Or how about a national identity. We're so desperate that people latched onto a fucking fast food chain.

Don't worry, you guys are importing so many chinamen and refugees you'll have a culture eventually

>>159584450
Don't you have any history?

Is there nothing taught?

>>159585541
I remember grades 5-10 being nothing but minutiae about the fur trade, and a big list of who discovered what. We'd "learn" about pemmican every year. They managed to foster a powerful apathy towards our history, at least among my age cohort.

>>159583324
Not being the 51st state?

>>159585541
We learned a bit about the Great Century, the events that led to the anglos settling in and how Canada stopped being a colony. All that in a year and a half.
The rest of the time was spent learning about the natives.

>>159585541
Canada doesn't even have a history AS Canada until 1931.

>>159586906
Actually, as an appendum, Iranian mythology would basically be Persian, so then you have all of zoroastrianism to work with, which would be cool.

>>159586961
There aren't wendigos in England, anon.

>>159587042
Well, duh. Wendigos are not real.

>>159586893
Marvel's Wendigos aren't wolf men. Like in the myths, they're spirits that possess humans that commit cannibalism and turn them into giant murderous white monsters.

In what anime does Simo appear?

tfw no william tell servant ;_;

altough I dont know if a story written by some german author can be considered a myth

In literally every goddamn fantasy product they make. It's extremely tiresome.

Probably? But trolls and like are not exclusively norwegian so maybe not.

>>159587088

It's not a myth, but Jeanne d'Arc's story has been toyed with a lot in anime. Two currently airing shows actually have a Jeanne d'Arc in their cast.

Portugal is eternally safe from ever being defiled in anything thanks to Spain forming a natural cultural shield around us.
Or glorified, for that same matter.
Or acknowledged.

Yes. Claoimh Solais was a sword, the word claoimh means sword. Didn't really bother me though, felt nicer to have some of our actual mythology referenced instead of "lol leprechauns" and Halloween.

White South African here. There's a lot of great history to African folktales and myth. The issue is that it was never mass distributed like European folklore and myth. That shit has gone to every corner of the Earth. It's why whenever there's a non-Japanese setting it's pretty much always European.

It's not that African myth isn't really interesting, it's just that it was never distributed on a mass scale.

I just can't imagine African fantssy settings reaching the grandiose nature of European settings. I say this even having read "Nada the lily, " a historic fantasy set in South Africa during reign of Shaka Zulu.

Sword of Light, to be precise, one of many Irish swords of legendary repute.

I don't think Japan really defiles our myths, they just endearingly over-exaggerate stereotypes about us. I'd love to live in the America that anime portrays, where the women are all blondes with huge tits, where everyone is always annoyingly loud and cheerful, where cheeseburgers fall from the sky like rain...

>inb4 just move to Nebraska

>>159595188
We have Paul Bunyan now as a semi but not very official Servant. I really hope John Henry makes it because he's definitely more worthy of the status than some of the picks Grand Order has gone with.

>>159595534
I meant I was bothered by how in the show it was a wand not a sword. A bit annoyed how it could turn into an axe, a broom and a bow but not a sword. Missed opportunity desu.

>>159595599
>where everyone is always annoyingly loud and cheerful
That's not America?

>>159583294
Not to my knowledge, but they have bastardized our history horribly so that's something. Murican here.

>>159594185
Depends. They may had ancient insight that may have been overlooked by today's researchers. Everything from complex algorithm to secrets of human body

We've lost so much of the ancient knowledge (due to burning of the great library of alexandria to the sackings of baghdad) that civilization was held back at least 50 years.

>>159595188

>>159596017
Even if they don't have much to add in the way of science, people from thousands of years ago did have much different viewpoints and could offer a lot in the way of culture.
Plus people back then were a lot more attuned to their local areas. ie; there was an Egyptian architect in the 50's that realised modern Egyptian houses are shit because they're all based on western homes which were made for a much colder European climate, so he used ancient Egyptian homes as a model and vastly improved the living standards of the average Egyptian house.

>>159595801
They're annoyingly loud alright but they're all either unhappy or drugged out on opioids so they can't not be happy.

>>159583324
A lot of people are saying there aren't Canadian myths; I would propose Viking settlements on Newfoundland.
While not "myth" we know little about them, how long the people lived there are what these first European proto-Canadians were like. A mythic interpretation or character based on the leader of these people could be interesting, and maybe be considered a distinctly European Canadian myth.
This doesn't really relate to anime, but there could be like an Rider Eric the Red servant in fate or whatever
also the nips love anne of green gables but those adaptations are good so I wouldn't call that story defiled.
