Gahd I really love these old men... the corrupt doting grandfather, the strong playboy father and the determined noble children... and of course, their ever so laid back great sage instructor.
It's nice to see Schweit change :>
and roasting orcs.. I'm pretty sure he just want a bit of that pork meat lol
tho it seems like an update would still be far ahead.
Why do orcs in anime and manga differ so much from western iterations of them? Here, they're humanoid pigs, basically. In western stories, they're usually rooted from elves that have been twisted and corrupted by dark magic...
@kami_nana Twisted-Elf Orcs are very loosely based on Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, etc). Pig-Faced Orcs are based on Dungeons & Dragons (which is also “Western”). When the early editions of D&D came out, they had a huge influence on Japanese perception of the fantasy genre, and those images stuck. In fact, a lot of Japanese authors and artists admit that their ideas spawned from tabletop D&D games they used to play. That’s why you see pig-faced orcs and dog-faced kobolds, which are taken from the early D&D Monster Manual.
