Anime and Manga creators have been doing this for years. You want a talking duck in a pilot hat? Here, have one. Couple of martial artists swimming to China and coming back as a girl and a panda? Help yourself.
We, on other hand, are obsessed with pseudo-realism. "Oh look at this historical fantasy! It has un-period attitudes toward women and they said the candles were wax, when everyone knows the candles at that time period were made of fat."
Where is the light fantastic? Where are the stories of distant planets and improbable feats? They are out there, I know it :)
This craving for pseudo-realism sometimes makes me feel like I am entering an ass-kicking contest with my feet tied together.
