This is not a problem with anime, this is a problem with fantasy.

If you'd know about real life history, you'd know why fantasy shows/books/whatever do this. The reason is very very simple. Think about it, you faggot.

>middle ages America
Have you ever taken a history class?

>middle ages America
The fuck am I reading

>hurrdurr America didn't exist until some spic accidentally sailed to it and it suddenly existed, culture, natives and all.

Blame Tolkien

>middle ages America

Make it happen.

Let's all bash America, now, it's the cool thing to do!

Honestly a fantasy setting in the middle east, not europe, would be a lot more interesting;

>Constantinople
>Alexandria
>Baghdad
>Invading hordes/crusaders
>Futuwwa and Sufi orders
>Delicious brown women

>middle ages America

>I literally never had a history lesson

>Like middle ages America?
Retard
Middle ages is a term for europe between 5th and 15th centuries
There is no "middle ages america" any more than there is a "pre-columbian europe".

OP mad af

>middle ages America

KEK

There are no dragons in america. All fantasy runs on some dragon type lore. It would never work.

>middle ages America

Do you mean an anime set in America during the Middle Ages?

I'm down for an Aztec anime desu senpai

No it fucking does not.

What were burgers like in the 12th century?
Sacrificing virgins and goats to ugly gods?

How is it any different now?

There is the feathered serpent. I mean Bahamut was a fish, they can upgrade that.

Dragons are the cornerstone of fantasy though

wizard of earthsea might be up your alley, its a book not a show though.

Like swords, magic and orcs are.
But they're not in EVERY fantasy.
Besides swords.

Well yeah;

Weapons + Mystical Enemy = Fantasy


But fantasy, modern high fantasy as set by JRRT has dragons, and is a precedent setter

Where the fuck is my medieval African anime, and my Civil War era Swiss anime

Right after the Napoleonic China anime and the Bakumatsu era Egypt anime.

>Fantasy setting
>must be set in dinosaur invaded world by the future and saved by native americans
what is the most unusual setting in an anime you've seen?

The only thing people know about 'middle ages America' are the Aztecs and Mayans, and not all that much is known of them anyway, what else would you base your setting on?
Besides, if you want America to be seen like it has more than only 4 centuries of 'culture', you better make sure it's not about two civilizations set in fucking Mexico.

Exists with Aztec Batman aka strongest man in the world but got horrible sales

Woah, calm your tits. You do realize that middle ages America would have been boring as shit. Native American culture is a snore fest until baka shiro gaijintachi okeari all up in dem teepees with dai ginga pox chan de gozaru.

>tfw no good bronze age manga or anime

It's called, Rokka no Yuusha

Medieval Europe is widely liked, easily referenced, and is proven to be successful. Anything outside of that are niche interests, except for various periods of Japanese history which is obviously going to be common from Japan.

Nips are enamored with the Middle Ages. They don't write much about other things because it isn't interesting to them.

We don't need another gay ballad like 300

America is lame

>tfw no good older japanese history anime or manga like pic related

>Like middle ages America?
So, indians? Why? That'd be kind of boring unless they brought in their spiritual beliefs and made them real or some shit.

>No Stone Age Japan
What the fuck

Quetzacoatl

To make what OP said not absolutely retarded:
Why must the vast majority of fantasy series be set in Middle Ages Europe under a different name? There were ages before the Middle one, which had plenty of interesting things going on. Why are there so few fantasy works based around ancient civilisations such as Egypt, for example? There are plenty of non-European areas with rich histories and mythologies, like India, South America, Arabia, etc, so why are there so few fantasy worlds based upon them?

No.

And to be precise, there's not a whole lot of fantasy - let alone anime - based on the European middle ages. Typically fantasy authors go for the much more prolific Renaissance period. With good reason.

Also if I'm not mistaken there's at least 3 very popular anime/manga fantasy series based on the Islamic and pre Islamic Middle East airing right this fucking moment or in the last 6 or so months.

>pre 1000s Murilardia
Who gives a shit about a race that went extinct?

You got Shihou Sekai no Ou.
But it got canned.

too much land mines. One wrong step and you get bunch of crazies burning embassies

Because medieval with European weapons and armor is iconic with fantasy.

If you want stuff set in other locations or time periods, you should read manga.

JoJo kind of included them in battle tendency

>AWAKEN MY MASTERS!

Imagine, a few decades or even centuries from now on, there will be manga about a misunderstood ISIS-chan

>Constantinople
>not Kostantiniyye

600 years senpai

>doesnt know about Otaku in 10,000 B.C

No there won't be.
Because anime is haram and will be outlawed.
Alhamdulillah.

In a few decades the world wont allow anything that may cause harm to another person and everyone will have no gender, because it might hurt someones feelings.

>middle ages America
TOP EDUMANATION, SON! I CAN PROUD!

Over my dead fucking slav body.

>tfw OP has the average level of intelligence of you fucking americans

It's USA who should've been nuked. at least then people could enjoy freedom

Because it is well known, documented and usiually liked.

It is known that there were some big ass cities and civilizations in south america since 3000bc or something, but they all vanished and we know jack shit about them.

I wish the US was nuked in specific areas like San Fransisco and New York. Then they wouldn't be shit fests they are now.

Middle ages America?
So you want a show about injuns and mayans and shit? Then that's not fantasy adventure. Fantasy Adventure is European culture. It sounds to me like you're trying to make some round about SJW'esque statement.

You got Magi

Speaking of unusual settings, I'd love to see some Age of Sail anime. Kancolle and Haifuri are good and all but they're not enough for my navigation boner

I agree but nuke the entirety of California, West Coast and Arkanasas.

Go back to the shithole you came from.

>Fantasy Adventure is European culture.

>Fantasy is only european

dude you are fucking retarded every culture has some sort of tales using elements of fantasy its not exclusive to Europe you stupid fuck

RL: 1500AD and 1600AD is complete different settings
Games: Fantasy blender based on Tolkien and current dominant franchises

The Heroic Legend of Arslan aired last year and it's set in not!Persia

I feel like OP is a butthurt injun.

Don't you have some casino profits to drink away?

> middle ages America?

So...Aztec with other name?

I came here to post Magi but someone already did but no one said anything about it?

It's been the cool thing to do for decades now gramps.

Not it wouldn't.
The Middle East is a barren wasteland.
Also Magi and Aslan exist. And why the fuck would a fantasy be about your retarded Allah cult?

Hashire Melos?

america is a shithole user

Everything's a shithole where man has walked.

Go cry about European imperialism on tumblr.

Only someone living in a shithole would think that.

noice quads but The middle east has some interesting fantasy stories
>1001 nights

Yes, but America is an all-encompassing and swelling hole of unlimited putrid shit with shit cannons constantly aimed at other countries.
Ergo America remains the biggest shithole.

...

i dont give a shit about imperialism or any SJW bullshit, but saying fantasy is only exclusive to one culture is fucking stupid as fuck familia

there are plenty superior religions and mythology out there

>he thinks it was always like this
Oh the ignorance

>muh zoroastura
Whatever you say Bahran-chan.
How do you manage to get internet in Iran tho?

Is that the Hitler eagle?

To be fair that happens with just any kind of media that approaches fantasy not only manga and anime.

In literature happens exactly the same, of course there is stuff if you look enough, but the usual is the LOTR style. In anime happens the same you have lot of medieval stuff but all that you say exists too like 12 kingdoms or Magi or Basara or Aion or Rokka or...that manga about Budha that mixes mythology and warfare that even got an anime adaptation.

About the "WHY", well, its simple, the same reason remakes and sequels from older things are constantly make: CONNECTION, if you give the people something they already know you fastly create a connection that makes more easy to sell them the product.

>it's an America bash thread

Original, really original.

Are muslims seriously retarded enough to think USA and Europe destroyed their nature or some shit?

We have fucking historical writings from 3000 you inbred fuck. Yes. It was very much exactly like this. And guess what, even if it wasn't you've been the only retards there for pretty much the whole period so guess who would have fucked it - if there was anything to fuck from the get go, which there wasn't.

>middle ages America
Retard.

they hate us cause they aint us user

Mangaka don't seem to understand subtlety when it comes to certain genres like fantasy. Usually they find the most popular example in the West, i.e. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. and take them to extremes.

So looking at Berserk, it takes the pessimistic world of GOT and turns it into constant edge fights with demons haunting one specifiic guy.

Other times when it comes to fantasy, Mangaka go for the good old generic European fantasy story found in any JRPG or asian MMO. These stories have colourful worlds with races that all look super cute.

Magi and NGNL are guilty of this. Bright colours mixed with worlds that aren't very creative at all, races that are even less creative and history which is straight rip-offs.

Basically Mangaka are hacks and cannot respect the nature of fantasy storytelling, only becoming the 90% of shit that already exist in western fantasy series.

> Berserk, it takes the pessimistic world of GOT Fuck off, retard.

Because all cultures besides europe and asia are garbage and make for boring fantasy.

What the fuck has Berserk to do with GoT? Are you retarded?

America in the Middle Ages was full of mongoloid indians.

>USA and Europe destroyed their nature
what? are you really this retarded and illiterate to bring USA\EU to the topic?
Fucking burgerland

Why not make a fantasy world that has nothing to do with any of the past cutlures? I mean complitely made up reality.

Because the fucking cornerstone of modern high fantasy used that.

There's plenty of those, it's just that the land and architecture look pretty european.

How can you not hate america?

>impying white people's equality bullshit is gonna make it past this century
Sorry but you will be gone and we asians will takeover this planet once you soft hearted fucks are out the picture.
