What systems OP?
I am a massive fucking weeb, and I'd like to play some DEMON HUNTER SCHOOL shit with classes like Ninja, Witch, Shinigami, Pirate, Weapon Maister (and Weapon), Super Sentai, etc.
But all I can see is some PbtA shit or retarded D&D look-alikes with library of powers and loose idea on how to roll dice, sometimes, even buckets of dice.
This is retarded grifting. Having an anime girl on the cover doesn't make something anime. Slapping "anime-inspired appendix" on something doesn't make it shounen. I need it to be fast, snappy, I need it to support tropes, to make battles feel like I am watching a shounen. Maybe with several bars like "stamina", "morale", "LIMITE BREAK" so the battle goes in a couple of "dimensions". Maybe classes need to be split in pairs like one player playing meister and the other his weapon, one player playing Pokémon-trainer, and the other playing his stance/persona, one player playing Witch and the other her inner DEMON FOX.

And what I get is the usual motherfucking TTRPG grifting from people who have no idea how game design work. Fuck all this world, fuck it to no end. This hobby need an influx of people who know what are they doing. The easiest way to get a normal anime”-inspired system is to DIY.

How come there’s so many people that want to play “anime”-inspired games and that there are so many new “anime”-inspired systems made to cater to that…
