[@Shoryu Magami] Gunna have to give darker than black a peak. I like fantasy and sci-fi equally, but anime feels over saturated with fantasy stuff. For the sake of this topic, it seems like it would be easier to be original with sci-fi. [@NekoMizu] For me, Goku is the very definition of a japanese hero. I think an eastern hero's willingness to work with others, be at piece with oneself, and use spiritual powers are at odds with their western counterparts. western heroes are often loners with dark, dark secrets. Their powers often come from gadgetry, or some terrible accident. Batman prefers to work alone, and his superpower is money. Iron man prefers to work alone, and his super power is money. Hulk prefers to work alone, and his superpower is rage. Wonderwoman prefers to work alone, and has magical amazon stuff. There are exceptions, like how ghost rider got his powers magically from Mephisto (or was that spawn?). But he is a loner and he has a very, very dark past. Batman also teams up with robin, but you can tell he doesn't really like it. Of course when i'm asking for a western hero drawn by japanese people, I'm not asking for the artists to strip away everything that makes anime what it is. But like... how would bat man play out if he was an anime? Would he narrate all of his attacks? Maybe he'd have an entire orphanage filled with sidekicks to back up his operation? Maybe Alfred would be replaced, or at least accompanied, by a french maid? Would Bruce Wayne's childhood trauma maybe not harden him like stone, but make him soft and fearful of losing anyone ever again? That's what I'm looking for. A western hero accented by eastern touches.
