Are you happy with the portrayal of your people in anime?
>>282305062
Nope, most of it is horrible or stereotypical. Theres somGood ones. Look, I’m not asking for representation for black people from a homogeneous xenophobic nation with their own values. I don’t even ask for representation in American movies anymore. But I’d like it to at least be respectful representation whenever it’s had. Japs love American culture, and black peoples make up a lot of that culture.
>>282305062I don't recall that my people have ever been depicted in anime I've watched. I guess the 90s Moomins anime might count, and that's a pretty decent portrayal.
>>282305180This is done correctly.
>>282305180Here you go bro she's Black, American and plays basketball. Like 7ft tall or some shit too. Anime coming next season.
>>282305062Can't complain , jakko/ choco love was alright. At least most black anime characters don't feel like malicious mockery. I like black beard
>>282305562Cool. Also , another thing I’ve encountered over the years. I have a hard time telling who’s black. A lot of dark skin characters seem to just be gyarus or tanned.And it’s hard to tell if someone’s black if their hair is straight.Like, there used to be arguments whether yoruicihi from bleach was black or Indian or something, or even dark skin middle eastern kek
>>282305062they only make the girls attractive if the charecters black
Every Russian is an emotionless silver/blondehaired character which I suppose is a much kinder portrayal than some other options
>>282305653Filthy nigger.
>>282305693If they don't explicitly say they're black then they're japanese. Black people need to stop pretending everyone is supposed to be them. I see people seething over how characters are drawn on xitter all the time. Look at the MHA artist drawing Mirko and all the comments seething she's too "white" like she's Japanese and tanned.
>>282305062>your peopleWeeaboos? The terminally online? Fa/tg/uys?
>>282305745Im your brother.
>>282305770i think horikoshi confirmed she’s filipino but yeah
>>282305706watch more anime/manga
>>282305062am Australian, yes
>>282305421I still find funny that Japan is the country with the most flamenco dance schools
>>282306071Well, flamenco outfits look nice on women so...
>>282305062it could have been worse so ok
>>282305062I'm ambivalent because the portrayal is neither good nor bad, it simply has nothing to do with its subject. Frieren is the most spiritually Russian character I've ever seen.
>>282306236What about hetalia? or durarara´s sushi chef?
Yin from Darker than Black is Finnish.
>>282305062I only remember there being an Israeli Jew background character in Darker Than Black
>>282306236girls n panzer!!!
>>282306280Meant for >>282305409
>USA >loud jerks, bodybuilders and happy go lucky bakasThis is fine.
>>282305062Cute murder loli so I am ok with it.
>>282306303Post your nose.
>>282306273>Durarara sushi chefTo me that's more like the TF2 Demoman or Raiden from Metal Gear. It's just absurd but they're so likeable as characters that it doesn't matter.
>>282306530>Loli
>>282305180>respectful representation whenever it’s had.Imagine giving a single fuck about that lol. I doubt the jap themselves care that much about the hundreds of pieces of media that don't portray them in a "respectful" manner.
>>282305062>Are you happy with the portrayal of your people in anime?Yes.
>>282306880Are you punch drunk as well?
>>282305180>and black peoples make up a lot of that cultureYou'd have to given that you do 50 while only being 13.
>>282306880Also these guys.>>282306921Always.
>>282305062>ZeroYes
> chink.yeah, i don’t think we’re in anime much and if we are i can’t rlly tell because all the character’s are asians with black hair, only time i can tell is when they make them overtly traditional Chinese and i always like aesthetic of those character’s
>>282306992There is Wong in PingPong(he is even played by a chink).
I dont think Norwegians get portrayed all that much.
>>282307013>WongMeant to type Kong.
>>282306992???
>portrayed as sociopaths who usually does it for money or some shitYup, it's pretty accurate to a tee.>>282306992A ton of fucking 90's anime had chink shit or is based on it. I would know since I grew up watching those.
>>282307104>>282307240>>282307013when i said i dont think i meant i kind of don’t know unless its explicit or overt abt it, i get what i said was probably over exaggerated though since were displayed more then most groups (especially considering we are one of the biggest groups of people in the world)
>>282307104That is suposed to be not-china 1000 years ago.
>>282306992I felt ren tao was meant be Chinese guy with his weapons and ghost , and last name
I literally never seen a single "good" Gook in anime and when they shows up always depicted as antagonist to our jap MC.Funny since Chinese and Russian anime characters treated better and sometimes part of main characters but never a Korean
>>282305062Yes.God bless America and God save Dejiko-chan!!!
More or less.
>>282306992While neither were explicitly stated to be, Goku from Dragon Ball and Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken are chinese. And those two are the pretty popular and well known I'd say, well just not accurate to the average chink.
>>282305062Aspirational
>>282307794What? I thought Goku was a Saiyan...
the british generally get to be cool villains
>Chad>Ricardo MartinezYeah. For what little portrayal there is, at least it's positive.
>>282307665Green dragon from yona of the dawn.
>>282305180>>282305180There's plenty of representation in 70s-90s mecha anime. I was shocked when I saw Macross, Macross Plus, Eureka 7, and Brain Powerd.
>>282308406oh damn and they even did the hair right
>>282307464First name as well...
>>282305062India gets mentioned a lot but I don't think there's any major characters
>>282305409TRVKE: Moomins aren't really even Finnish, they're based on the author herself, her Fennoswede circle and their way of life.
>>282308589BRO?!
>>282308435Metal Armor Dragonar (lead character and nothing bad happens to him from start to finish)Brain Powered (actual mecha pilot who pilots an nigerian deity named ogun)Macross Plus (not a lead but an important side character)Great Mazinger (lead character throughout the series)ZZ Gundam (only appear for one episode and they're on the antagonist faction)Macross (important side character)Gundam 79 (important character but black guy dies lol, warning if you don't like that cliche)Eureka Seven (??)
>>282305062It's very stereotypical but I can't complain
>>282307762That's one comfy as hell anime that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough
Japs love my people, why would I have a problem with representation
>>282308706She isn't Italian, she's a Japanese schoolgirl LARPing as an Italian.>>282308681>Gundam 79Ryu Jose isn't really supposed to be black, if anything he's a Hispanic Japanese man
>>282308777Ah, so you are a fellow Japanese yourself.
>>282305062yes, i look like this and do this
>>282308777Pic related is japanese though.
>>282308777not anime or manga
>>282308589some reps
>>282305062I don't believe there are kazakh anime characters, so I will pretend this elf is kazakh because she definitely looks the part
>>282308808Tomino in an interview said that he fought for him to be black, but networks wouldn't allow it and he got pissed. It's why his live action counterpart is blackhttps://x.com/tayuta0079/status/1373832179130765314
>>282305180>be black>your superhuman cyborg power is the ability to swim
Pretty well all things cosidered actually
>>282305062There's Susie from LWA and a boxer in an arc of Ippo that's never getting animated.
>>282308808>She isn't Italian, she's a Japanese schoolgirl LARPing as an Italian.I know, I just like her
>>282305180Go and watch Bleach
>>282305180Americans also love Japanese culture
>>282305180Black people culture is basically>crime>rap(about crime)>basketball
>>282309851All forgiven because of music
>>282309851kek, it do be like that
>>282309142
>>28230694430/70 though... leave those kids alone bro
>>282305062as a white australian I am apalled at how respectful the depuctions of my people in anime is. It is an insult to everything Australia stands for to depict us as anything less than violently deranged alchoholics with stupid hats and a blasphemous relationship with automobiles
>>282311062Australians as they're desperate to appear: Crocodile DundeeAustralians in reality: barefoot Englishmen with sunburns
>>282306236Not enough STDs
>>282306961>>282307762If PA Works had handled Seiren it would've been kino.
>>282306784I think everyone does.
>>282305180I'm Black myself (not American) but I'd have to disagree. A lot of it is respectful, but the very obvious ones are what keeps being promoted/talked about.>>282305693Again because the most notable characters are the ones which are "ambiguously brown" instead out Black outright. You need to watch more anime, though I do understand your concerns.>But I’d like it to at least be respectful representation whenever it’s had. I agree with this for any people
>>282305062I dunno has there ever been a New Jersey character in Anime?
>>282305062I've always found it hilarious that asians in anime look nothing like actual asians, unless the character is meant to be ugly.
>>282312473If this were the tumblr heyday you could make a whole diatribe on that about racial self loathing. god that'd have been hilarious.
>>282312473I think you're just blinded by political bias, my northern auntie
>>282305180bruh every movie has your muh representation when will you finally grow some balls and stop bitching
>>282312601>whiteknighting tumblr
>>282306236frieren is german
>>282312624>Noticing a stylization choice is political biasAre you sure you're on the right board?
>>282312473Tbh your image doesn't look like an asian either. Anime characters don't really look like humans unless it's something that goes for extreme realism(or if the artists just traces a lot).
>>282312951It's not about looking human, it's about physical racial traits. For example, black characters almost always have big or noticeable lips or evil white characters have extremely prominent and angular noses.
>>282313220>or evil white characters have extremely prominent and angular noses.wait a second....
>>282312823Fern is the most German-like character in that story.
>>282305180Literally all I ask is "just make him/her cool". That's it.
>>282306992
IDK. Might see 1 explicitly Swedish character per 100 anime, and I usually don't remember them anyhow. Something more common is characters with names that are just Swedish words, for some reason (along with names from shared germanic languages).
>>282307848Watch el Cazador de la bruja, lot of Mexicans there.
>>282305062hahahahahahahaha
>>282305062Chocolove was unfathomably based. Most characters from Shaman King were, honestly.
>>282308589Summer is still in full swing it seems...
mostly good
Finnish representation:>Häyhä and other famous WW2 names>Kalevala names>Hockey/Rally drivers>moominThere's a surprising amount of them, but once you look, they're not very varied.

yessir
>>282312823Frieren is Austrian. Fern is German.
>>282305062It's ok.

>>282308861Ugly bastards are a distinct race, like Orcs.
>>282325238Bratty shota. Needs correction.
>>282308589Ahem
Idk Russians in anime don't really have any special character traits
>>282325988They're mostly used as fodder to hype up the other guysIt's always >STRONGEST RUSSIAN TO EVER -ACKConstant humiliation ritualVolg is about a good portrayal as you can get
>one chance at life>Paraguayanwell I can't be disappointed in the portrayal if there isn't one ever
>>282305180>But I’d like it to at least be respectful representation whenever it’s had. Japs love American culture, and black peoples make up a lot of that culture.Literally one of the best 2000's Anime was entirely about black people, had an entire black main cast, and nobody watched it, and I doubt (you) watched it either. >>282305062>Are you happy with the portrayal of your people in anime?With the exception of Anne of Green Gables: no Canadian has ever been depicted in anime.
>>282326155The outside world doesn't really know that much about Canada,it's really overshowed by its neighbor
>>282326155>no Canadian has ever been depicted in animeYou're retarded Literally the brother of Baki

>>282326891Another culture compatible with sane community nudism and bathing with cool gods. Sparks the imaginations of certain young nationalists.
>>282305062Most commonly represented nationalities are definitely US-American, German, French, English, Chinese, Russian, Italian maybe some Greek and Egyptian due to historical stuff.If they're blond they're either American, German or English.If they're black they're American.If they're brown they're either Indian or Brazilian.If they have white hair they're Russian and in the rare cases they aren't then they're Finnish.
>>282305062>Austrian and Costa Rican90% of the time the characters are German and the rest of the time they are Swiss.

>>282305062Gundam Build Fighters' Riccardo Fellini is such a great character that it makes up for any Italian misrepresentation past and future. So yeah I'm happy.
