>democracy isn't American culture because it originated in Anceint Greece
Are you braindead? Something can be a trope of both western and eastern fantasy and they can have distinct and recognizably unique takes on it. That's his point. Something doesn't necessarily need to originate in Japan for it to be considered Japanese. Is "Blue China" not Chinese because Chinks weren't the first to invent crockery? Of course not, it's their unique spin on it. Japanese fantasy doesn't feel like western fantasy for the reasons he stated. I also like Japanese fantasy for it's anime style aesthetics and because aspects like elemental magic play a greater role in them.
