The West as Viewed through Anime

  1. If I ask some kind of question, someone will undoubtedly yell at me to put this shit in Requests, so let's just talk about how Westerners and white people in particular seem to be portrayed in anime.

    Forget how in the west girls all have incredibly big tits, why is it they need to portray people from Osaka as sounding like they are from Texas?
    Ok we get it, people in Osaka have unique accents, but why always Texas?
    Why not someone from Wales, or Australia or Havana?

    Kansai people tend to sound like that in English dubs because there are some cultural similarities between Texas and the Kansai region. In particular, this stems from Kanto people's impressions of Osakans, much like Yankees' impression of Texans. There's debate about what region of the USA is most like Kansai, however. Sometimes characters speaking that dialect will have a Brooklyn-esque accent in the dub.

    finally someone who agrees with me, i still think of all anime characters as americans. Hibari from hitman reborn is the only anime characyer who really struck me as asian and that's cuz he's one of the few characters with squints.

  16. They don't look white your just imagining things.

  17. the characters have roundish eyes, non yellow skin, hair colors beyond black, and breasts naturally beyond washboard size; how can they be anything but american?

    reading that over it sounds really racist and ignorant but eh, i'll post it anyways

  18. You mean white people right? Cause American can mean a lot of different people, also here's a video to prove my argument because I'm to lazy to write anything.

  19. I never see those Chinese style eyes. They all has different hair color and eye color. I wonder if the jap are jealous of white feature.
