>>51722902

People don't like being told that they are wrong. They react better to curiosity and expressions of interest.

>>51723028
>A closet weeb kicking out a player that isn't a weeb, accusing them of being a weeb.
>Conductive to curiosity and expressions of interest.

>>51723028
Well, maybe sometimes you should also just call a cat "a cat".
A person who can't handle being told that he's wrong, also cannot deploy the basic human qualities needed to interact meaningfully with others. And as such, I also doubt that such a person could ever be a good GM. So in the end, it would have been a complete waste of time to play dumb with him, for the sake of not making any waves in interactions that are flawed from the start because of his own self-deceptions.

tldr : don't waste your time with morons when you have better things to do in your life.

Why?It's always hilarious to watch weeb dropping his spaghetti every time their super special waifu fails at semi-realistic situations.

>>51725627
To be honest, I don't really watch animu either. I just love slipping things under the radar and wait until I'm discovered.

Considering that "anime" is a medium, not a genre, and "tabletop game" is a medium, not a genre, OP has told us precisely nothing about his game and the proposed character.
I fail to imagine a character concept that could work in one medium but not the other, as long as it's the same genre and fits into the setting. Even something weird like Boku no Pico can theoretically be replicated in a tabletop game if you try, so the problem isn't "anime" but unfitting characters.
Prove me wrong.

>>51725658
Then I'm afraid your GM just assumes anything not in English (or his native language) is "animoo", and he has untreated impulse control.

>>51725658
That sounds like a Naruto's technique, go die in a fire.

>make a sorceror based on Lina Inverse
>people wonder why I have a givenofucksbutissortaheroic sorceror who's completely self serving

We literally coopted the entire game into a series of Slayers by the end of it without the DM knowing down to us bugging out together vs the Big Bad because he gibbed half the group instantly by pure blind luck and rerolls offered ended up in failures.

>>51725674
Strictly speaking, anime is neither a medium nor a genre; it is an industry or a scene. The term "anime" is is the sobriquet for Japanese animation. Anyone with anime literacy will be able to see that while it has conventions and patterns, it is not a genre, because not only does anime encompass a wide variety of fictional genres, no matter how many of those conventions it breaks, it will still be considered anime. Furthermore, it does not make sense to call anime a medium either: animation is the medium, and anime is simply Japanese animation. What other entertainment do we consider to be a different medium based on its nation of origin? Thus, it is most logical to describe anime as the the Japanese animation scene. In the same way that Hollywood is the American cinematographic scene, especially as it relates to corporate entertainment from studios on the West Coast as opposed to indie kino and film created elsewhere in the United States of America. Despite its conventions and formulae, Hollywood is not a genre, and it is certainly not a medium. Even more analogous from a western perspective would be Bollywood, as a specific foreign cinematographic scene with a number of specific, distinct qualities associated with it; in particular flamboyant, melodramatic romances with a Broadway*-inspired musical format.

*Ah, there's another one!

>>51722892
It's not the "other media" that was the problem, it was that it was anime, where practically all characters are dumb, archetypal, card-board cutouts.

You'd be hard pressed to find a character that had actual motivation and depth.

So, while we're on the subject of anime, what system would you even use for a campaign based on Slayers?

Old school D&D is too "fantasy Vietnam." Someone will suggest BESM but anime isn't a genre. 3.5 could do it but I don't enjoy 3.5 at all. 5e could do most of the player characters if you're willing to refluff a few things. Zelgadis' chimera form would be hard to manage, though.

I know comedy is primarily up to the players and GM, but a game intentionally conducive to silliness might be helpful, too. But it can't be totally stupid or the serious bits won't work.

I had the biggest crush on Amelia as a teenager.

>>51734979
Slayers and all those DQ-inspired anime are pretty much just Japanese D&D. It's pretty obvious it's the most fitting, if maybe not the most ideal, choice.

You would possibly need homebrew for stuff like Zelgadis or some of the Mazoku bullshit.

While you're not really wrong, I would argue that a scene that transcends multiple genres and employs such a wide variety of unique conventions is difficult to reduce to a "scene".
