This. Gatekeep elitists like this away from japanese media when they get like this. If tye think weebs and anime are cringe they can just not touch it and stick with their (mostly failing) western media.
Well put. People get really passionate when discussing whether something is "anime". When they do so it's usually from a point of view of if it feels like anime to them. Like what you like and all that jazz but it bugs me when someone tries to describe something as "anime" to be derogatory towards it. This isn't an SMT exclusive issue though this is just how arguments go online.
Great vid, Glibb! Now I don't even need to finish reading Devilman after your summaey lmao But seriously now, what about Akira from SMTIV in the burned Tokyo scenario? He shares his name with the Devilman's protagonist and it's also a demon-Hunan hybrid. I also think that his demon design is kinda like Akira's devilman design, with the warped body and pointy edges. What do you think, mate? Can't wait for your next vid
SMT is anime without all the anime tropes and is why I like it. It’s what I don’t like about persona. I think people need to realize that there is a group of fans who just want, clean, heavy theological dungeon crawlers. We don’t always want an anime school sim and that’s ok.
a game is anime if i dont like it and japanese-inspired if i do

Bad video glib, video games can't be an anime. Anime literally means animation. This is the last straw you're out of the podcast!!!
get me in as the new token minority
But there is animation in the games :)

Akira of IV-IVA is more of a Akira Anime / Manga reference. IVA's protag even sits on a similar throne seat as Tetsuo from Akira.
SMT is a video game series. Lol
I don't really care about video editing most of the time, but i think you did a good work and i really liked your video.
hype for the new video
also lol at using p4d's opening haha
I've always had a feeling that the Megami Tensei had anime influences that weren't very blatant.
i don't know how it could possibley be more blatant than Akira in If... or the Rose of Versailes stuff in IV.
Nice video man. Keep it up!
Up and coming SMT youtuber
Wait, it's all anime?
Always has been
Good work with the video man

After seeing the SMT V gameplay trailer, I can confirm this.
Just a heads up: the cursed sword in JoJo is likely based on Stormbringer, featuted in the Blue Öyster Cult song "Black Blade."
Who is that? Who is? Who is?
That is the Devil. Devilman!
Devilman!
I mean honestly, I dont think I can think of anything in SMT that isnt at least 40% just Devilman
and the other 60% is probably Devilman adjacent
As long as DDS exists it's an anime series.
Smt5 Vengeance is *VERY* anime
Is it a cartoon? No.
Ergo, it's not anime.
This is okay. I approve.
Don't need to this. the answer is YES
uhhhhh actually it’s a video game... blocked and unsubbed and reported......
Yo I didn’t know cancer could comment on UA-cam videos
lol weeb
