    Default Anime Influences

    I've only played this game for an hour and I spotted three anime influences over the game:

    1) Sailor Moon or any other magical girl show especially in the spherechanges where the old costume disappears and a new one appears.

    2) Macross/Robotech. Only J-pop can save the world!

    3) This will take some explaining. In anime there is a recurring character type I like to call the femme fatale nemesis. She's always protrayed as vain, provocatively dressed and greedy. She's always accompanied by two flunkies, one tall and lanky, one squat and short. Such a character is not evil, but is usually unscrupulous and works at cross purposes to the heroes.

    She was originally seen in Time Bokan with Doronjo:

    With her flunkies Tonzular and Boyakki:

    She was reincarnated in Nadia: the Secret of Blue Waterwith Grandis and her flunkies Hanson and Sanson:


    A new version appears in Steam Detectives in the cat burglar Crimson Scorpion:

    Her flunkies Pasta and Doria appear below in the thumbnail.

    This brings us to Leblanc:

    Her flunky Ormi:

    Her other flunky Logos:

    What anime influences have you spotted?

    I was surprised more by the frequency of references to specific anime series than their presence. I was just curious if they were any others, or if they were all at the beginning.
