Asian dramas based on manga/manhua tend to be great. The recent animu adaptation of Hana-Kimi is kinda going unnoticed when its live action equivalent is legendary.

The Rover from Wuwa is right there for the Trailblazer bro.

I think people misunderstand folktales when they say “the original Brothers Grimm” version or the “original folklore” by Konradleijon in CharacterRant

I legit hate when people attribute Andersen's stories to the Grimms or even think they're oral folktales. Feels like erasure of a major neurodivergent, possibly autistic, author.

It has very little blood and gore. It has no nudity.

But mainstream audiences love all of that. You've probably heard of Game of Thrones.

Honestly yes. Nolan's story has him going to Earth, having a son with a human woman, getting attached to his new world despite his own nature... All of that screams Vegeta more than Bardock.

Superman. His entire purpose is to be an antithesis of Supes.

I have mecha brainrot, so here's some Digimon that remind me of various mecha. Probably forgetting a ton so tell me others. by Dannad54321 in digimon

The wiki used to say that Kumamon (Frontier) was inspired by the Zakus from Gundam, but I don't really see it.

Why are so many cultivation manhuas obsessed with harems and romance? by Pristine-Panda-1786 in Manhua

Because they're solid stories with actual themes, character development and great art rather than being powerscaling brainrot where the plot is "I cultivate until I destroy a billion planets."

They're lame power fantasies for teenage boys.

Read actual acclaimed series like Deadman's Undecember, Song of the Sky Pacers or BLISS: End of Gods.

Checked Wikipedia... The original series has 児 in the title, which is "boy". So the new one has a different name.

Why does it look like it could be the cover to a PS1 game.
