>Every single white character gets drawn with a bulbous nose>but Johan and Nina, who are supposedly drop-dead gorgeous, conveniently get smaller noses and more traditionally Asian features. really makes you think
>nips are a little racistStunning observation.
>>292192465racial feature
>>292192465What >>292192482 said, the Ideal of attractiveness isn't a fully white person but an asian person with a few white features
I can sense this will be a very high quality and board relevant thread.
Europeans saw east asians and coined terms for them based on their eye shapes while asians noticed our eye shapes. Japanese noticed our hairiness and nose shapes. There was a hilarious japanese commercial with basically whitefacing with blonde wigs and plastic noses attached to them.Concerning the Anime Monster though even the japanese doctor has a kinda bulkier nose so it is not only racial but also an artstyle choice imo
>>292192465Well it IS a japanese manga/anime. If you want to communicate to your primarily japanese audience that a character is beautiful you're going to do it with traditional japanese beauty standards.
>>292192482Monster actually had some jap caricatures too to be fair
>>292192465>>292192482That's not supposed to be a JAPANESE > GAIJIN thing, Urasawa always draws characters with physical imperfections. This is supposed to be a "devilishly seductive" thing reserved for Johan and Nina. Tenma has a pretty big nose too.
>>292194146By the way, the real unambiguous force of good, the anti-Johann isn't Tenma the Japanese, it's the gaijin Grimmer.
>>292192465>If he draws a german with a big nose it's a racist depiction of a german>If he draws a german with a small nose, it's meant to look japaneseyou're the real racist with prejudice in his heart here
>>292192465Anyway, Monster only starts making more sense when you realize it's inspired by Tezuka's MW>Gurai is a Japanese Catholic Priest, who is unable to give up his lifelong sexual relationship with Yuki, a beautiful and sadistic young master criminal. Yuki's malicious crimes have become more and more extreme over the years, claiming many innocent lives, and Gurai is tormented by guilt at his inability to stop them...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MW_(manga)Yuki is a super genius who can charm every man and woman around him. but also described as some demonic monster, someone who's beyond any form of humanity. Early on he kills a bank owner's daughter and somehow, as a grown man, effortlessly disguises himself as her and fools her parents. He also manages to get a violent ideological group (communists) to do his bidding. His master plan is to release a chemical virus that will wipe out the entire world, but his real goal is to get Gurai/Tenma to kill him, proving that he's also a monster.
>>292192465That's how germs lookYou can easily imagine Merkel or that one cunt whose ancestors actually owned niggers in US in that artstyle
>>292194156
>>292193623Here it ishttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YTWVHLH7lhg
>>292192465None of the characters from this series behave like German people, they all act as if they were Japanese, specially the autist detective that looked like Hugo Weaving
>>292195227I think None of them behaved like actual people. And the whole nazi and communism stuff was completely retarded
>>292195227>behave like German peopletruly told like someone who has never met more than one german.As a german, let me tell you, everyone acts completely different from each other. There is no "german" attitude/trait/behaviour. And from what I can tell, it's the same in america and if slice of life anime are just 10% realistic, neither is japan. It's all just stereotypes you're thinking of.
>>292192465The turkish diaspora episode crying about racism and oppression is cringe as hell. Imagine trying to defend that shitty community who hate germany and germans and act like the fifth column of Erdogan. If only these unironic neo-nazi groups who oppress them like in the show really existed.
German children don't have big noses
>>292195523they don't look big too me>>292194156
Why are nips so delusional? All anime characters looks like whites and rarely asian. Tenma himself looks like a white man. Let's pretend he his italian and it will works. Even dark skinned characters looks like color swapped white characters.
>>292195606If we go by cosplays, who try to imitate the anime characters as much as possible, then japanese look much more like anime characters than caucasians do. But in reality they look like neither and you know itI do realize pic is just cherrypicking, but it was the only comparison image I happen to find on such a quick notice
>>292195606>we wuz animes n shiet
>>292195264Happy was his best manga.
>>292195735anon you realize that lot of anime characters are canonically whites? don't pretend you don't find asian versions of fullmetal alchemist or SNK extremely cringe. Even Jojo is extremely white at its own core.Monster is one of those "realistic" designs series which looks very whites even for the supposed asian characters.
>>292195766Well it's true, cartoons and comics existed before anime and inspired them, in fact nips always reused concepts invented before them for their stories.your asian anime dudes with black hair looks more mediterranean than asians.
>>292196030>anon you realize that lot of anime characters are canonically whites?define "lot" because I don't think using FMA or SML as representation is as strong of an argument as you think it is.
>>292195606>>292195766>>292196052The beauty ideal in anime and manga is a blend of caucasoid and permanent nuetonous features, people often fail to realize that Japanese beauty ideals are more 'pedocentric' rather than 'Eurocentric', e.g there aren't many adult white men who look like howl pendragon but plenty of 12 year old boys IRL who have his facial features,. Among Caucasians it is extremely rare for someone past the age of fifteen or sixteen to retain that combination of a short midface, smooth skin, and a short nose, all of which are typical of anime characters.This video goes more into the subjecthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnKdIzSWiz4
>>292195606Anime characters don't look like any ethnicity usually and if they did they'd just look like the characters in Urasawa's stuff. People who claim otherwise are low IQ retards.
>>292195264snickery
>>292196030
>>292195423Ironically, most of the active Neo-Nazi groups are from East Germany.
>>292194875Yuki is Johan with a sex drive, he fucks absolutely everyone and everything in the story, including the character who Tenma is supposed to be based on, every woman, every man and even his own dog, which despite the rape, is loyal to him and follows his commands.
>>292195264divisions smile
Pluto was better than Monster btw.
>good guy is white>bad guy is japanesereally makes you think
>>292203383Nah, it dropped the ball with the last volume. Pretty good though.
We can all agree that Grimmer, Lunge and Eva were the best characters right?
>>292205294Especially Grimmer.
>be single most stereotypically asian looking character>not asian at all
>>292205294Yes. All the characters are good but their stories end up being the most intriguing. My favorite page still is when the dude is almost shooting sleepinmg Eva but says>i wont listen to what the demon says>since nobody really wants to dieI fuarking KNELT.
>>292205956But he is japanese.
