I'm like the opposite: I dislike most anime and manga, but to me D&D is exactly this: the tabletop version of Final Fantasy/Dragonquest/Shin Megami Tensei!Not really my style of D&D art, but it fits the market.
FYI, I really like anime, manga, etc., but not really the style I like for D&D.
If you want to sell a product to different audiences, having slight variations on the art to actually target that audience makes a lot of sense. It will be interesting to see if they do more changes to things other than just art in the future, having some of the fluff get away from the psuedo-European could be a good thing.
I'm not so sure--Japanese consumers have no shortage of stories about ninja and samurai!If you want to sell a product to different audiences, having slight variations on the art to actually target that audience makes a lot of sense.

Yep. This was the D&D version from the 90sYeah even back to when D&D was first released over there they used manga style art.
