what is the most unusual setting in an anime you've seen?

The only thing people know about 'middle ages America' are the Aztecs and Mayans, and not all that much is known of them anyway, what else would you base your setting on?
Besides, if you want America to be seen like it has more than only 4 centuries of 'culture', you better make sure it's not about two civilizations set in fucking Mexico.

Medieval Europe is widely liked, easily referenced, and is proven to be successful. Anything outside of that are niche interests, except for various periods of Japanese history which is obviously going to be common from Japan.

To make what OP said not absolutely retarded:
Why must the vast majority of fantasy series be set in Middle Ages Europe under a different name? There were ages before the Middle one, which had plenty of interesting things going on. Why are there so few fantasy works based around ancient civilisations such as Egypt, for example? There are plenty of non-European areas with rich histories and mythologies, like India, South America, Arabia, etc, so why are there so few fantasy worlds based upon them?

>>142027567
No.

And to be precise, there's not a whole lot of fantasy - let alone anime - based on the European middle ages. Typically fantasy authors go for the much more prolific Renaissance period. With good reason.

Also if I'm not mistaken there's at least 3 very popular anime/manga fantasy series based on the Islamic and pre Islamic Middle East airing right this fucking moment or in the last 6 or so months.

To be fair that happens with just any kind of media that approaches fantasy not only manga and anime.

In literature happens exactly the same, of course there is stuff if you look enough, but the usual is the LOTR style. In anime happens the same you have lot of medieval stuff but all that you say exists too like 12 kingdoms or Magi or Basara or Aion or Rokka or...that manga about Budha that mixes mythology and warfare that even got an anime adaptation.

About the "WHY", well, its simple, the same reason remakes and sequels from older things are constantly make: CONNECTION, if you give the people something they already know you fastly create a connection that makes more easy to sell them the product.

Mangaka don't seem to understand subtlety when it comes to certain genres like fantasy. Usually they find the most popular example in the West, i.e. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. and take them to extremes.

So looking at Berserk, it takes the pessimistic world of GOT and turns it into constant edge fights with demons haunting one specifiic guy.

Other times when it comes to fantasy, Mangaka go for the good old generic European fantasy story found in any JRPG or asian MMO. These stories have colourful worlds with races that all look super cute.

Magi and NGNL are guilty of this. Bright colours mixed with worlds that aren't very creative at all, races that are even less creative and history which is straight rip-offs.

Basically Mangaka are hacks and cannot respect the nature of fantasy storytelling, only becoming the 90% of shit that already exist in western fantasy series.

Of course not every fantasy novel is set in europe but in 99,99999% of the times fantasy is synonymous with european middle ages and has widely been accepted as such.

what went wrong?

>>142030949
No.
The real reason is Europ was a place that could be romanticized easily.
Women were considered to be human beings - even if they were not completely equal.
People had rights. And obligations.
They upheld their beliefs but not with complete fanaticism.
And you could always outgrow your birthrights.

It's likeable and easy to work with.

Now lets look at Mexicostan

>women are animals

Maybe not romance in the sense of the modern age, but even if a culture's highest form of respect were eating each other's hearts before they died of old age, it's the principle of the action: showing your mutual love as recognized by your society.

A spaniard said this about the aztec city

>When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (...) on account of the great towers and cues and buildings rising from the water, and all built of masonry. And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream? (...) I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.

You also have to bare in mind Europeans in that period liked to tell tall tales. Some of the spaniards wrote about fountains that could give you eternal youth. Are those real as well?

Where are all of those cities?

We find cities thousands of years old buried in Europe and they are still identifiable as such. Where are all the great Aztec cities? Southern America is pretty arid. If anything those cities would have survived much better.

There are some interesting surviving monuments but there's nothing that impressive in Southern America, Europe was building pic related in the same period.

At this point the fantasy genre has degenerated into regurgitating D&D campaigns. You can choose between 'bright' Tolkien-like fantasy or 'dark' Howard-like fantasy.

The Japanese are arguably doing better, because they just don't give a fuck and will copy JRPG plots, which provides a little bit of leeway.

I want a series that features a loli queen in a fantasy setting and her MC big brother. The twist is that the show is rather serious at times despite the fact that the characters (minus the MC) are over-the-top in their behaviors, mainly the loli queen.

No maybe you need to read one. At it's peak Spain had a grand total of GASP 40 ships going to the Americas yearly. Those ships were about as big as you would expect of the period so we're talking about 1000ish colonists dropping off in the Americas.

Come the fuck on.

The Southern Americans had a civilization. But if a 1000 people half of which women per year are enough to topple it, then we're not exactly talking about an overachieving culture here.

More amusing when the spaniards first came to "India" they had a grand total of 6 ships. Can you even imagine the laughable scale of things we're talking about here. 300 people conquered a fucking continent with a great advanced culture already present. Yeah right.

These questions are always silly. Why do people expect every medium to have a lot of every genre?

>>142027567
Because fantasy is pretty firmly entrenched in tropes from Tolkeins literature, which was based off of north european mythology. Trying to find parallels in other cultures is tricky at best, and could possibly leave out more interesting parts of the culture which don't have a european equivalent. For example i cant think of any equivalent to paladins in subsarahan africa and it would be pretty hard for many people to defferentiate druids and clerics in a plains indian fantasy setting.

maybe i was a little hasty in noming off Tolkein without talking about Gygax, who sure as hell helped mold the fantasy genre as it is today, but the fact is that both of them drew heavily upon european folklore, and as such it has permeated to this day. im also not saying there are no other cultural influences found in fantasy other than europe; the fantasy monk is clearly based off of shaolin monks, but its influence is small in comparison to the amount of european influence in the traditional fantasy genre.

Not him, but paladins as a class and paladins as twelve specific people are pretty different things.

>>142034529
But they had metal and metalworking.

Fantasy set in SubSaharan Africa would be pretty "easy," it's called research, you find what's "unique" to that culture and work with it. Thinking you need to find equivalents to components that exist in European fantasy is a losing game. I recommend some of you read "Nada the Lily," by H.Rider Haggard.

>>142034479
do you honestly think that paladins in the fantasy settings are the same as the ones found in history?

Serious question, do you have autism?

Back to your cuck shed, Sven.

needs more Hittites, Gathic Zoroastrians and Vedic Hindus 3bh
Mycenaean Greeks, Kingdom-era Romans, pagan Armenians, the Ostrogoths and Thessalonian Slavs are fine too

Unless you mean East Africa, that's going to be pretty fucking boring.

Not by that name. It was called Damascus steel.

>>142028103
This is right and no one commenting on it.

>>142034681
You could make something interesting out of Sundiata, I bet.

>>142034723
Did you read the thread? A few dozen people called OP retarded for that, we're over it now.

>>142029378
Because the middle ages were idealized by 19th century romantic writers as a reaction to the excesses of industrialization. They hold a unique fascination to the modern reader because of that.

Shows what you know. Look up Sundiata, Fakoli Karoma, Sakura, Queen Amsa, the Dahomey Amazons, the battle of kumbi saleh, or the battle at An Fao. I am not trying to do "We Wuz," but there's a lot to work with, all that's really required it some research.

>>142034712
But mythril wasn't that rare in most settings, while orichalcum was practically the fantasy equivalent on damascus considering how rare it was.

>>142034829

Niggaboos before it was cool?

And love how your pic makes African culture look even less appealing than it already is.

Because Europeans aren't cry babies like other cultures. Did you see the shit fit over JK Rowlings book because she based stuff off of Fist Nationer legends without paying them infinite dollarydoos?

And then get called every name under the sun for "cultural appropriation" by the very same people demanding 'diversity'.

That's fine, but to say that it would be a boring setting is flat out wrong.

The lack of technology is what makes it seem boring.

>>142035082
If you really need technology to be interested, then add it. I don't understand why you seem to think you need to be realistic about this.

>>142034592
If that is the case, then i have to ask the question, what are the components that makes a fantasy story, and what sets it apart from a modern folk story?

Nigga, we don't even have medieval fantasy now because most writers don't have a good grasp of the scope of "the Middle Ages". They weren't some homogeneous moment in time that somehow lasted a thousand years and covered all of Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. 15th century France is different from 8th Century Constantinople.

>>142032407
We have several golden centuries. Like a couple for each country. Most of the time those countries were bashing each other and with Rome/Byzantine empire.

>>142035221
You still can't deny that Slavs are world champions when it comes to ethnic strife and conflicts on the same level as Mudslimes.
