Believe me I am the first to jump into the D&D band wagon. Swords and sorcery and fantasy can be incredibly fun. But even magic has to have it's limits and bounderies. Even it(and I know this may sound strange) has to make sense. There can't simply be shit happening "because magic" That only goes so far, and if done properly not necessary. if magic is explained in a cool way with reasonable weakness and strengths even if magic is this great and powerful force that only a few can command. There needs to be a sense of balance. I love deamons, I love sorcery, I love angels and heavens and a vast plethora of gods and goddesses and anything inbetween. But if it is there simply 'because' than it adds nothing. It has to have reason and background, Even a god needs bounderies but that being said our characters shouldn't just be able to walk u and bitch-slap them whenever they feel like it.It's also a lot of little things. Like omnipotent teenage characters. There are no words to express how much I loathe these. Now admittedly any style of story telling can have these teenagers who conquer everything because everyone else but them seems to be retarded and not born from the womb of some demigod. But anime style games and stories, you all have to admit can take this to brutal extremes. Other things like Wielding weapons larger than they themselves are. Can a 100lbs girl who's 5'1" really carry around a 20mm hand cannon without completely severing her shoulder when firing it? Or a 15lb battleaxe with a 4' long handle and a blade nearly as broad as her arm is long? it's safe to say, probably not. For that matter can anyone? Mouths as large a peoples faces when open, Fuck nearly everything that exists in anime can piss me off to some degree. I just don't like it. Now I may get some flame or hatred for that but oh well. I'm sorry and I hope sincerely you continue to enjoy yourself watching and playing anime games. But I will still sleep well at night with my decision. I don't want dragon born characters in just any setting, and anthropomorphic dog people running around. I can't take it seriously. Well not usually. If a cool realistic explanation and justification can be given for a animalistic race then I am all ears. But If I see any cartoon shit then i'm sorry but that is almost always my queue to leave.
Well if we want to go on the judgemental and incredibly generalising style of approach sure that fits quite well. But then again such ignorance and arrogant generalisation can apply to any style like Sci-fi or fantasy of any kind. Every person to their taste. Just show some sign of respect and knowledge. Not the bias only an ignorant buffoon would throw around about things he/she seemingly knows nothing about. It's bad manner and lowers the respect others would show them like how i just lost some respect for you, after this little childish rant of yours.
Not to say i don't agree with what you have said i do love proper sci-fi my self. And anime can be infuriating in some aspects but then again so can most shows/games of any kind if you take the time to look into them. Though i tend to watch the darker and more sci-fi hardcore animes when i can find them. Just that i tend to avoid stepping down on the Comedy genre. Since it's not so much about realism as it is about making things "FUN"
Having said that. I am interested in joining this RP
