You want to know the reason why fantasy evolved differently in Japan compared to the western world? Simple. Japan's western fantasy movement was most popularized by table top games. Around that time in the late 70s and the 80s, Japan experienced a science fiction zeitgeist that motivated many writers and mangaka take inspiration directly from fairy tales, and myth of the ancient past instead of early 20th centuries novels. However only western scifi novels were massive in Japan, not fantasy novels. In fact Lord of Ring was underselling in Japan until the movie came out.
They were pretty much more influenced by classical myths and the old DND artists like Frank Frazetta but with a stylized flair, instead of the usual Lotr templates that we have.

>Feminism lacks epistemological foundations and is a deficient movement! It's dogmatic and is just assumed to be true on faith!
>Me? no, i haven't read any feminist works on the topic. But they're all laughable and lack rigor. Start examining the weak foundations of your beliefs!
