  • I don’t really understand people saying it’s not part of the lore. I did the expansions and everything. I got the ending, assuming that I remember correctly, where Ciri becomes a witcher. And in the expansions, Geralt just wanted to retire on a mountain vineyard in not-France.

    One thing I was thinking of with the announcement is what would they do with the witcher powers, but from the electric punch in the preview, my guess is they’re going to expand her psychic powers to take the place of witcher powers.

    I’m looking foward to it. It looks kick ass.

    Also - are there actually as many compaints as people make it out to be? Like I’ve never met anyone in real life who didn’t like that a game featured a woman.







  • xXx holic has a lot of japanese myth

    Inuyasha is heavily influenced by it

    The Monogatari series is…adapted?

    Doro he doro a bit

    Natsume’s book of friends has a lot about yokai and stuff, not as much mythology

    The tale of princess Kaguya (one of my favorites) is a version of the old Chinese tale of the bamboo cutter

    Ghost stories (English dub only - I promise) but it’s any ghost stories

    Heike story - I think, follows a girl who plays the biwa and can see the future, more historical

    Theater of darkness - a collection of scary stories that would have their origins in myth

    Kyousougiga - a story about love, reincarnation, very Japanese myth. Hard to explain but one that I loved

    Thunderbolt fantasy - actually puppets, physical puppets. But more Chinese myth than japanese. It was actually a good story too

    Maybe kamisama hajimemashita - a girl becomes a shrine god, a rom-com

    Mushi-shi - one of my favorites, there are these spirits called musho that are more like energy and the foundation of life. They can cause issues in the world and the MC is like a physician or detective

    Yuyu Hakusho was inspired by it

    A lot of ghibli movies
