I think that the .hack series are the only thing RPG-invaded.

Well, Lodoss Wars reminded me of a roleplay, too.

A lot really depends on how sophisticated your RPG gaming (yes I know redundancy) is. If you get right down to it, shows like Hellsing, and Blood the last vampire also fall into that category given the number of vampire games that go on.

.Hack/Duck, .Hack/Liminality, .Hack/Twilight, Inuyasha, Lodoss war, Escaflowne, Gundam, and just about anything that has a large audience can be done.

Basically, any anime where you have a 'group' of people that all want to accomplish the same thing, and have to travel to do it you have the makings of an RPG. Look at Scrapped princess as an excellent example. If the show has magic, and or a plethora of creatures the likelyhood goes up dramatically.

If the anime has things like Elves, and known classes of characters like good magicians, and warriors then it's probably already a game somewhere. Heck, maybe that's how they plan out the episodes.

I'm not even getting into the new "card" type games like magic where a few shows are basically a selling point for the series of cards. If you consider that RPG, then you get a whole new uh... vista.

Would it be cool a rk rpg? Using Kenshi, Sano, Kaoru and the rest to rescue the world, to defeat the evil whoever and rescue the entire humanity (like in those old snes games).......nahhhhhhh, i don't think so

Yea, but in cock fights they at least try to peck each other's eyes out or otherwise mutilate the opponent, and pokemon just make funny noises. At least I'm yet to see a Pokemon lose an eye in battle

watch (or but a copy of, or whatever) Amores Perros. no cock fighting. but a similar thing with dogs. and it is violent. seriosly, realy violent. but good.
