What are your thoughts on diversity in anime?

Blacks look overly exaggerated.

First, fuck off /pol/

Second, if it's written well and makes sense I'm all for it. Japan is pretty much a monoculture so I know their token black characters aren't for representation but rather for the story itself, like that black Russian guy in Durarara.

Also brown anime chicks are usually hot

Checkmate, /pol/shitters.

I wish Nazi Germany had allied with the Chinese Nationalists instead of Imperial Japan so we wouldn't get stormshit invading this board.

It actually ins't a problem in anime because there's no agenda behind it. When an author uses diversity he does it because he thinks it's a cool addition to the story or because he has a fetish. Their actual race isn't even brought up most of the time because it's all about visual appeal. There's no underlying motives.

>>161508124
There are a lot of things in your post that don't make sense.

It's not like darkskinned characters that have the same features and behavior as everyone else could really be considered a different race.

>>161508591
That's how they represent people of different races they don't need to change everything even japaneses characters don't look japanese, I don't see the problem with that.

Depends on what you consider an agenda.
Killik was added to Soul Eater because the author thought that there wasn't enough black characters in manga so he wanted to make sure he had one.

But would anyone really consider Soul Eater an agenda pushing manga?

They are not representing different races but showing darkskinned japanese people.

>>161508717
This is just one rare case, it's not a constant trend so it isn't a problem and nobody really cares. They just accept the new delicious brown character that they were given.

>>161507016

where did he learn his history? it's fairly well known that japan received ideology from china and korea but that its people were always distinct. sure, you could talk about ryukyu and ainu annexation, but still, thats an extreme minority of people

sometimes yes, but not always setsuna from gundam 00 could easily pass as a darkskinned japanese but he's from the middle east.

>>161508965

actually no, they became distinct through the combination of different ethnic groups. which is what he was implying.

>>161509091
I didn't mean literally, I meant their "race" and background is just an inconsequential random feature of most of such characters, like green or purple hair. Does this guy allahu akbar all over the place? No? So he doesn't really represent a middle easterner. He says ojamashimasu and itadakimasu like a japanese person.

>>161509241
> Does this guy allahu akbar all over the place?
Well he's a child soldier and a terrorist so kinda?

Im cool with it.

For instance, i love the char Tony from Eden, its an endless world.

>>161509241
>Does this guy allahu akbar all over the place?

He's forced to be a child soldier and had to deal with the crazy shit in the middle east so kinda, my point is it depends on the anime sometimes it's like you said inconsequential but could be important like in some gundam series.

>>161506881
As it should be

>>161508717
That is an agenda, but what people usually mean is a toxic/cancerous agenda. One that inhibits growth and appeal I suppose.
Wanting a black character because you know it will get more people to look at your manga is an agenda. Wanting a black character because you feel blacks are underepresented in manga and we should all feel ashamed is a cancerous agenda.

>>161508194
Stormshitters are anti-racemixing; Watanabe said the Japanese are a mixed race.

And some members of Nazi Germany's government were initially more interested in reaching out to Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Chinese Nationalists and later Taiwan, than Japan.

There's a reason this agenda exist and it would make literally 0 sense in Japan, the argument people make for it it's because you can give black people for example someone to look up.
It don't make a lot of sense to me since in South America for example people love goku and he isn't latino, but on the other side you have people like "there's a black character in my Starwars reeeeeee" it's dumb.

if someone the guy making it think it's cool/make sense having characters of other races, why not

>character has to be a dumb stereotype in order to be portrayed as someone from a different race

I'm sorry, but I didn't know Japanese mangaka/anime creators had the brains of Hollywood execs from the 1950s.
