There’s a ton of anime that I *might* recommend to different people, depending on individual preferences and tastes:

But the one that I come closest to recommending everyone, without qualification, would be:

“Keep Your Hands off Eizouken”

It’s basically a love letter to:

* joys and challenges in the process of creative collaboration
* how each success begets further goals
* how reflecting on details and oddities of the world adds to art

Also, for a very lite game in the same vein, there’s Jason Tocci’s Junior Hybrid Battle Cryptids (using his 24XX system).

I’m too preoccupied with a different genre of at the moment to really dig into these, but I’d heard that Mutants In The Now and Mutants In The Next were both basically attempts to recapture the vibe of 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG while improving the mechanics.

They are here:

I was a big fan of multiclassing in 3.x to get the type of character I envisioned.

Most of the prestige classes might have one or two interesting features at most and I couldn’t see the point of building toward them. Though it rarely mattered, since games I played in didn’t often get high enough level to take prestige.

Seems to me, rather than trying to come up with elaborate trapping mechanisms, maybe set some limits on the jump drive itself. Like:

* It is difficult to hide vehicle’s jump trajectory.
* Once in jump, a course is locked, can’t be changed (or not without consequence like burning out the drive).
* Observers can easily determine the endpoint of a jump and notify local authorities to intercept.
* Recuperation is needed before next jump.

It seems to me there’s usually mixes in Middle Earth.
Like order can be good (Aragorn is a healer and acclaimed monarch) but it can also be tyrannical and against the natural order (Sauron and Saruman are all about absolute control, and Rings of Power seem to have an element of prolonging things beyond their natural span).
And Sauron may be about control, but Morgoth seemed more about corruption and wanton destruction (more Black?).
