Subject: Do you think anime people look white a lot of times?

At times, I find it hard to believe they are Asian. If most if their eyes weren't big, they would look Asian.

Yup.

They are white. Their skin, hair and eyes are white. There's an image which compares skull shape and face of both White people and asians, and shows the anime face, and it matches really well to the White girl, and not at all to the Asian girl.

It depends on the artists, animators, and overall art style.

Break the windowsill

They look white because anime characters usually lack features to distinguish themselves as a race. Really though they are meant to be asian unless they have blonde hair and blue eyes. Its basically like drawing a stick figure and saying its white, while an asian would say its asian

We work in the dark to serve the light.

Good question. The answer is yes.

Also, they're usually tall and "full breasted".

Implying that all Asians are short?

Most of the ones I see are short. And I see a lot of them every day.

This. Seriously, a lot of anime characters don't even have noses, and the general head shape is just meant to be easy to draw. As for the large eyes they're just supposed to make them look cute, frankly a lot of anime designs to me have more a cat-like resemblence than any specific race.

They don't look asian, but they aren't specifically meant too look white either, they're just cartoons designed to look as visually appealing as possible.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Anime characters never look asian.

Some might say it is biased, but I have seen a lot of Asian people and a lot of white people, almost no anime characters look like Asian people, even if they have long black hair and brown eyes, except for old people. However, I've seen quite plenty of characters who look like white girls drawn in anime style.

For example:

But not all Japs look the same, I don't think it'll be that hardto tell which is which.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It comes from their origins, Astro Boy, which was the kickstart to manga, was artistically inspired by American animation like Disney. Disney always used big eyes and etc, so it was carried over to the original manga, and then the manga style has more or less kept it since.

I used to think they were white when I was little. The only Asian looking anime characters are the ones on Bleach.

I think Sasuke from Naruto does too.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

no.

I agree.

I don't think Naruto does....He has blue eyes and blond hair. Also has tan skin.

I still think they should look More Asian, it just makes more sense to me.

  • 12.11.2012 10:28 PM PDT

In many Asian cultures lighter skin is more attractive. Because it showed wealth.
