I know people who picked up a Dungeon magazine thinking it was a Yu-gi-oh book.  That is just wrong.Anyway, the fantasy world of D&D can share the world with good artist, but not animie artist, even if that animie is good.  If you want to look at it as just my opinion, fine, go ahead, but I am not alone in this thought, just my supporters are less vocal than you and the others who are posting aginst this line of thought.</blockquote>
