Not just for the sake of having them no.
But if they actually have to do with plot, story telling and progression and or character development then yeah. Just like any character.
Sure but it should not be forcing into anime unnecessary character choice should be based on what story required and voice actor should be black as well
Why voice actor need to be black? In anime women voicing men is common and most white or Chinese characters are voiced by Japanese too. One popular voice actress is half Egyptian should she not get to do any Japanese characters since she is not pure Japanese her career would be destroyed
I mean if black voice actor in Japan didn't get to do Asian characters than their career would seriously be destroyed
It's not like back woman can't speak Japanese
Black characters speaking pure Japanese tone or Japanese doing pure white character tone doesn't make sense anyway at least they hire black women for the English dub
Most non Japanese va in industry are hafa so at most you would get half white va for white character thing is most white guys here marry Japanese or even other Asian women. Rarely do they marry white women so pure white one are rare
Not really black people should make their own.

Stop looking for another group to do for you.
It's japs culture. So they gonna have japs people. And maybe just maybe have a white guy Chinese, or indian or black
Jap is slur
Claiming that all anime character are Japanese is not wrong in sakamoto days
main female lead is Chinese and Umehito Nekozawa is Russian from aouran highschool host club and there is kingdom and DBZ which is based on Chinese culture and AOT and vinland saga is based on European culture. And plenty of hafa in anime asoka from Neon Genesis Evangelion is half German
Well I am Asian I was just saying it because some black people were telling me that they want more black or brown character. I was thinking what other's think
It's a aberration stop it. Do the people speak Japanese, do they eat Japanese food. Was it created by predominantly Japanese people.
Chi chi is clearly Chinese in DBZ tien is clearly Asian as well.
It's a Asian culture.
Just because they don't say the race don't mean anything.
If it's based on European or Russian or German like attack on titans then clearly we aren't talking about them.
They go out of their way to say Japanese for misaka.
At the end of the day it's a Asian art form.
Same way hip-hop is black art form.
And you didn't put yourchi in your black female picture
First yourchi is Indian based second I can't post all dark skinned character there are many maybe should had posted casca too they're most popular again casca is indian based
I don't know any indian woman with a Afro.
Black were saying that they can make show on African culture or introduce a black immigrant or son/daughter of black immigration in series that take place in Japan like lu is Chinese in sakamoto day's they could have introduced a black immigrant girl instead of a Chinese one. killua father is Russian while mother is Japanese they could have made his father black while keeping his mother Japanese. Plenty of hafa in anime.
yourchi don't have afro her hair are straight/wavy black people in bleach look different casca kid with gut look white plenty of half Indian kinda look white plus casca have straight hair and only people in berserk universe with dark skin have middle Eastern or Indian culture.
Can THEY make a show on African culture? Why don't you?
White people made their own called comics Superman Batman spiderman.
Tousen (bleach)
Joco (shamen king)
Nessa ( Pokemon)
Killer bee and 80% lighting village
Simon (durara)
Both black dudes from (blood+)
Lilia barrel (bleach)
Rock lock MHA
Yoruichi bleach
Balrog ( street fighter)
It's not no one else job to make something for you.
Why don't you support black creators
Yoruichi is actually Indian she have straight hair not afro black character in black clearly look different
How can I support black creator while I live in Asia? I literally have given you example of a Chinese immigrant being main female lead in a popular manga could had made her black immigrant or have a daughter/son of black immigrant in Japan as mc of anime yes black immigrant exist or just make her/him half black and half Japanese killua father is Russian could had made his father black while keeping mother Japanese. This is how they can even make black character in anime happening even in Japan
Nessa is also Indian based
Stay beautiful- bleach
Watch that and tell me yourchi black
If you want to think that she is black based on one song or whatever even though she look different from actual black character than what can I say okay.
Also why are we fighting over her? Let's ignore I was just telling you how they can have black character. Like make them half black half Japanese or introduce immigrant or immigrant kid
Chi cho is blasian. If you want a black Asian character there you go
Why do you think I want it LOL I was just asking it because some black people were saying that there should be more black character in anime and I just wanted opinion
Oh, those are liberal black people. They don't know no better.
Also don't ever use ja*p say Japanese
Are u Japanese
i'd like to see more, omoi was cool asf - but most people in japan aren't black so it's more just an honest representation. there r anime like afro samurai tho, which was amazing.
No. Japanese don't to other races and cultures well. Just like American movies and animations don't do other countries and cultures well.
There should be more Indian and Chinese actors and singers in mainstream Hollywood.
Sure, more representation is a good thing. I'd recommend Black Lagoon, it has a fairly well diverse cast.
For what reason? Anime is Japanese and most people who live in Japan are Japanese.
Whenever i watch anime or some movie or anything i don't really give a shit if all the characters are black or white or anything. They can have all characters green that won't change anything.
Only if it comes naturally. I don't like the idea of them being there just because people would be mad if they weren't (also I love hunter hunter! ❤)
If anime originated in Africa you could have all the darker anime characters you want.
It didn't.
There are actually some dark skinned Japanese and immigrants from South East Asia are not that uncommon and plenty of half South East Asian and half Japanese. Yes some South East Asian have light skin of course but most have brown
Keep anime Asian.
That's my preference.
Just my opinion.
I don't watch anime so I couldn't care less. But it wouldn't hurt, I suppose.
the Japs don't give a fuck about your woke bullshit
Why do you think that I am woke? Also Japanese is correct term
"Why do you think that I am woke?"
"Also Japanese is correct term"
@disgustingweebtrash I am literally furthest thing from woke
How would you feel if I called you Mayo? As a Asian should I be happy when white person use slur? Nope don't make me woke
Depends on the cartoon, I don’t see why not, I just don’t like when they replace a character that was always white to brown, kind of loses the character’s history and my interest in the movie when change things like that
Most anime character are Asian so if anything Asian character would get replaced
With another Asian? because if they brown but were once Asian that wouldn’t make any sense especially if it’s anime
No, it's just not something that will make my life complete.
Absolutely! Thank you for bringing that up! Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Native Alaskans, Native Australians, Polynesians, Middle-Easterns, and also people of all skin and hair color! #HecksYeah
Not really unless you are talking about all animation in general, I say no to Anime because it's made in Japan and the characters tend to be Japanese.
I mean lu is Chinese in sakamoto days you can make her black immigrant or daughter of black immigrant in Japan yes they exist or killua father was Russian and mother was Japanese could had made his father black or make show based on
Plenty of Chinese and European and half European/Chinese in anime
True but it's not a focus point to those characters where as in making a character a specific race, just to have more of that specific race adds absolutely nothing
I mean plenty of show are based on Chinese and European culture can do same with African actually I have seen more manga based on middle Eastern culture than African one
No I don't think so. Asia is not just a playground for black people we have our own culture and way of doing things. We don't have an obligation to do something for you guys for no reason.
I thought anime characters weren't any specific race. I thought they were like LEGO people.
I think that it would be more inclusive, although most anime is of Asian characters, so the same thing could be said as Caucasian too.
