-Actual western (without Sci-fi stuff)

Greek mythology is too archetypal these days.

Roman and Persian conflict.

Modern age/near-future space exploration/maintenance with a feel of desolation and long slow space walks and shit

>Greek mythology is too archetypal these days

Greek mythology is almost inexistent nowdays thought, the names and creatures from greek mythology are dumped into every fucking fantasy work, especiall urban fantasy/highschool fantasy. But no one ever does works set on ancient greece

Arion is probably the only Greek myth based anime
For westerns, the Samurai genre is the best you'll get, as the Western genre itself is an evolution of samurai films, so I guess you could watch the Yojimbo anime. If you're ok with live actions, then Nikkatsu Noir films are great Yakuza and samurai films that have clear influences on the western genre.

>Japanese doing Greek Mythology
>Japanese doing Western
>Japanese doing Roman
>Japanese doing Persian

You retards are aware that whenever Japanese Anime-Industry makes shit with characters from other countries. Its once in every blue-moon? They aren't going to pander to you fucking dumbasses, the audience for anime and manga isn't even for US. Its for Japan itself, its no wonder the Japanese Anime Community hates us so much, we're actually trying to impose ideas on their own countries artistic work cause we don't have shit to enjoy except cartoons and western comic.

Sci-fi that doesn't focus on giant robots or a stand-in for giant robots. If it must be mecha, at least make it something like Patlabor that treats them like machines with limited use and applications rather than heroic extensions of your protagonists. Animation allows you to seamlessly blend elements in ways that live-action cannot. Anime does not leverage this like it could, and with the shit to using CG for some elements it completely abandons this natural advantage.

Fuck off, Arion is a great film you fucking peasant.

It has become bland through its past popularity.

>>135461534
They're basic concepts senpai, I'm not saying historical reenactment with little girls instead of soldiers. Just that there is a lot of interesting art and thematic references from around there unused.

>>135460675

What about Greek Mythology with heavy or subtle science fiction themes?

Still, light novels are shitloaded of engrish and nordic and ancient mythology.

They don't do proper mythology because they don't know how to do it properly but obviously the audience of anime and manga likes that kind of stuff.

Gun Blaze West
Gun Frontier
That's all I got

It has some greek gods here and there, but wouldn't say its based on greek myth, basically is more a generic 90s postapocalypse anime. Loved the movie anyway.

There is some anime based on greek mythology though.

Hashire Melos is an actual Greek myth. Umi no Triton had lot of ancient myths on it. Also pic related

Early rains. its just an onva and its really short but...it exist.

Would be nice to have a Black Lagoon kind of anime but set in wild west.

No, fuck that, Greek history. Classical Greek history. Specifically about the strategist of Alexander the Great.

I guess there's Carnage if we're counting short OVAs

Tacticool action shows with actual action and high-end tech but without mecha or deus ex machina.

Stand Alone Complex does have mecha (the think tanks and armored suits) but they aren't the focus.

I was referencing Historie and how it'd be nice to have an anime adaptation of that.

Elizabethan England.

>>135468973
Yeah, thats exactly what I had in mind, but we don't have lot of those there days. We used to have quite some ovas and movies but now not even that.

A brazilian anime would be interesting with their favelas and criminal factions/cops drama. No kidding.

Nordic mythology,something like 'Vikings'.

>>135461534
How is doing Greek mythology any different than doing Fantasy or Sci-Fi Mecha World 8? Have an Otaku transported to Definitely Not Ancient Athens for all I care, just do something fun that will mix up the visual palette.

SoL in Deep Space.
