Not to mention Legend of the Gallactic Heros which also got it's start (so
I've heard) from a clasic version of the Traveller game.

 I think definitions of what gives anime and manga a particular flavour is
difficult.
 thus "opening" the list becomes difficult as well.
 Is a retelling Ranma in the golden days of Old California anime?
 - or closer to Zorro?
 - or is Zorro a sentai hero at his core?

 the "made in Japan" might be a start but I'm not sure.
 I would be opposed to "Totaly Spies" for example (French and Canadian
with pseudo-Japanese stylings) but "Roswell: Myths and Legends" would be
interesting.
 Ditto Cyber 6.
  I don't know whether anyone has written anything original-flavour-wise
in sports anime...
 hmmm..
 is Kinsella anime?
 Field of dreams comes close to Adatchi for the love of the game...

the payload then I am unsure of
 I DO however know about the delivery.
 Whatever else the list should stay as a mailing list.
 I'll be honest that lazyness is part of the reason as well.
I really find it hard to sort through various web-sites and forums and my
inbox can always at least find the authors I want to read.
 - and then look for other stuff afterwards.
 A forum or a blog takes the actual sorting process out of my hands and
also takes the stories off my computer.
