Most "anime" superhero in American comics is Hal Jordan. Idiot hero who becomes the strongest through means of sheer willpower. Hal is the proto-typical shonen protagonist, much as how Lois Lane is the prototypical tsundere.

I know officially Drive and Golden Drive are inspired by KITT and KARR but I can't help drawing comparisons to Flash and Pr. Zoom, especially when they keep using ridiculous time travel plots for the movies

Well, yeah, Wally is a bit like shonen heroes.

Superman and Batman
>powerful but not "boring superman" powerful
Flash does have a really interesting set of superpowers, I'll give you that. Jay Garrick in the Golden Age was one of the first superheroes who just had ONE superpower (goes fast) as opposed to either holdovers from pulp detectives, or all-powerful god wizards.
>powers set that give artists lots of opportunities for dynamism
This right here is why I fucking love Flash comics, when done right, they utilize the medium like no other hero can.
>cool villains and a positive outlook in live unlike the grim-dark bunch
There are plenty of superheroes with positive outlooks. Flash isn't unique in that regard, although his character is particularly consistent with it.
But regardless, none of this is uniquely "anime". Anime series and other Japanese heroes run a large spectrum of tones, styles and aesthetics.

Yeah, was about to post this myself.
How can DC ever hope to compete?!
>>85187894
guy even has his own harem just like muh animus

It's always so easy to spot the plebs.

The similar color schemes, character archetypes, powers ,plot and timing didn't help either

Not to mention both Drive and the Flash TV show have their own goofy science sidekicks in the SCU and Star Labs. /krg/ flips out at any hint of /co/-related shit because of the number of trolls that use it as bait, but there really are a lot of parallels between the shows.
>>85181539
Huh. Explains why /co/ loves him so much.
>>85188181
What was he supposed to say? Eobard and Hunter both have those titles in the comics too
>>85181539
It's more toku than anime, not that it's a bad thing.
I am always pleasantly surprised by the amount of tokufags andrassling fagsin Flash talkback threads

Lmao!

Wait what, is that actually in there
