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 boundaries. 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 boundaries 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 at least you're sincere about it. I thank you for giving me an explanation of what you mean. While I love anime personally, ...I don't entirely disagree with these opinions myself. Still, I tend to keep an open mind when it comes to anime and the qualities of it. As I believe I also told OrangeInk via PM, My mind sees things in anime style more often then not nowadays. Based on what's said by OrangeInk here, I suppose a lot of people see the same.

I'll be blunt and say this, I agree 100% with ollum, I've been on RPG since the beginning and RP used to be amazing and realistic, however it has now been taken over by anime fans and almost every RP is now anime-esque, anime characters should only be used for a fandom RP that is based in a anime universe, in my opinion anime ruins good RP's because I honestly just can't take the concept seriously. All I can say is that if you really want a true, hardcore sci fi RP like the ones I used to make, drop the anime. Just my opinion.

And Academy RPs among other...contagious genres of which I won't name for respect reasons, and among other things. ...Of course since Academy is mostly an anime genre of RPs, I think that just proves your point. Now if by Drop the anime, you mean the style. Sure I can do that. If you mean drop the anime images, forcing everyone to not use them, ...I'm sorry, but that I can't do. I've already stated I'm not picky with images' art styles, and I don't intend to be.

Ok, if the thing you are annoyed at is the illogical and downright stupid stuff that some RPs have... I don't see your problem with this one.If there comes something you want an explanation of, I am sure the Jest will be happy to tell you how and why it is that way.

And if I can't, I will have my scientist *Coughwindpipecough* or one of you two suggest how and why it is that way.

I'll be making the OOC soon enough. So unless my freedom of appearance is a bother, (I'll understand if it is.) what say we wait until it's done, take a look, and make your final judgment call then?
