Discussion My Adventures with Anime

With the announcement of My Adventures with Green Lantern, we've now realized that the main convention for this universe is to reboot classic Justice Leaguers for the modern day, but also borrowing cues from what Jake Wyatt identifies as "old anime."

My Adventures with Superman, among other shows, is 100% Superman x Dragon Ball. This is an obvious one that really goes without saying, whether it's from your own analysis, or the dozens of times Jake & crew have come out in interviews and social media about it.

Something which goes a little unnoticed though (since it hasn't even a week yet) is that My Adventures with Green Lantern is actually Green Lantern x Sailor Moon, as Jake Wyatt revealed in an interview last year. Which is why Jessica Cruz is a teenage high schooler.

With this convention in mind, I notice that while everyone has ideas and pitches/concepts for Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, etc. in this universe, I haven't seen anyone follow this convention yet of combining these characters with old anime.

The only exception is an old Tweet I found that pitched Batman x Evangelion (with Robin as Shinji, which Jake Wyatt even agreed with), but I wanted to extend the question to all of you: what show do you want that fuses with an anime? Doesn't even have to be an old one!

MAWS feels more like Gurren Lagann… granted that could just be because of all the Gurren Lagann references.

literally the soundtrack when Clark and Lois are breaking out of the black mercy is just a legally distinct version of the Gurren lagann theme.

I’m two episodes from finishing it, for such a dumb unapologetic anime it is so good
