Not only is ya boy into anime but Mostly I'm into Live Action called Tokusatsu...its all the stunts and explosions that people know from Power rangers(the american copycat bootleg).


To make things simple black men young and old face dark realities in America. So when you turn on an anime you can appreciate the bright colors, bright personalities and excitement that you will not normally see outside of anime. There are some dark anime's dont get me wrong but alot of the stuff will uplift your spirit if you watch it.

This is the newest live action im watching now.

funny thing is most anime steals from black culture, music, art, etc and if you knew your history you would know most of that samurai kung fu etc is from moor... nm smh

but I think thats why, you couldnt tell me dragonballz or cowbow bebop or some of these other shows didnt have influences from western culture. I always liked the art and music in them tho..:yeshrug:

I don't know about them stealing from black people other than the music. There's a lot of japanese rapping in anime theme songs.

Half the time in anime you can tell the creators don't know black people, black representation in anime is the WOAT in media by far. They range from blatantly racist stereotypes to completely off the wall inaccurate depictions. Like think about how many times you've seen a black person in anime that has pure white hair or green eyes

There're multiple reasons why anime characters have colorful hair. It makes characters pop out.

I'm old...I grew up with Robotech, Voltron, Thundercats etc.....I don't like that weird anime shyt....but if there is action with alot of violence....I'm watching that shyt....

Anime being exported to America gave the American animators of that bullshyt the push to step their game up. A lot of the animation of that era was cheap and the voice acting even moreso. This is why anime has flourished even if companies aren't all that into it.

The second smartest thing Cartoon Network has ever done was introduce Toonami.

A lot of people might be turned off by the art style but they need Attack on Titan in their life but they don't know it.

I tried getting my mom into it and need to put her back on. She watched a few episodes of Death Note as well. That one's the entry anime for almost everyone who didn't grow up on DBZ or is looking for something other than DBZ.

For those who aren't into it, it's probably better to read the synopsis first before getting into anything.
