Welcome to the AnimeFuel Community Forums, I'm the owner of this website Demon fox and lucky for you I'm not here to use my ninja skills on yah, plenty of time for that later I assure you. Instead I'll be telling you a little about this place.

As you should be able to tell by now you are not registered with us as of yet and probably need a good reason to do so. Between you and I we both know you're a lazy bastard and so if you don't even want to listen to the rest of my introduction speech you may as well just go register.

Otherwise here's what you can do on our forums once you've registered. When you register you will be able to chit chat in our forums, entertain yourself with games and share videos with other members. The forums allows you to get access to free downloads shared by members, fast and direct support with video problems from members and staff and make anime requests which are priortized above anyone else's.

There are many more things you can do but our aim is to bring together a community of video fans where you can feel comfortable and make lots of friends around the world. God knows you need them.

So get your butt over to the registration page and join my I mean OUR community. Oh and one more thing watch out for a crazy guy with a gun he's wandering around somewhere in these pages and you'll probably see him if you become really slack with the forum.

This message will self destruct once registration is completed.

Default Japanese Manga Characters

Indeed, if the majority of manga characters are of the Japanese nationality then why does the way that they are drawn make them appear to be Caucasian? It's something that has plagued my mind for months on and off.

This guy talks about the subject in some aspects:
http://web.archive.org/web/200605171...ftheother.html

He makes some good points but I think that in the end he's over analyzing and just needs to get down to the bear bones of things and realize that most styles do indeed make the characters appear to be Caucasian.

I've thought about this too. But if you ever come across a manga that has an obviously American character you can tell the difference. Usually the American has perfectly round eyes, and weird looking lips

i think it may be that it is easer to convey emotions or just easier to draw who knows. if you notice when they do draw a asian character they over do it and make it a joke seems to me idk.
