:There has been a Russian hoax called [http://ida-soft.org/common.php?l=50 Oni 2: Next Generation]. It's supposed to be a feature-length anime/CGI sequel to Oni, but is actually a Russian fandub of the [[wikipedia:Appleseed_%28film%29|Appleseed]] movie. Not a very recommendable fandub, too: obscenities all over the place, and little respect for the original. The excerpts that used to be featured on the hoax pages are now gone, but if you're interested in the whole dub it's apparently still available. | |||

The characteristic visual style shared by anime and manga can be called "anime" or "manga" depending on the context. Apart from the general characteristic, there is a variety of styles highly characteristic of "schools" or individual artists. There are also categories based on the targeted audience, and general archetypes (e.g., Shina-tan up there is a generic example of the [[:Category: | The characteristic visual style shared by anime and manga can be called "anime" or "manga" depending on the context.

The main influence for Oni was the manga/anime franchise [[Ghost in the Shell]], and so the characteristic manga/anime style is very present in Oni (for a game that was made in the US). [[Alex Okita]] came up with some character/environment design, more or less anime- and GITS-inspired. The [[intro]] and [[outro]] sequences were made by an actual anime studio called [http://www.aicanime.com/ AIC]. | The main influence for Oni was the manga/anime franchise [[Ghost in the Shell]], and so the characteristic manga/anime style is very present in Oni (for a game that was made in the US).
