Why this "either/or" business?

As far as I'm concerned, I see this as going two ways:

1. Keep the current system. DBZ is a simpler series than Naruto, by far, yet we already have enough bugs to work out. Naruto RPGs tend to be EXTREMELY complex, and ours doesn't have enough activity for us to be turning off potential members. On top of that, it'd just get over-complicated; we'd have to go into chakra types, directional chakra types, specialist types, elemental affinities, clans, and just...an unholy army of new variables. As much as I prefer Naruto, and as much as it...kicks the SHIT out of DBZ...I really have to step in here and say that the system works better as a DBZ RPG.

2. Keep the same system, but rely less on the DBZ theme. Make it just an anime RPG in general, but keep the current races/types and maybe expand off of that with some themed for Naruto and Bleach. Using non-DBZ characters hasn't proved significantly problematic so far, so there's no reason to do a total overhaul.

On the subject of MFG in general, I do think we need to stray away from the DBZ theme. Maybe make it triple-themed: DBZ, Naruto, and Bleach, the three gods of shounen manga.
