The anime 'Fate/Apocrypha' also has connections to European stories. It is based on the Fate/stay night visual novel series which has roots in various mythologies, including European ones. In 'Fate/Apocrypha', characters are based on historical and mythological figures from Europe, such as Jeanne d'Arc. The story involves a battle royale - like scenario among these characters, with complex plotlines that are influenced by European history and legends.
One well - known example is 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'. It has elements inspired by European culture and stories. For instance, the setting and some character designs draw from European aesthetics.

The characters are designed in a way that combines both traditional anime features and elements that are reminiscent of the European Renaissance period.
In the case of character design, anime versions of European characters can be quite different. They are often made to look more appealing to the anime fanbase.

The storytelling in anime also has its own conventions. Flashbacks and internal monologues are used more frequently in anime. So, in an anime adaptation of a European story, these techniques might be used to convey the characters' thoughts and backstories in a way that wasn't done in the original European version. This can sometimes change the overall feel and understanding of the story.
