Do you even watch anime?

You meant to post this on Sup Forums

Try watching more anime? Start with Twelve Kingdoms and Seirei no Moribito.

>Sup Forumsnons watching anime

the next thing you will be telling me is Sup Forumsirgins actually play video games

Don't spoonfeed req fags.

LOTR uses actual folklore as groundwork, what's even your point.

What folklore?

Should have specified actual medieval fantasy that doesn't fall to cliche rather than any fantasy world, thanks though.

These are looking good,appreciate it my dude.

I bet you think elves are supposed to be tall thin and sexy you degenerate.

Exactly.

OP's logic
>it has elves in it?
>it's loosely medieval european looking?
>FUCKING TOLKIEN COPY FUCK

Absolutely retarded. Most fantasy series in the last 10 years have been based off muh ARRPEEGEE GAEMS and trash like that.

not that user but it is common knowledge that Tolkien just steal folklores from European nations near Britain in his works and just add generic racist attributes to their racial lore.

>generic racist attributes
?!

>generic racist attributes
wat

Don't even bother.

No, I think they're supposed to be diminutive green people with party hats on creating toys in the middle of the North Pole.

Black clover dosent copy Tolkien. At least read the manga

All of the dwarves names from hobbit are copied from Poetic Edda. And a lot of other tiny details. I can't say anything about the plot because I haven't read into Poetic Edda too much.

A fair bit of finnish, things like the ring saga which is germanic. Obviously he more clearly defined elves vs dwarves (and even cemented their spelling) with elves basically being significantly different from how they had previously been portrayed.

>muh ARRPEEGEE GAEMS

which are 99/100 times just diminutive clones of DnD

which was just a diminutive clone of Tolkien.

Not enough people on Sup Forums have seen or talk about those series and they're amongst my favourites, I'll shill them whenever I can

Which means OP has no idea what he's talking about.
It's like calling humans carbon copies of chimpanzees.

Of course you can promote them, but why not do it in better threads?

Sometimes there are good 12 K threads, more so years ago. One of the best anime ever in my opinion.

I think you mean derivative

I wish, the most close to fantasy japan can go is Dragon Quest parody.

Aside of Lodoss there is not a single LOTR anime.

>folklore as groundwork instead of muh LOTR

Pic related.
Druaga
Tears to Tiara
Any Tales of
Mostly any anime based on videogames

Aside of Lodoss there isn't much LOTR anime to begin with.

Do people seriously think the only possible fantasy in existence is western high fantasy? There is fuckloads of anime with Japanese (and Chinese) fantasy concepts.

Twelve Kingdoms was really great. Low on pandering, high on character development, world building, and plot.

oops meant to link to

Brandon Sanderson pretty much writes anime and he's not ripping Tolkien.


He's one of the worst popular writings in fantasy tho.

>Fuckloads of chinese fantasy concepts

12 kingdoms
Sainkoku monogatari
Akatsuki No yona
Millenium dragon
Kemono no shoja Erin
Seirei no moribito
A couple of travel to the west bastardizations

For me that's not exactly a fuckload

>Fuckloads of Japanese fantasy
Certainly there are lots of those, but ALL of them take place in japan, so they are not really comparable to high fantasy that are original worlds wich is what we are mainly talking about here.

the rat boy dies in the book

Does he at least get with Youko? He was surprisingly cute as a human, somehow his voice made me think he would be ugly.

Of old age?

>carbon copy of Tolkien

Never seen em. What the fuck are you talking about.
