Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Probably to appeal to a predominantely white fan base!. I dunno, just a guess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Some do!. Look at the Inuyasha series!. Kagome looks pretty Japanese to me, and so does Kikio!. That's just one example off the top of my head!. The anime characters that have more of a unique look actually sparked a fashion trend in the urban areas!. The spikey anime hair thing is really big!. The lead singer from Gackt is a perfect example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com the japs have creative minds!.!.!. think about that it gets kinda boring drawing someone with ONLY black and ONLY straight hair, drawing ONLY weapons that ONLY exhist, and ONLY if u draw weapons at all!. they want their people to look cool and HOT and im sore glad they drew their characters like that and its also different ok i exhagerated a bit but it still looks good, right!? thats all that counts!Www@QuestionHome@Com Well, i think it's because the Japanese like the whole factor of being tall and slim, and also having big, wide eyes, so they make their Anime characters look that way!. Personnally, i really like the Anime look, it's very pretty =DWww@QuestionHome@Com Depends on the style of the artist!. I've seen anime that looks extremely Japanese and anime that looks really caucasian!. I've also seen blackface in anime!. So really it just depends on the artist and what degree of realism they're after!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Because if they were, they would end up being cartoon versions of real people!. Now that would be boring, right!? Anime is an example of the impossible-- of the wishes, of the dreams, etc!. of the Japanese people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Typically, anime characters vaguely exhibit Asian facial characteristics!. This is to give the characters broader appeal and to tell stories that are not necessarily Japanese in orgin!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Anime looks like the artist wished it to look like, i suppose none of the Japanese artists felt like making there characters look like the Japanese people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com There are a lot of different styles of anime!. I was actually wondering about why my cat doesn't wear little trousers and a bow tie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com because japanese are a self-hating people!. and they are boring looking, they need to mix it up through fantasy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Who knowsWww@QuestionHome@Com their eyes!. compare them and you'll see!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Not all cartoon people in North America look White either!. We live in a globalized word!.!.!.!.get used to it ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com |
