[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9303021, member: 6802378"] The points of view by a native about his own country, a compatriot living in another country and a foreigner living in the country could be radically different, and everybody may be right. Today the isekai is a very popular subgenre, but the brand D&D is totally forgotten. And Japanese would rather their own style, for example they are mainly focused into humans, and almost always the demihumans are "kemonomimi", humanoids with animal ears (usually feline). A lot of times the main demihumans are monster girls who are main character's girlfriends. And it is not a group like the standars of D&D but an overpowered main character and his harem. The anime doesn't always the true Japanese reality, for example the behavior of some characters is radically different to how a true Japanese would act. Some Japanese IPs could be adapted to D&D as 3PP settings, but they would need a complete reboot to can use the crunch elements (PC species and classes, for example). Why? To sell in the international market outside Japan. Some manga titles could survive enoughly thanks the good sales in the international market. * If you want to learn Japanese, the web Duolingo could be very useful. [/QUOTE]
