Now compare this with another horrifying anime wad--panty and Stocking meet Doom by our old friend TheBestTBM.

As you can see from the enemies, it's overall still Doom. Even most of the sprites and weapons are idtech1 weapons but with Panty/Stocking's hands MSPainted on. The author is trying to take the anime art style and port it to Doom--and here is where a lot of people mess up.
What this is basically trying to accomplish is nothing more than a late 90s Dehacked clone where their favorite character of choice adorns the title screen and the weapons behave exactly the same, resulting in a game that's baffling and maybe laughable but isn't really particularly interesting--because, well, it's an ugly version of Doom.

Anime wads can be done, but when people think anime the first thing they think of is the big eyes, bright colors, pointy hair, etc etc and not the typical stylings of anime.
Anime art + Doom = always going to fail.
Anime action style + Doom = gon' be bretty gud.

Unfortunately, making interesting gameplay reminiscent of action anime is much more difficult than taking screenshots of your favorite animu and slapping them in the hudbar, sooooooooooooooo.
