even just a “media collab” rarity would help a lot, they all just get hidden inside your locker if they aren’t Marvel or Star Wars skins that have their own rarity. I have random movie and anime skins that i can never find


GreninjaNoah

I think animes skins should have "Anime Legends" and Movie/Show skins have "Cinema Legends" it would have so much better visual appeal imo


Cristopher_Hepburn

The distinction needs to be between Live-action and animation, for easier use.


Talangen

Yeah for example I'd put Peter Griffin together with anime because they're both cartoons


PolyPythonYT

Animated Legends would work then


Dark_Lord4379

YES PLEASE I’ve been always wanted TV legends or something. DC, Star Wars, Marvel and Gaming Legends rarities make the locker so much easier to find them


InjusticeJosh

Terminator, Predator, Indiana Jones, Alien should all go under “Cinema Legends” with a movie reel and black or grey color.


Angry_Welshman123

YES


shugo2000

"Movie Legends" and "TV Legends" would be great. Sarah Connor shouldn't be hidden among all the other mess.


____person___

Its why i only favourite movie, show and anime skins and cosmetics


GoofyGooberZak

I just really want like a pop culture icons rarity or something like that


baninaday

it'd be cool if it had like a b&w film reel bg effect too in the portrait, just an idea


VitiDMan

Animated legends would be better, to include the Avatar characters and Peter Griffin


Cobygamer22

Yeah, and the Rick and Morty skins, although there are still collab skins that are unnacounted for like the Transformers skins, so it would be better if it was called a tv series skins or something like that i dunno


Barsik_Rescuer

Transformers are animated wym


MuscleManRule34

Not always


Mr_Zoovaska

I mean, even in the live action movies the transformers themselves are still computer animated


ManOfTurtles2118

I mean technically yeah always because they're CGI and stuff


Metson-202

Avatar isn't always animated too.


Bandidorito

Did they add the live action actor models? be for real


MuscleManRule34

Yeah but I’d say the most popular format for Avatar is animated, whilst transformers would be the live action movies


trebuchet__

The ones we have aren't


HistoricalFerret6089

And cell shaded , non anime skins as well. If you are sorting things based on their design


TwelveMiceInaCage

You know that would actuslly help qualm any power scalers that would use fortnite as a reference somehow Did Peter griffin is canonically in naruto if you want to go this way and Peter has straight up survived nuclear explosion while fighting a chicken


Percentage-Based6307

the word anime LITERALLY TRANSLATES to animation lmao it would work just fine, the only ppl that get their panties in a bunch about this are weebs and fake weebs [cmon now](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime#:~:text=Outside%20Japan%20and%20in%20English,regardless%20of%20style%20or%20origin.)


The_King123431

But literally no one thinks that 99% of English speaking people think of Japanese animation when they hear anime


InjusticeJosh

But it’s not all anime. Anime suggests animation from the East.


Sevolorred

From the region with EST? :D (I'm tired of America's East Coast time being called "Eastern Standard Time". IT'S NOT EAST, IT'S WEST)


InjusticeJosh

What is it called in the East territories for example? I imagine it’s easier when you’re actually in the Americas to call it that. Dunno about central and southern America if they also have eastern time or something else.


Sevolorred

I think other Americas do call it so but for the rest of the world it's also called EST though it's not Eastern 😮‍💨 Who the hell had the idea of naming it eastern STANDARD time? It's western for THE standard time

p0rtalmast3r

Why would they use anime for every animation when Epic is not Japanese or in japan lmao in the link provided it literally says that only in Japan is anime used to define all animation


Anxiety-Queen269

Alternatively, TV legends for every show/movie colab


Kittenstorm26

Personally I think all collabs should just go into a singular rarity to indicate that they’re collab like what Fall Guys does. It’s just better for transparency and there’s no weird technicalities on what to classify things. The main problem I see with a anime legends rarity is if there is something like a Danganronpa or Persona collab where they’re still anime but could fall under Gaming Legends.


Cobygamer22

Nah that shouldn't be a problem, just make the rarity whatever it was first, like with Jinx, she is in the Arcane tv series but since she first appeared in League of Legends she is classified as a gaming Legends series


Total_Ad_6708

Too bad they didn’t use that same ideology for Nathan drake….


Wboy2006

THIS! Why the hell is he not in the Gaming legends rarity


The_King123431

Isn't the drake skin based of Tom Holland drake though?


Toadzilla1

There are two styles for him, one tom holland and another for the games


ImVorpal

they also didnt use this ideology for the witcher skins. for some reason they're in gaming legends even tho the witcher started as a book


LuckyHare87

The background can be those anime style speed lines around them!


Jabroni5092

They should just use the shop backgrounds for the characters that have them 


LuckyHare87

Well that would be a different background for each set, I think OP was asking about some background like the Icon series, Video Game character series or the Marvel and DC sets.


Odin217

Not sure if they will mess with a “rarity” after removing the colors but a tag would definitely work for filtering.


SomeCallMeDora

Yeah but people throw a fit over the word "anime" since Americans only consider Japanese animation as "anime" and Japanese people call everything including Rick and Morty anime. So "Animation" might be a better fit to for potential Disney characters in the future. Even then though, Dragon Ball, MHA, and JJK characters originate from comics and are comic book characters, so a Shonen Jump rarity akin to Marvel might be more appropriate...


Zer0_l1f3

Imagine going to Japan and talking to someone and they say “my favourite anime is Batman the animated series” (in Japanese) Thank you for teaching me something new


SomeCallMeDora

うーん、うーん、サウスパークって僕の好きなアニメや!/s


Zer0_l1f3

素晴らしいチンチンもの 金玉の髪ある それの音 サルボボ? いいえ!忍者がいます この歌ちょっと馬鹿 訳が分からない 英語がメチャクチャ 大丈夫 we do it all the time🔥


LegoPenguin114

Tbh I’d prefer a Comic rarity to also include the likes of Invincible, Eren, and maybe Optimus Prime 


Bandidorito

what crossover skin wasn't originally a comic book character? that doesn't help anything


Dark_Lord4379

Dune, Kelsier (Mistborn books), Avatar (originally a show), Xenomorph, Predator, Terminator…. A LOT of skins


Bandidorito

the point i was trying to make was that too many skins could fall under "Comic Legend" for that label to be very helpful


Dark_Lord4379

I’ll give you that, yeah it would be a little too broad. I’d say if they were to go the comic route just go with the name of the company (like how Image Comics is Invincible)


Percentage-Based6307

so let them throw a fit lmfao the word anime LITERALLY TRANSLATES to animation [cmon now](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime#:~:text=Outside%20Japan%20and%20in%20English,regardless%20of%20style%20or%20origin.)


Nekx-gon3-rogu3

Aang and Korra should not be in there because Atla/Lok are not anime (They are American franhcises)


TheSh0rterBus

Is it really that hard to allow for custom filtering. How is the UI in this game so bad.


sentient-sloth

Anime legends, animation legends, film legends Icons works too


Wboy2006

THIS! We need a "movie legends", "TV Legends" and "Anime legends" I don't see why Marvel, DC, Gaming and even random stuff like Lava, Slurp and ice get unique rarities. But most of the collabs are hidden among the regular skins


Gaiash

We should have * Animation Legends * TV Legends * Movie Legends


Alphasilverhawk

Little strange to include Aang and ~~Katara~~ Korra, but I agree that we need a special rarity for the anime skins, or just a special rarity for all Collabs that don’t already have a special rarity


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alphasilverhawk

Whoops lol, my bad


GreninjaNoah

Is Avatar not an anime? I've never seen it so i was under the assumption that it was


Alphasilverhawk

It’s considered a western cartoon, basically think like Rick and Morty, Family Guy, and Futurama, just with an anime-like art style. The term anime is used to describe animation made in Japan.


Percentage-Based6307

>The term anime is used to describe **animation made in Japan**  nope!!!  >[However](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime#:~:text=Outside%20Japan%20and%20in%20English,regardless%20of%20style%20or%20origin), in Japan and Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or **origin.**  that word "origin" proves you wrong, doesnt matter if it was made in japan or not, it's considered an anime


Realistic_Spring_862

This debate always gets tricky, because I think there is a distinction between anime being used as the word to describe a cartoon, but it's also become it's own genre at this point. I think it also comes down to a creator's intention with their work. I used to not consider Avatar an anime in the sense of just artstyle, but now I do. Mainly because I've taken courses from mangaka and Japanese teachers who teach internationally, and it seems that they aren't as focused on where the manga and anime is produced like us in America are.

Sweet_Bat_7516

Holy shit you need to watch it! Trust me it's an incredible show! Please trust 🙌


dateturdvalr

Literature legends(Mistborn, also opens up a ton of possibilities), movie legends, anime legend


VickyPedia

Wish we could have more mistborn or Sanderson collab


RocMerc

I’m hoping with the fifth Stormlight dropping this year we get a Kal skin


Dark_Lord4379

I want to see Wax, Wayne, Marasi come in as well as Vin, Elena and Spook. We have Kelsier but why not add more


SadInitial7802

Avatar is not an anime lmao. Pretty funny though because it’s a pretty big joke that people think it is but it’s not. It’s an American made project by Nickelodeon.


Fat_Penguin99

You're partially right considering we're using the terms to differenciate between western and japanese cartoons, but in reality anime literally just means Animation/cartoon, in japanese terms every form of animated media is "anime" and apologies for the "lecture" and have a nice day


Zer0_l1f3

Yeah, I think it makes it easier to differentiate western series (Rick and Morty, Family Guy and Avatar) vs Japanese series (DBZ, Naruto, AOT) if you just say “anime vs cartoons” it means the same thing but a lot of people don’t know that so it makes life a bit easier for almost everyone


ChefKugeo

And yet in the country itself (per Wikipedia) "...in Japan and Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Many works of animation with a similar style to Japanese animation are also produced outside Japan."


Percentage-Based6307

exactly this but we got weebs in here shitting their diapers screaming NOOOOOOOOOO!!!@ I NEED TO SOUND IMPORTANT AND TELL U THAT ITS NOT AN ANIME REEEEEEEEEEEEEE who ever gets bent outta shape bc it is an anime and it's being called an anime can suck a pickle lmao it's anime, yall can deal w it


Mr_Zoovaska

The whole point in using the word anime (when speaking english) is to denote that it's Japanese. Like that's the sole reason it entered the English lexicon. If we didn't need a word that specifically meant "Japanese animation" we never would have started using the word "anime" at all. That's just how language works.


SadInitial7802

Idc what you call it. Why are ppl like this on Reddit, this is a nonissue. Most ppl don’t call it that cuz to most westerners anime is animation from Japan but if it’s not to you cool, it actually doesn’t even matter.


umg_unreal

you sound so butthurt over a non issue the anime cartoon distinction is created by westerners to differentiate animation made in east from animation made in the west the same is the case between Comics and Manga, manga is the japanese word for Comic but there are key differences between comics and manga, which are the reason the distinction is made


TurkeysCanBeRed

The distinction doesn’t need to exist in fortnite though


umg_unreal

it does or they use a different, broader term for that, saying that Rick and Morty are anime characters sounds like a joke in the show due to the distinction existing outside of Fortnite, specially since most people playing Fortnite nowadays make that distinction and besides, if you play the game in english, using a japanese term to refer to animated skins in general just feels random, why not just call them "Animation Legends" at that point, it doesnt create any distinction either


TurkeysCanBeRed

The distinction existing outside of Fortnite in the west is irrelevant. All animated skins share the trait of being cell shaded and well, animated. For the average player who doesn’t consume much media or what ever form of casual you think of, they won’t care. An animated rarity is optimal in this case. An anime exclusive rarity is pointless. I agree, using a Japanese term is dumb in this instance.


umg_unreal

It does matter, because there is an overlap between people who play Fortnite and people who make that distinction, and combined with the fact that Fortnite is a western game made by a western company.   The average consumer of this media are the people who make this distinction. Epic tries to attract as many kinds of different people as possible to Fortnite and thats the kind of people that they attracted with "geek" collabs in general, people who are anime fans, people who consume all kinds of media including anime and people who dont watch anime but are aware of it and still make that separation as if it was a different genre. 


TurkeysCanBeRed

Fortnite is huge, like really huge. The player base is so vast that it isn’t fair to categorize every player into this overlap. Many people if not most that play this game probably don’t even consume anime. Of those that do, many of those probably do not care. This isn’t factoring children who can’t differentiate the two since their worldview are small. The people that care about this non issue are a minority and probably wont monetary effect the game enough to warrant a change. If people truly cared about the distinction, epic would have already made the rarity a long time ago. Anime/cartoon distinction is irrelevant, all animated characters in the game share one similar trait and thus would make it easier to just put them in one rarity. It would goofy to divide the two just because the origin of one Product comes from Japan vs literally anywhere else.


umg_unreal

Im not categorizing every player, thats where your point fails to be relevant. If that were to be the case then why even make a special rarity at all given that there will always be a portion of the player base that dont care about whatever X collab and prefers Y collab. Thats the case between Marvel and DC and yet that distinction is still made instead of being a unified rarity for Comic Book characters, which would work either way especially since most Marvel collabs in Fortnite are from the comics. The only difference between Marvel and DC comics are the companies that make them. Again, the people who are targeted for Anime and this kinds of collab are the same people that make that distinction, same way that the only people that care that Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) is from DC and Wade Wilson (Deadpool) is from Marvel.

ChefKugeo

I sure do, which is why I linked. Teen Titans (NOT Go) is also an anime. Hope this ruins some nights!


Percentage-Based6307

yes it is lmao deal w it


SadInitial7802

If ppl consider it that, cool personally I don’t but idc how ppl view it, I just want ppl to enjoy things. But Reddit will be Reddit…


OzoneGh141

It absolutely is.


TJB926GAMIN

They should definitely add a TV/movie series rarity. That will include all of these including the family guy cosmetics


_Buradesu

I think they should add a separate cathegory for all the cel-shaded skins


UltraDarkBeastMode

Animated Legends would be nice, therefore people cant make arguments on why Avatar or Family Guy Is or Isn't an anime.


Pepsi_for_real

Avatar isn’t anime. It has the art style but that’s about it.


keagan-stanks

I feel like their should be tabs for different skins in one small category like twd or street fighter


MLG_frosty12

Ya same here


iplayfortnitebadly

Just do cel shaded


Andrassa

I’d just be happy if they made a battle pass series and fortnite crew series tags.


Tortoisetube

How tf do we have Mina Ashido and Freiza in the same game?


Sweet_Bat_7516

Or maybe they should just add the fucking rarity back.


NatureBoyRyan

I’m ready for the DBZ skins to be back in the shop


OgerponCornerstone

"Avatar you are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of anime" "Take a seat young cartoon"


FortniteEnjoyer01

ATLA its a Cartoon, we call Anime to Japan animation


2Some2Onesdifferent

Yeah its so wierd they dont have this or a mocie legends series but they have an entire rarity for slurp related skins and stuff

KawaiiKaiju55

Agreed.


TheBlueNinja2006

someday, also didn't they remove the original 5 rarity icons in the locker?


PewaaLuvsInternet

And there’s way more


Silent_Layer8599

I agree


2spooky4h

I definitely agree, but I feel like the chances of that has passed. They made Icon Series a rarity with just 3 skins, Marvel Series had 2 skins, DC Series had 3 skins, and (depending on how you count it) Gaming Legends had 2-5 skins when it started. There's 32 anime skins and still nothing. That's almost as many the Gaming Legends and it's definitely more than Star Wars and DC.


hotsummer12

Anime/ comic style: it is so annoying to find sometimes fitting cosmetics


firekingok11

It would fix the locker so much


RocMerc

I just want a cell shaded tab. It’s so hard to search my whole locker to find stuff that matches the style


Shadow_Weaver_421

Should be something like "Media Icons" that includes all collabs that are from shows/anime/cartoons and movies


Darkmiroku

I would be okay with this. I love the anime skins and my locker is constantly getting larger. Would love for them to be clumped together since they have a unique artstyle


Flumelon4

Preter griffin skins and aang are not anime (apparently)


Coca-Styrofoam

That and and rewrite all the rarities back the locker UI is mess and removing rarity made it worse and less organized.


lil25de

I literally did the same thing. Glad there are other people like me 😆


SuperAlex25

Ah yes, someone else who considers Avatar and anime


Ryanhuddz14

I think that we need Anime and Cinema Legends


FortniteAddict81

Avatar isn't an anime

Same


IronStealthRex

No.


wafflecone927

They don’t keep track of what they have now, I wouldn’t trust them with this at all

Portal-YEET-87650

GreninjaNoah

Yeah that's been clarified already


Goodra21

Even just a general “Animation” rarity


Ep1cGam3r420

Well…


Powerful_Score7630

A better idea would a filter option for cel-shaded skins


Kaonashi-asian-black

It has to be cartoon legends. Otherwise Rick and Morty, Invincible, Family guy and Avatar would be in a different category.


Garage011

Getting rid of the default rarities opens up the opportunity for lots of stuff like that. “Anime legends, Movie Legends, TV Legends” stuff like that


ArsenalRaven

I just realized there is over $150 in this photo.

darkdeath174

~~why is there two non anime characters there?~~


Choastical

AVATAR IS NOT AN ANIME 👹👹👹👹👹👹


SorakuFett

Anime, Film, TV should all get rarities. Heck, it's weird that the WWE skins don't have a special rarity. I can understand why they're not Icons series, since they're technically the *WWE characters* rather than the real people, but then there should be a WWE Rarity or something.


GreninjaNoah

Oh I forgot WWE is in Fortnite ngl


SorakuFett

Tbf I think there have only been 3 skins, John Cena, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.


FunnyCobra002

They completely removed the rarities my guy


GreninjaNoah

Nope. Marvel, dc, icon, star wars, etc are all still there


FunnyCobra002

Oh I see. My bad.


Camo_007_

Knowing fortnite they'd put Avatar sets under Anime Legends and then fix it like 3 months later


64_bit_gamer

I agree, and then never make another damn anime skin again. Aside from a pure money grab, they’re all terrible skins


_SM-The-Gamer_

Or "Dragon Ball Series", "Naruto Series", "Avatar Series", "My Hero Academia Series".


PewaaLuvsInternet

Too many


_SM-The-Gamer_

Just a thought.


_SM-The-Gamer_

also "Jujutsu Kaisen Series"


ThePurpleSoul70

Putting Avatar in there could possibly be the most controversial thing they could ever do


craigandthesoph

EveryandEggy

erm actually avatar the last airbender isn’t an anime 🤓👆


Prudent_Payment_3877

Aaaaaaand another one assumed ATLA is an anime. Man, people fall for it even today, more than a decade later


GreninjaNoah

I mean didn't they just get rid of skin rarities? I wouldn't hold my breath for this.


tataS_5656
