Do we really need more anime references in this game?

Consider this: Animes provides with an enormous source of possible weapons/items to implement, many more than those FPSs can give. After all, most (If not all) of the FPSs in the world actually use the same weapon standard implemented by Doom, that is: Pistol, Shotgun, Rapid-firing weapon, heavy weapon (Be it a rocket launcher or a mortar launcher or a sheep launcher, they fulfill the same functions), energy rapid-firing weapon and a heavy energy-powered weapon. Leaving aside the last two (Because they are mostly restricted to futuristic FPSs), this model was used over and over and over.
Frankosity:
But... why do they have to be Anime references? You can suggest new stuff without it having to be a nudge-nudge-wink in-joke. It's just filling the game with stuff that a lot of people won't understand and, I suspect, will put others off. A weapon from an anime about magical girls is kind of going against the whole flavour and mood of Doom.
The Berserk stuff isn't too bad because it's pretty much an easter egg considering how hard it is to find and esoteric to actually use. Personally, I find the Trigun and Jackal to be a little much to all be in the same game together.
Plus, there is something to be said for a small, focused class of weapons. I'd rather have a limited selection of solid guns that have their own tactical purpose and modification potential with a handful of high-powered variants (like we have now) than a hundred magic anime guns that focus the power of Heart or whatever happens in Mahou Sensei Musical Magic Dongleberry Star 3.
Maybe someone should use the Valkyrie library to make AnimeRL.
Thexare:
Can accuracy go negative on a weapon?
Blaster Rifle
In-game Description: "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."
Damage: (2d6)x5/10-60
Damage Type: Plasma
Accuracy: -2
Base Fire Time: 0.8 seconds
Base reload time: 1.5 seconds
Clip Size: 30
Ammunition: Power Cells
Special Attribute: Some shots will go off to the side, like a Mancubus's missiles but less extreme.
Alternate Fire: Single Shot - normal damage, accuracy +3, no spread.
Quote on pickup: I dunno.
Reference To: Star Wars
If negative accuracy can't be done, the entire point of the weapon's pretty much lost, but it could be changed to +0 accuracy (Plasma Rifle and Chaingun are both +2) with damage changed to maybe 1d10.
There's your non-anime gun.

I don't know what it would be about, but I would watch it.
