Better.

It'd be fresher without the dimorphism.

This. I like animu and mangos as much as the next guy but japan's contribution to western style fantasy races, cultures, creatures, settings, etc. are universally trash.

Cygames a shit
Shadowverse a shit
Granshit a shit

why is japanese fantasy so shit fellas?

I love Draphs. Much better than standard dwarfs and make many times more sense.

I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps it's that our cultures find different things cool and the lameness is highlighted when placed in an otherwise familiar setting. Perhaps it's because 90% of western style fantasy is isekai and 99.9% of isekai is created by talentless hacks. Perhaps the japs just have shit taste.

Because average western fantasy is not retarded trash just as bad as isekai right?

GBF is a much better setting than any D&D official setting.

It is not. Those YA medias with mary sue chosen ones are though. Like hunger games and such.

>Attacking Hanwasabi instead of cutting your losses and trying to run the fuck away

Don't know why he bothered. She's only worth 1 xp and 2 gold.

>It is not

Yes it absolutely is.

factually incorrect

Because anime is so hyperfocused on otaku culture and moe for the last two decades that the very notion of fantasy not based on sweet tits and JRPG power fantasies is a rarity. Most fantasy is isekai that can't stand to have anything that's uncool to a 13 year old boy.

No. It really is. Have you looked at a random lineup of fantasy novels lately? The median fantasy novel is fucking garbage.

You could never give examples. Average D&D novel is worse than average isekai. Not even mentioning garbage like Age of Sigmar books. There is so much trash fantasy produced in the west nips could never compete.

Now you're being just plain facetious

Now you are just trolling. Provide examples that are not 10+ years old.

The more recent Wheel of time books, Brandon Sanderson's various series.

So few books. Out of thousands.

Now name a single good isekai to come out of Japanese media in the last two decades.

That's just off the top of my head. There's around twenty books, so how about you name 5 isekai that's equal or better, or hell, just not about blatant teenage wish fulfillment devoid of more than the most basic of plots.

Now and Then, Here and There

They're the only ones who still care about lizard dudes so you can go fuck yourself user.

Why is this suddenly about isekai only? Isekai is a shit genre with few okay series appearing from time to time. There is much more to japanese fantasy than isekai.

Because it's a half understood cultural appropriations, same way Americans suck ass at any attempt at animesque shit.

Cept bloodborne

These shits need more doujins, i am tired of boat sluts and servants.

Wheel of time is what I think of when I trying to find examples of what western fantasy series is worse than of hentai games like Fate. Literally more shoehorned fetishes, worse characters, more stereotypical plot and even worse case of filler.

Brandon Sanderson is basically on the level of the mediocre isekai novels with the generic cast and plots but elaborate magic systems. 12 Kingdoms is still better than anything his written (I had high hopes for stormlight, those died with book 2)

That's true.

Personally I think most fantasy ends up being shit because it's a copy of something else, which is usually a copy of something else, etc etc until you get to JRR Tolkien (who was copying traditional myths).
It's like running a single document through a copier over and over again until your left with a shitty unreadable mess.

One game did more with halflings than entire western fantasy put together.

In nip fantasy character's race is just a small part of their personality. In the west your race shapes your entire character. Every dwarf is the same, every wood elf is the same.

>Because average western fantasy is not retarded trash just as bad as isekai right?
is the progenator of that argument chain. There isn't a whole lot of western style fantasy that isn't isekai. Feel free to post some however, I'm always looking for new stuff to read/watch

This. 99% of jap media that makes it to the west is the Japanese equivalent to the avengers; an industry that has, for generations, been analysing exactly how to appeal to 14 year olds as much as humanly possible. There's still plenty of great Japanese fantasy, like Berserk and Mushishi, but it's drowned in the tide of light novel adaptations along the lines of "I can't believe my step sister is a werewolf with giant tits!"

Harvins are capable of getting old or looking somewhat adult, though.

I can't think of anything else I regret having wasted so much time on

But I see you haven't learned your lesson yet so why don't you strip and take the customary study pose while I get the switches

Western fantasy takes itself so seriously it bores me to tears. Give me the Japanese stuff any day.

I don't really think it's meant to be sexually appealing as the spanking isn't described so much as faded to black. Although now that you mention it there was a lot of female on female flogging.

haha are you serious? You've never read the Isam summaries or anything?

for what purpose?

Isekai fad is already ending in anime. Plenty of non isekai fantasy stuff was already announced this year.

and that's a good thing

ever watch an abridged series? it's like that

Thank fucking God.

I don't agree with this sentiment at large, but with regards to the halflings I agree. Them being 3-foot tall but otherwise completely proportionate humans is just unpleasant. Tolkien, to begin with, describes them as less stocky dwarves, not "humans except just smaller." Nor does it serve any purpose; making them humans just literally smaller makes them even more one-note than elves and dwarves, and doesn't in any way dissociate them from gnomes (who are also a tiny proportionally human race except bug-eyed fey horrors in 3e-4e). Outside of having a giant fetish (and sprites/pixies exist for that) I can see no fetish that proportional halflings satisfy either.
Now I'm not saying that forever loli halflings are the right answer either, but at they're not "humans but smaller" in the absolute most literal sense. Thankfully, 5th Edition DnD is finally moving back towards stocky little people rather than honey I shrunk the humans.

I'm not thrilled at Gnomes either but I can at least understand them given that they have a deeper mythological root. Even so, I kind of wished they were just garden-gnome type tiny old people.

>There is so much trash fantasy produced in the west nips could never compete.

Depending on how you define "the West", you're looking at near to 750 million people, user.

So, yeah, you're right. 127 million or so people can't produce as much trash as about 750 million people. Have a cookie.

For the record, I defined "The West" as Australia, the United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and every European country west of Germany, Austria, and Italy, inclusive, although I admit that I didn't include fecky countries like San Marino or The Vatican. Luxembourg was as small as I went. Ended up with 749,046,410 people.

Properly speaking by most definitions I should have included all of Latin America as well, but somehow I get the feeling that you're not the sort of person who considers Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America to be part of the Western World.

Arguably Israel, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan should also be counted.

Agreed, I always liked japanese silly and/or cute fantasy creature depictions. Sadly everything is turning into lolis or sexy monstergirls and It's getting oversaturated

Granblue meme, don't worry about it.

They're called Draphs and are a flavor of the token almost-fully-human Beastmen that Japan loves so much, as a race they're not grumpy and aren't obsessed with honor, beer, or grudges. They have children in litters.

The only thing they have in common with dwarves is liking guns but so do fucking Warcraft Tauren who also have horns

Porcs are far superior to green human orcs.

I love Draph but Magisa is still breast in show for me, mostly because of that spicy doujin starring her.
