DBZ doesn't count, Mr. Popo isn't even human As far as I'm concerned. Of course I can easily replace that with Darker Than Black.

New challenge: Give me ten more. It's a rarity cause while the Japanese aren't entirely Xenophobic, they still hold some racial distance from others.

They're still Xenophobic, Homophobic, and Racist to some degree.

also, most anime characters look western. inferiority complex much?

That's because western people have more variety in their looks. Personally, I have trouble telling Japanese people apart. They generally all have dark-looked hair, and similar face. In any other part of the world, there is more variety. I read an article about it once, i'll link it if I can find it.

Well, there aren't many black people in Japan so that kind of distancing isn't unusual.

I mean, when you make a show you aim to relate with your demographic. Just like how in america the most common main character type is a 30-something caucasian with brown hair.

From the moment Bob's birth-cord was cut, every girl's hymen has belonged to him.

There must have been a dildo in that Wii control they found
For when they shoved it up his ass, he began to walk around, aaand
Chad Warden the fanboy, was as ABAP as can be
But the -blam!-es say, that he was mad -blam!-, and talked -blam!- on PS3

all people of the orient are rude, it's just an ethnic trait

So why not make them look Japanese? Why so many blonde hair blue eyes, brown hair green eyes (and yes there are rainbow colours) and red haired and green eyed characters?

It isn't impossible to find characters with black hair and brown eyes, but they all look like white people.


@bobismymom, I'm not going to go "muh racism" and call you an evil bigot because those people need to burn in a pit. I will say however, what you said is factually inaccurate. Japanese people are incredibly polite. I can't say the same for other East Asians though, but the people I have met from Hong Kong are not rude in the slightest.

Meh, Israelis are rude too but that's because life gives them a hard time. Doesn't mean it's a "trait." Being respectful is something gained, not given. Israelis can become nice and Japanese alike.

And on topic here, anime has probably stressed this idea in some form. Don't ask me which. But i've felt it already and i've only seen like 4 animes.

I don't know why people think anime characters look western. I just don't see it, most westerners don't have freakishly large eyes, no nose and rainbow hair.

Anime characaters are just supposed to look cute or visually appealing. Big eyes and bright colors are big parts of that.

Also, to me the adverage anime protagonist tends too look like the adverage japanese teen.

Also, the Cloud Village in Naruto is mostly made up of Black people. At least, all the main characters from that Village are Black. And Naruto is one of the most popular anime series right now.

Yeah that's true. And on top of that they represent them very well.


But just because:
Darui loves big tits. lol COuldn't get over that in the series, and his continuous use of slippery slopes to analyze situations.

I honestly think that the Bungie Flood forum is one of the most intellectual off-topic gaming site discussion forums out there. If anyone knows of a site called D2jsp(.org), for example, their "General Chat" forum is the worst. I couldn't handle the circle jerks (it was seriously like a club in there) and the millions of pointless threads.

I'm not sure where that image is, but there was a comparison between anime characters and the skull shape and face structure of Caucasians, Mongoloids and Negroids, and anime character faces are definitely closest to Caucasians. But having blonde hair and blue eyes, or other European hair and eye colours is not found among the Japanese populace. European eyes are bigger than Japanese eyes and again, anime eyes are closer to European eyes than Japanese eyes, and have European colouring too. Their skin is almost 99% of the time European skin colour also. There are some Japanese people with very pale skin, but their skin is closer on average to maybe some Italians who are a little tan, whereas most anime characters have very very pale skin.
