The only thing people know about 'middle ages America' are the Aztecs and Mayans, and not all that much is known of them anyway, what else would you base your setting on?
Besides, if you want America to be seen like it has more than only 4 centuries of 'culture', you better make sure it's not about two civilizations set in fucking Mexico.

To make what OP said not absolutely retarded:
Why must the vast majority of fantasy series be set in Middle Ages Europe under a different name? There were ages before the Middle one, which had plenty of interesting things going on. Why are there so few fantasy works based around ancient civilisations such as Egypt, for example? There are plenty of non-European areas with rich histories and mythologies, like India, South America, Arabia, etc, so why are there so few fantasy worlds based upon them?
>>
>>142027567
No.

And to be precise, there's not a whole lot of fantasy - let alone anime - based on the European middle ages. Typically fantasy authors go for the much more prolific Renaissance period. With good reason.

Also if I'm not mistaken there's at least 3 very popular anime/manga fantasy series based on the Islamic and pre Islamic Middle East airing right this fucking moment or in the last 6 or so months.

To be fair that happens with just any kind of media that approaches fantasy not only manga and anime.

In literature happens exactly the same, of course there is stuff if you look enough, but the usual is the LOTR style. In anime happens the same you have lot of medieval stuff but all that you say exists too like 12 kingdoms or Magi or Basara or Aion or Rokka or...that manga about Budha that mixes mythology and warfare that even got an anime adaptation.

About the "WHY", well, its simple, the same reason remakes and sequels from older things are constantly make: CONNECTION, if you give the people something they already know you fastly create a connection that makes more easy to sell them the product.

Mangaka don't seem to understand subtlety when it comes to certain genres like fantasy. Usually they find the most popular example in the West, i.e. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. and take them to extremes.

So looking at Berserk, it takes the pessimistic world of GOT and turns it into constant edge fights with demons haunting one specifiic guy.

Other times when it comes to fantasy, Mangaka go for the good old generic European fantasy story found in any JRPG or asian MMO. These stories have colourful worlds with races that all look super cute.

Magi and NGNL are guilty of this. Bright colours mixed with worlds that aren't very creative at all, races that are even less creative and history which is straight rip-offs.

Basically Mangaka are hacks and cannot respect the nature of fantasy storytelling, only becoming the 90% of shit that already exist in western fantasy series.

Of course not every fantasy novel is set in europe but in 99,99999% of the times fantasy is synonymous with european middle ages and has widely been accepted as such.

>>142030949
No.
The real reason is Europ was a place that could be romanticized easily.
Women were considered to be human beings - even if they were not completely equal.
People had rights. And obligations.
They upheld their beliefs but not with complete fanaticism.
And you could always outgrow your birthrights.

It's likeable and easy to work with.

Now lets look at Mexicostan
>human sacrifices every day
>women are animals
>cast system
>they don't even have a word for war, they constantly fight

Yeah, you could make a setting that is interesting out of this but, it's not going to be easy and in the end it would look more like Europe than Aztecloatlallalalttltltltc.

We don't know how they lived for sure.
But we also find a lot of mass graves of women and children.
So the archeologists saying there was NO gender equality in Southern America probably have a much stronger argument to stand on.

As for the rest you're pretty much saying what I said. They were bloodthirsty fanatical barbarians.

Maybe not romance in the sense of the modern age, but even if a culture's highest form of respect were eating each other's hearts before they died of old age, it's the principle of the action: showing your mutual love as recognized by your society.
A story doesn't fit your sensibilities, and that's okay. But shutting it down before it's even complete is a dick move.

A spaniard said this about the aztec city

>When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (...) on account of the great towers and cues and buildings rising from the water, and all built of masonry. And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream? (...) I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.

And yet a couple of ships filled with impoverished Spaniards, managed to conquer all of it. What a conundrum.

You also have to bare in mind Europeans in that period liked to tell tall tales. Some of the spaniards wrote about fountains that could give you eternal youth. Are those real as well?

Where are all of those cities?

We find cities thousands of years old buried in Europe and they are still identifiable as such. Where are all the great Aztec cities? Southern America is pretty arid. If anything those cities would have survived much better.

There are some interesting surviving monuments but there's nothing that impressive in Southern America, Europe was building pic related in the same period.

At this point the fantasy genre has degenerated into regurgitating D&D campaigns. You can choose between 'bright' Tolkien-like fantasy or 'dark' Howard-like fantasy.

The Japanese are arguably doing better, because they just don't give a fuck and will copy JRPG plots, which provides a little bit of leeway.

No maybe you need to read one. At it's peak Spain had a grand total of GASP 40 ships going to the Americas yearly. Those ships were about as big as you would expect of the period so we're talking about 1000ish colonists dropping off in the Americas.

Come the fuck on.

The Southern Americans had a civilization. But if a 1000 people half of which women per year are enough to topple it, then we're not exactly talking about an overachieving culture here.

More amusing when the spaniards first came to "India" they had a grand total of 6 ships. Can you even imagine the laughable scale of things we're talking about here. 300 people conquered a fucking continent with a great advanced culture already present. Yeah right.
