>be japan>base anime off white people by making the characters look white, making the buildings look like european construction or by using white people's history and mythologies>proceed to get mad when people point out that anime is based on white people
>The characters in Attack on Titan are White with German names, is set in a European city and is based off Ymir from Norse mythology, who is the creator of all titans. >JoJo is based primarily based in Europe and America and the characters are White>in My Hero Academia All Might is literally the generic White guy superhero and a bunch of characters look White>Frieren is a German word and is set in Europe >the characters in LOTGH are White>Vinland saga is based off Vikings>Konosuba is set in a European town>Re:zero is set in a European town and mansion>Overlord is set in a European castle>Black clover is set in a European town>Fairy tale is set in a European town>Mushoku Tensei is set in a European town and is based off White people>Seven deadly sins is set in a European town and is based off White people>Violet Evergarden is set in a European city and is based off White people>Spy x Family is set in Germany>Rising of the Shield Hero is set in a European town>etc.
Bocci the Rock! takes place in my heart.
>>23876916if it was based off japan they would all rook rike dis
>>23876919Trvke
>>23876917the only reason a lot of them are set in old euro towns is because a lot of japs grew up playing dragon quest.Overall there's way more anime that doesn't have euro elements, so I never got this argument. Dragon ball for example is based on chinese mythology, school based/romance shows almost all take place in modern day japan, etc.
>>23876916Anime characters are their own race. Stfu.
>>23876921Goku literally gets blonde hair and blue eyes when he powers up>school based/romance shows almost all take place in modern day japanYes but the characters are usually White
>>23876916Japanese people love western medieval fantasy
>>23876922No they aren't
>>23876916This is an inferiority complex and envy
>>23876925This is an exception since the artstyle is more detailed, but for 99.9% of anime, the characters are their own race.Same goes for Berserk.
>>23876917In LOTGH they aren't all white. The Imperial characters are pretty much all white, but the Alliance characters are all sorts (and the main character for the Alliance, Yang, is obviously of Chinese descent). And the Phezzanese are space Jews, obviously.
>>23876927Berserk is literally set in medieval Europe
>>23876923the only reason toryama made the hair blonde was because he said he got tired of having to color in his hair black over and over, and making it blonde saved time. The blue eyes is just a stylistic choice. Japan is a completely different culture, they don't see blonde hair and blue eyes the same way someone in the west would.I also don't read the characters in those modern day shows as white at all. They have japanese names, speak japanese, don't behave anything like people in white countries do, etc.Sometimes a white person actually shows up in these shows and they always portray them differently.picrel from initial d is the closest I can remember seeing someone make the eyes look more asian, but even then they don't slant them all the way since it's just been the artstyle forever.
>>23876927How can they be their own race if they resemble a specific race that actually exists?
>>23876916Why should anime be anything like Hollyweird?
>>23876932>blue hair>pink hairWoke trash.
>>23876927berserk has drawn niggers and eastern europeaners in distinction to guts who is in distinction to griffith
>>23876916>>23876917Its a business, anon...
>>23876916
>>23876927and guts is literally based off of a famous German knight, known of by boomers in Germany who don't even know what anime is
>>23876930I think Toriyama is completely full of shit in interviews and knew a lot more esoteric knowledge then he let on. >haha just trying to create an entertaining story nothing to see here hahaha
>>23876929Yeah I'm saying Berserk is an exception as well.>>23876931They don't resemble any race. They just look like cats.
>>23876925why the FUCK my nigga mashengo ain't on the poster fr this racist af
>>23876930>Japan is a completely different culture, they don't see blonde hair and blue eyes the same way someone in the west would.Japan has historically had a ton of interactions with White people though, especially during the Meiji era. The Japanese word for anime is katakana based off the English word "animation"It's not like it's just a random coincidence that these characters look White, have White features and that the setting uses European buildings or that they incorporate White history or mythology
>>23876921Even the characters in the explicitly Japanese school animes usually look more like the students of an idealized European school without the enrichment. Well, in K-on Mugi is half-Finn or something, but still.
>>23876916I feel so bad for lil bro, he was legit beautiful and the first though jewish producers had when they saw him is to defile beauty. Lil bro died last year. Even as an old man you could still see the betrayed young boy. You don't hate jews enough.
>>23876916I tried making a bigger one but ran out of space. I probably missed a dozen
>>23876941they famously drew inspiration from walt disney and western animation, especially to develop the kawaii style of large eyes and a big head as well
>>23876941iirc they got inspired a lot by comic books, I think that's why the artstyle seems a bit western in nature. It just stayed around long enough that switching it would probably feel too different.>>23876942I can only interpret like 1-3 characters in that image as too white looking. To me they've always just registered as asian.
>>23876933>hair color means it's wokeI don't think you're able to distinguish what wokeshit actually is.
>>23876916>>23876917Chinks do shit like this and then cope to hell and back with picrel. And asian women stroke their egos by saying "muh white men fetishize us", insane levels of projection. And then call white people "mid", even though billions of 4 feet fall chinks who all look the same and copy everything white people do is the definition of mid
>>23876933that pink can woke my trash all she wants if you get what im saying
>>23876916They aren't white people, white people in real life are trashy, ugly and have greasy stringy hair and dog-like faces, and most of the blondes bleached their hair. Anime characters meanwhile have cat-like faces, and don't act like white trash, and they speak japanese.
>>23876950So then why don't you go back?
>>23876939Yeah yeah certainly.
Also, animation itself was created by white people, it is white culture, and other races using it is cultural appropriation
>>23876950holy shit the second person to say this cat thing. that must be the asian cope floating around online, like this stupid pic >>23876939kek they cope so hard. clearly round eyes, alwyas using westerners as inspiration for their characters (bjorn, goetz, etc), it's so obvious
>>23876946For a reference, this is an actual Japanese classroom.
>>23876916They are anime characters in a case of Western stories, and no Japanese has said they are Japanese.
>>23876927You're a retard. Anime is goyslop to be exported. They're not gonna draw themselves as ugly zipperhead gooks. They'll depict BEAUTY AKA White features.
>>23876955keksome shows ironically do lean into this more (especially with stuff like hairstyles)but I think anime is something like a portrayal of japs but through a western lens animation wise since it was inspired a lot by western comic books and tv shows. I think that's a fair enough assessment of it.
>>23876943qrd?
>>23876952Dude we can cherrypick all day. There are even some dark African women who look closer to anime characters than the European woman in your picrel, take Somalis for example, they're the one ethnicity that consistently has small noses.But I still wouldn't say that anime characters are based on them.>>23876954Big round eyes aren't exclusive to Europeans, in fact a lot of them have hooded eyes.Please just use your brain.
>>23876955for me, it's back right corner
>>23876916i don't think you realize just how much anime there iseven 8 anime you're using as examples is just cherry pickingyou could bring up 100 anime and i would still say you're cherry pickingthere's a lot of fucking animebut yes, japan obviously takes inspiration from western things, as westerners take inspiraiton from non western thingsthis is just how globalized media sharing goes
>we wuz animeWhy are white "people" like this?
>>23876916Even if the anime is drawn by a Japanese person, it would be strange if the characters in an anime about the French Revolution were Japanese.
>>23876917For me it’s Orb: on the movements of the earth
>>23876916just like we got weeaboos in the westjapans has westaboos thereits a give and takebut they do often find our women to be far more sexier than theirs for some reason, kind of weird but we can always trade.
>>23876960The fact of the matter is, if your characters have either red or blonde hair, and blue eyes, they're European. Just like if your character is black if they have dark skin and an afro. Because only Europeans or negros would have those traits. If you have any questions, and this isn't registering for some reason, feel free.
>>23876960>There are even some dark African women who look closer to anime characters than the European woman in your picrel, take Somalis for example, they're the one ethnicity that consistently has small noses>memeflag
>>23876962Bro like the entire fucking Isekai genre might as well be 'European fantasy'. I've briefly read upwards of a dozen of those. They're all thr same shit>vaguely-asian protagonist in a world full of attractive Europeans, with comfy little germanic towns, old brick-building ruins, castles, knights, and dragons.The thing about it is, they don't understand european storytelling or any of that. They just want a manga with attractive blonde characters that sells copies.
>>23876970it's a form of escapism, so it makes sense the setting is something foreign rather than japanese in nature.Also like I mentioned before, A LOT of japanese people grew up playing dragon quest. I think those games are the only reason the euro setting specifically became as popular as it idd.
>>23876960>take Somalis for exampleThe ethnic group that had significant genetic contact with the arab world. Ok? That's a product of mixing though.
>>23876916>using film series Griffith >not 1997 tv seriesngmi
>>23876949I understand. It’s that La Vermeillette Fente, brother.[Google it.]
>>23876971>so it makes sense the setting is something foreign rather than japanese in nature.Bro all of asian media is completely awash in white people. Boot up any chinese gacha game, it's all white people. You won't even see a single character that looks vaguely asian unless they're a cultural reference to something. The entire industry of asian media makes its profit selling attractive european characters. They want to be white so badly it's insane
>>23876968Hair dye and contacts exist. Plenty of non-Africans have afros.Plus, some Arabs and even Indians have those features so.Me personally I just don't like assigning a race to anime characters.>>23876969Pot, kettle>>23876972Oh so now they're Arab? And then the Arabs are European? Dude please.And which group of Arabs consistently has a small nose?
>>23876970and isekai is still only a small fraction of all anime. especially given most of them are from the last decade or soisekai anime before sword art online popularized the genre were more traditional like Inuyasha, Spirited Away, Digimon and The Vision of Escaflowne (this one is western focused). the modern isekai are usually just light novels written by and for people who play to many mmos so the resulting themes of these anime are based around mmo logic being messed with. like "wouldn't it be funny if you were a slime?" or something stupid like that. They are only western based because the mmos they played were western basedinstead of being based around people being displaced in a strange world. like the pre-SAO ones
Japs are ugly and so is their "art".
>>23876972Horn of Africa was colonised by the southern arabs known as sabaeansEven to this day a lot of niggers from that region speak semitic languages
>>23876930>the only reason toryama made the hair blonde was because he saidAnon you know we don't have to magically accept the obviously wrong excuses people give right?
>>23876980this is the same guy that forgot literal characters like launch existed and he forgot the color trunks' hair was supposed to be in super.I believe him on that 100% kek
>>23876939Lmao this sad cope has been seen before and demolished 1000 times.
>>23876977and japanese fantasy games are western based because westerners popularized western fantasy first in video gamesevery jrpg owes itself to ultima, which owes itself to dndbut japs clearly don't have any extra love for western fantasy games after these (aside from maybe skyrim). they still view orcs as pig people and kobalds as dog people because ultima and old school dnd. they didn't care much to explore what wrpgs and dnd was doing after the early days
>>23876975>You won't even see a single character that looks vaguely asian unless they're a cultural reference to something.Now when you mentioned, I remembered the overtly Japanese expy world of the Shield Hero universe. I checked how its people looked like. Not even remotely Japanese.
>>23876959A Death in Venice was an "art film" (i.e. Jewish entartete kunst) about an old gay pedo seeing a fourteen year old boy and falling in love with him and stalking him from afar (no joke, that's literally the plot). The movie won at Cannes in 1970 and when lil bro landed in Japan he was an instant hit with his look. Dude was basically an angel, especially to gooks. Suddenly he was bigger in Japan than the Beatles, or later Michael Jackson. His look inspired the whole Japanese modern bishonen trope. And inspired a later generation of weeaboo pedos and troon "femboys". I don't think it was ever made clear whether the faggot pederast director of Death in Venice actually molested him in the end, but he definitely groomed him. He was haunted his entire remaining life over being sexualized and used as pedobait as a fourteen-fifteen year old by a bunch of old faggots. He died last year.
>>23876946>They famously got inspired a lot by exaggerations of white features Is what you said.
>>23876978>Japs are uglyWrong >and so is their "art".Wrong Howl's moving castle is based on a english novel I don't really watch animes but ghibli is doing a good job
>>23876976>Oh so now they're Arab? And then the Arabs are EuropeanThey have a caucasian skull shape. That is due to thousands of years of contact with arabs. By the way they are also muslim. >>23876977Pic related is the roster of the biggest vtuber group in japan. Look how many white characters they have vs asian. When asked why they have so many white models, their fans will say 'of course, because attractive people sell'.
Rose of Versailles was pretty badass though.
>>23876960>Dude we can cherrypick all dayCherry picking is finding Asians WITHOUT faces that can be comfortably rested flush against a wall.
>>23876987I thought it was mid and missing way too much from the novel. I haven't even read the novel but I could tell they just left way too much of the story out.
>>23876923it depends entirely on the artist and their intentions every artist has various reason to why they make certain design choicessome will just choose to make a character blonde to make them stick out more, or because yellow means happy in color theory so make them blondeand sometimes they'll do it to specifically mark them as a foreigner or even foreign blood. even if doesn't make sense for a 3/4 japanese person to be blondeas it turns out, japan isn't obsessed with race and their artists don't make decisions like they have a consultant breathing down their neck
>>23876958>It's a portrayal of Japs through a lens of making them more white because the Japs saw art made by whites and wished they looked more like that artIs what you said.
>>23876987>Howl's moving castle is based on a english novelYet they made the character as blonde and white as possible. To sell in japan
>>23876988see>>23876992this same list has people with rainbow hair artists make design choices on what looks niceanime characters are basically smilely faces. they are mostly featureless aside from color
>>23876916>>23876917>DEY ROOK RIKE CATS OKAY???>CATTO>NO EULOPEON!!!!
>>23876916Yeah who would do that??
>>23876985>>23876944>someone got to tap this in it's primeITS NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>23876916those characters helped mold what I became as a transgender man. God bless ikeda.
>>23876940That's just a white guy in black face kek.
>>23876995>they are mostly featureless aside from colorHow many blonde hair and blue eyed, or red hair and green eyes characters do you need to see before you understand it? Not even 1 japanese person looks like that, but 2/3 of the characters in their media looks like that
>>23876993not really, and I'm pretty sure data shows most japs don't even view people in the west that favorably, which lines up with japan wanting to keep to itself.They liked the artstyle the west had and ran with it, japs don't really view portrayal of race in media the same way people in the west do.In most anime the only similarity between the characters and white people is the eyes at best. this is the same medium where people with pink hair or hair like yugi does in yugioh are considered normal, so extrapolating race from it is a huge stretch.
>>23876956Kentaro Miura once laughed at an interviewer who suggested a Berserk film could be made in Japan, and then said "maybe if you made it about samurai instead".There are definitely huge numbers of Japanese who see nothing wrong with Slantwashing canonically white characters and are shocked when you tell them a character isn't Japanese.
>>23876988>They have a caucasian skull shape. That is due to thousands of years of contact with arabs. By the way they are also muslim.This is all irrelevant. What is your point? Are Somalis White now?>>23876990>Cherry picking is finding Asians WITHOUT faces that can be comfortably rested flush against a wall.There are like 2 billion East Asians, I assure you most of them don't have flat faces
>>23876916u guys r so dumb, i was just thinking hmm, what if were to catch this pokemon to add to the collection, did some reality warping and now u just stoopid as per usual, of course we ourselves are maturing into zeus-saturn archetype looking old with big belly and beard eventually.
>>23876924This. They're reverse weebs.
>>23876917yes those are set in europe but they rightfully get mad when you insist that all anime characters are white european>>23876923>Goku literally gets blonde hair and blue eyes when he powers upSo?
>>23877004Now you're at the point of coping and pants-shitting
>>23877004>There are like 2 billion East Asians, I assure you most of them don't have flat facesMost Asians do in fact have flat faces and puffy faces with little eye slants you retard. The fact that there are two billion of them is exactly why you can cope and pull examples contrary to the trend, because 1/1000 Asians looking like humans still gives you two million examples.
>>23877001and it depends on the artist anon no one actually has red C0304B in real life but for some artists it can mean they're making a character with a fiery personality i guess red and green just looks good together as contrasting colorsblue and yellow too you're literally considering someone with blue hair and red eyes as having white features. like come on mansometimes people make choices on what looks nicebut thats not to discount that some characters are literally meant to be white
>>23876932>Taiga but worseGross.
>>23877002>I'm pretty sure data shows most japs don't even view people in the west that favorablyEnvy is a negative emotion, copefag.
>>23877008I'm being serious! So what Somalis mixed with Arabs and Arabs are Caucasian? Then what?It's irrelevant because Somalis are still the one ethnicity that consistently has small noses
>>23876916>>23876917The Fujo Menace has deep pockets.
>>23876917It's not 100% accurate but you have the right mindset. Most of these are set in fantasy settings that are reminiscent of Europe. And spy x family is more in a nondescript eastern European country like Czechia or something.
>>23876995>artists make design choices on what looks whiteYeah
>>23877004>There are like 2 billion East Asians, I assure you most of them don't have flat faces?? What? Ok first of all, there's not 2 billion east asians. Second of all, yes they do have flat faces and no occipital lobe. Asian people literally store the brain differently inside the skull, it hangs down the back side. This causes a differently shaped flatter head.
every Jeanne of Arc interpretation in anime is blonde because if she had black hair it would be harder to display her as this foreign beauty with a sword in a simplified anime style
>>23876916japanese animation was always made with europe influence, as it was europe that gave them the tech to produce medias
>>23876930Counter argument: How many 100% asian asians are walking around with brown, blonde, purple or whatever colour hair? 0.
>>23877016no one actually has banana yellow hairartists take liberties
>>23877021Yeah they take liberties in how they exaggerate whiteness to exaggerate beauty.
This is what Asians actually look like when portrayed accurately....it's not hard to tell why they don't do this LOL
>>23877026and sometimes its just to look nice, not with any intention to make the character white although sometimes its both like >>23877018not realistic, but anime isn't realistic
And then you see this nigga
>>23877031Listen, Wolf Brigade was great.
>>23876916>no jóhanshit collage
>>23876916excuse me, who the fuck are you quoting?
>>23877188Two same numbers!
