The comments this has aroused are as illuminating as ever:

“God they are good!”

“High level stuff.”

“NHK has gone mad…”

“Russia is as terrifying as ever I see.”

“I blew my tea all over the screen…”

“Dangan Ronpa!”

“The boobs…”

“Amazing… cosplay.”

“Whites are amazing, aren’t they?”

“I’m off to Russia for a while now.”

“Oh my god, Taiga…”

    how can they talk about international cosplay without talking about jessica nigri or nadyasonika?

    Given how obsessed japanese men are with breasts I would have figured they'd be all over that,lol

    If I didn't saw Taiga's image and her uniform, I'll most probably guess that she is Hermione... I think it's just my eyes...

    Hermione, while not as violent, also has Taiga's temper.

    If that's only aim at Ronald Weasley
    Tsk... hate it when Rowling created that pairing....prefer femslash Hermione and the veela Fleur in fanfiction. So right!

    Say is there any books that details Japanese reaction to western cosplayers or at least western tv/movie/books cause always curious about what they think of that world.
    Feel above is a small look.

    I'm surprised they didn't say cosplayers are weird/freaks this time around, seeing that the media always has negative things to say about otaku culture.

    When posting character images, Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles was the only one without a copyright disclaimer, since it's partially owned by NHK.

    It's ironic how anime characters resemble whites far more than actual Japanese people.

    Don't bother the Japs and weeaboos will deny it left and right.

    Look at animation in other Asian countries, Chinas animation industry has been making some news lately, the Asian people actually look like Asians.

    Bullshit. I have never registered any anime character as a white person because simply put, they do not resemble whites or look anything white. The same goes for Japanese people. If anything they resemble humans but I would categorise them as a different type of human that will never exist but if they do, I'd be pretty freaked/weirded out by their appearance.

    Well, it would be hard to tell anime characters apart if they all looked the same.

    No wonder 99% of all anime and manga looks the same. It's practically mass-prduced by machines.

    You silly weeaboos. The average japanese female look nothing like all those idols and animes you drool over. They are more similar to Sazae-san.

    Japanese could design distinct characters if they wanted (see Chibi Maruko, Doraemon, etc)

    All the "natural" blond _drawn_ hair from all of Japan, Korea and China combined can't erase the fact that their facial features look Asian.

    Just look at that new "Swedish" goth loli character in DOA5. She may have blond hair and blue eyes but looks totally Asian otherwise.

    08:35 Yet all the evidence and tone suggests they sorely wish they were born with some better colored hair and variety.

    So typical. Deny deny deny. No wonder the world thinks squinty eyes are childish fucks. It's like watching a five year old kid throwing himself on top of the wet spot on the bed sheet and squealing he didn't wet the bed last night.

    About the hair variety, it could be contributed to make character distinguish from each other. Also, don't forget there are indeed black haired chicks in anime/manga

    Yozora, Chitanda, Haruhi, Hinata, Shizuka, and so on.

    For anime with Japanese characters that actually look Asian, see Chibi Maruko Chan, Doraemon, and Sazae-San (shows which are FAR more popular than most of the crap showcased in this website)

    The loli from DOA5 doesn't look Japanese at all. You need to look up Japanese girl on google image search. If anything it's a russian/asian mixture.

    Agreed about bias. Rarely do I see anime characters with huge browbones.

    You know this is what Japanese people think of when they think 'white' right?:

    If that were the case they would look creepy like every kigurumi and their skeleton would look quite different from a human.

    Anime characters are just anthropomorphized lemurs.

    Sharp nose, sharp definitive chin, distinctive large blue/green eyes, yellow/red hair, and tall muscular physique.

    All very 'japanese' features.

    Points 1 and 2 are total bullshit; 1 is abstraction (and anime noses still look nothing like the humungous hooters of most westerners) and 2 is pretty much the opposite of the typical broad western chin.

    3 and 4 are merely paint jobs with no other significance whatsoever.

    Point 5 "tall muscular physique" LOLOLOL, when was the last time you watched something other than Fist of the North Star or JoJo??? How about some Death Note as a case in point? Lawlz.

    LOL especially sensitive about your lack of physical characteristic?

    Bitch all you want, whites, blacks, latinos, etc are all more better built and stronger than some bitch made jap. You studiously avoid all those while always trying to ignore if a good sized white or black guy stares you down and calls your pussy ass out on that bullshit :)

    Nice try convincing yourself, though. Funny how you put so much effort into depicting those things then try to mouth off obviously childish lies about 'that's not it!!!!'.

    Jerking off to 'racial' characteristics to feel better about puny self - check.

    Laughably projecting said characteristics onto anime characters which he knows nothing about - check.

    Sensitive to being called out - check.

    I detect a very easily butthurt midget...

    I'm pretty sure that he's the same person who keeps putting the word bitch in all of his comments (seriously, type in bitch in the search box at the upper right and you'll most-likely find his comments).

    It's like Japanese are ashamed of their genes' lack of variety.
