What clichés does Other-M copy from Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell, exactly? Name specific examples of what happened in both of these shows, compare them moments in Other-M, and explain why these clichés are specifically from anime, and not just fiction in general. |
the government is secretly evil trope. - Universal trope (can you even call that a trope?)
Badass woman becomes a sloppy piece of hormones around her commanding officer with some cheesy flashback sequence. - That never happened. Samus only lost herself for one bried moment throughout the entire game which had nothing to do with Adam. Additionally, her relationship with Adam was much more that of a father figure than any romantic interest and she respected him. Continued below.
Samus' becomes dependent. - That never really happened either. Samus following orders was a fairly weak gameplay device on one hand and she never really became dependent either. They made a point of showing how she was a rebel when she served under him and she continued to work on her own throughout most of the game. She continued to be a very strong character despite showing weakness, which is simply human.
Galatic space melodrama. - What does this even mean
Commander sacrificing himself. - Universal trope
Entomophobic trope. - Universal trope
Cold commander doesnt save his brother due to being cold as fcuk. Is cold to samus later, and gains her trust again which she wants. - Universal trope

Other M wasn't written well but that had nothing to do with anime or "anime tropes" (see above)

Other M would have been a bad game regardless, but the unfitting japanese style didn't fix anything.
