Japanese Portrayal of Other Races in Anime

Analyze the different types of characters (and caricatures) in anime that has different portrayals of characters of a different race, for better or for worse.

The first anime that comes to mind is Hetalia, although someone has already pitched that anime as a topic. I'm also thinking about Shokugeki no Soma and Soul Eater, as they're both animes that deal with international students. Perhaps it would be interesting to investigate why creators decide to put other races in their stories, and why it's important to the plot line. – YsabelGo 9 years ago

Anime generally tends to portray different races in an equal fashion with the exceptions of altering skin tones. Many anime have international students who seem very much the same in design as the Japanese characters. – Nick 9 years ago

Ah, THIS is a very interesting topic. Although I'm not sure if this fits into the category you are specifying, I enjoyed Hiromu Arakawa's use and portrayal of different religions and governmental societies in Fullmetal Alchemist. She had a bit of everything: Christianity/Catholicism, Islam, Communism, etc. Adding a section about Arakawa's depiction of prominent social establishments outside of Japan could be worth it. Great topic! – Dominic Sceski 9 years ago

A few series that come to mind that could definitely work with this topic are: Infinite Stratos, World Break, Shougeki no Soma, Girl Und Panzer, and Nobunagun to name a few. – Kevin Mohammed 9 years ago

Oct 12, 2015 Lily It honestly depends on my mood of the day. Most of the time, I’m just laughing at the ridiculousness of it and other times, I roll my eyes – but it also depends on the show itself.	Titillating Anime

Oct 2, 2015 Lily I started writing because of fanfiction and I continue to write because of fanfiction as well. Because of my constant writing, it gave me the confidence to want to create my own writers and I know if and when my stories get published, I’d definitely want to encourage people to write fanfics of my stories as well!

Oct 2, 2015 mahoushoujo I really want to read Angelic Layer (and then watch it) mostly because I keep hearing nothing but good things about it! I really should just get the volumes…	Top 5 Titles from CLAMP: from Magic, Mayhem to AI's
Oct 2, 2015 mahoushoujo Overall, I don’t mind fanservice scenes because I’ve resigned they’re always going to be there. I find I react differently to fanservice depending on the anime I watch. If it’s something that has nothing but fanservice, I’m more likely going to be rolling my eyes. There’s a point where one could become desensitized to fanservice and I know I’ve reached it.
