Present-Day Anime Animation

[Gors]

Let me tell that recycling and repurposing the same things over and over is not a problem at all - it's something that's been with us over and over. Somtimes, recycling past ideas while adding new points can be the next fresh thing.

In the creative world, you'll never be able to produce a fully original thing. There will be always a percentage of outside inspiration, but this is not a bad thing. It's the fusion of these points that make the new things interesting.

for example, playing with spinning tops were one of the oldest pasttimes ever created by mankind. Beyblade got that and made customized tops for anime and actual toys. It ran with an age-old concept, gave it some polish, and it was sold.

The biggest problem however is the quality concerning this adaptation and/or junction of elements. Beyblade, for example, worked because it was made to appeal to young kids. Imagine if this was done poorly, with terrible art and without over the top battles and all the "being the top player in the world" kinda thing. The franchise would topple over, that's for sure. You need to give a new spin on the genre or else you're faded to fail.
