Chinese zodiac, fighting Illpalazo type of BBEGs. The point is there is no real one trope, that stylizes and covers all of anime as it simply is ALL cartoons of a China/Japan/Korea/etc origin. Things that fit anime tropes then would be Transformers, GI Joe, Sin City, Leon (the professional), Plastic Man, Wonder Women, TMNT, Hillstreet Blues, Robocop, Teletubbies, etc. I can go on for days and match an anime to each of those shows or a trope that could be assigned to them. But what I am saying is, there isn't much style outside of anything else done, such as Rifts, as the artwork. The stories really cross cultures very easily, and can be styled very easily back and forth. Without the art styling, you have VERY little that makes "anime" different than any other animated program. Name something that you think is anime only, and I can come up with literature or film/TV versions of any of them from the western world. Be sure to include what you think makes the program anime-only that you name. Includes supernatural, which makes for an EASY RPG translation. Sounds cute, but not really my cup of tea for an RPG.
