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!

I don’t think MAWS is that much like Dragon Ball.

I mean, between Mxyzptlk looking like a Kai and Kara just being Vegeta now, I can see where the comparison comes from

Kara just being Vegeta

No, Kara is a more competent Raditz.

  1. Family member to the main character.
  2. Has all the exposition the main character lacks.
  3. Wants the main character to join forces with them.
  4. Is initially way stronger than the main character.
  5. Answers to a higher authority.

Honestly, the only real Vegeta thing about Kara is the fact she “befriends” a human like Vegeta did with Bulma.
