    Default Anime made westerners realize and believe that they are ugly to Asians

    This is proven by most westerners who Cosplay are prefer to imitate Asians Anime/Asian characters and not their own cartoon/western characters which can be seen at their western Cosplay websites such as www.cosplay.com . As for Asians almost all of Asians who Cosplay are prefer to imitate Asians own Anime/Asian characters which can be seen at Asians Cosplay websites such as http://curecos.com

    This is maybe also why westerners have to scam in order to be "famous" cosplaying Anime/Asian characters http://www.antiwc.net/group/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3041

    I'll suspend studying for this travesty of logic.

    "Most westerners who cosplayers" are cosplaying charachters whose looks aren't usually limited to a single facial structure. Their origins might be asian, but can you really say this looks strictly like an asian person?

    I'll presume you're just trolling here with your first post. But what the heck.

    First, one of the interesting things about anime is the blending of Western and Japanese culture as it was influenced early on by western animation. So you wind up with the big eyes small mouth thing and consequently...well lets just say Sailor Moon isn't exactly sporting what one could consider stereotypical asian features.

    You screwed that link up. We're you trying to link to this site?

    Anyway while it's nice to see some anime characters (who may or may not look asian to start with), they only make up a modest fractions of cosplayers in the US. Maybe if you're at an anime specific thing it's be different. But you can look up something like comicon to get a feel for a more typical blend.

    It is very ridiculous whenever there is someone said that Anime have something to do with western stuff because among all Asians Japanese the one most one who believe that westerners are unattractive.

    The reason western games not sell well in Japan is the same reason why western cartoon not sell well in Japan because western games and cartoon characters which made by westerners based on themselves are not cute, while Japanese prefer cuteness and also believe westerners are not cute. Another evidences of this are :
    - Japanese prefer to Cosplay Anime/Asian characters and not cartoon/western characters.
    - Japanese not choosing any westerners to form the sister group for AKB48 and instead choosing other Asians such as Indonesian and Chinese.
    - Dolls, action figures and other figurines that are based on westerners are also not sell well in Japan.
    - Etc

    And di you all know what writen in the Japanese Anime museum in Tokyo about the origin of Anime? What writen on it have nothing to do with westerners, Japanese also believe that Anime characters are based on Japanese.

    Right, because Eren Jeager and Lelouche are Japanese. You're having a really hard time dealing with someone dressing up like fictional characters being more please to some than others.

    Maybe they forgot their password and that's why it was Kajune2 who made this thread that the forum tagged as similar to this one
    http://www.animeforum.com/showthread...ased-on-Asians

    The other thread seems even more off than this one (without wasting much time on that video beyond in into screen), and again doesn't realize that anime is still somewhat obscure over here and probably 90%+ of cosplayers aren't going to be cosplaying an anime character.


    Though still somewhat odd behavior for a typical troll. Is this actually a thing for you Kajune? Care to share what your deal is?

    Thats because Manga/Anime are drawn/animated differently than American animated cartoons/comics, thats the only reason. In the end cosplay is about how well you portray the character and not about whether you are ugly or not :P

    Haha, what a thread OP....

    Its worth remembering that anime/manga was first developed in Japan after WW2 because American soldiers brought comic books with them which inspired the Japanese to try their hands at it.

    Also: https://www.google.com/#q=asian+eye+rounding+surgery
    If Asians think Westerners are so ugly, then why is plastic surgery for the rounding of their eyes to look like Westerners so popular in countries (like Japan)? Is it because OP didnt do research and is just trolling? Neat!

    Japanese claim that Anime have nothing to do with westerners and that Anime characters based on Japanese while westerners claim Anime are based on them. I choose to believe Japanese rather than westerners who could not even make any Anime and always fail cosplaying Anime characters [ proven by almost all Anime fans especially from Japan not like western cosplayers ].

    As for Asians who do eye lid surgery, keep hallucinating that they do it with the reason of want to be/look like western because in reality they never admit it, the Asians who do eye lids surgery said doing it are for better eye sight, blend with the majority of othe Asians, etc that have nothing to do with westerners.

    If you want to show concrete evidence then show something like http://curecos.com where almost all Asians who Cosplay prefer to imitate Anime/Asian characters.

    yeah @Serated , this guy has a lot of japanese friends and acquaintances that have had eye surgery, and they all say it's better for their eyesight.

    or maybe he's full of shet.

    I dont have the free time in my daily life to interrogate OP's friends on their life choices; I have things I wanna do today, so I find it more comforting to go with the 'he's full of crap' argument that you have presented.

    Okay, what in the Goddess' infinite names are you even talking about? Do you even know? Did you come to this forum and create an account just to spout ignorant nonsense? Ugh, my head hurts thinking about it. Well, since you are new, I'll just let you know that silly, silly people like yourself usually end up getting fed to my wolves. But let me put you in your place first.

    What you said doesn't make sense on a fundamental level. On that site, I saw cosplayers dressed as many different characters. From Star Trek to Bones to The Little Mermaid to Frozen. I also saw some people dressed as anime and video game (both western and Japanese) characters. Okay, some westerners like to dress up as anime characters. You point is....what exactly? Anime is prolific here in the West (in terms of popularity). There are millions of nerdy people in the West who like anime, so naturally millions of Westerners like to dress up as anime characters. No freaking duh. And am I supposed to be surprised when you say that Asians like to dress up as Asian cartoon characters? Does this even mean anything? Should my feelings be hurt because an Asian chick would rather cosplay as Hatsune Miku instead of Captain Janeway?

    So this racist Asian chick believes that a Western cosplayer must have scammed her way to the top because she is more popular than an Asian cosplayer (despite the fact that an Asian cosplayer outranks her). Reading that nonsense made me want to punch a pillow. I never knew that the issue of race was such an issue for some people.

    Well, first of all, Westerners can't make anime because anime only comes from Japan per the definition of the word. So that's something else that doesn't make any damn sense.

    Second, again, this can be easily explained by the fact that Asians like dressing up as characters from Asian cartoons and Westerners simply liking anime enough to do the same. Of course, plenty of Westerners dress up as Western characters; hell I saw as much on the site that you posted. So again, I don't know what you are talking about.

    Furthermore, not every anime takes place in Japan nor should one make that assumption. So, when one "fails" at playing an anime character, is it just because they don't look Asian? Because there are plenty of anime characters that are clearly Western but Asians cosplay as them anyway. So what the hell is the point of even bring up race when it is often ambiguous?

    What is this? Taiwanese and top cosplayer Hyko as Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)?



    You mean this Taiwanese guy is cosplaying as a White guy from a Japanese show? He looks nothing like Erwin! ERWIN'S NOT ASIAN!!

    I declare this cosplay flawed and failed. FAILED, I TELL YA! This is your logic at work here.

    Get out of here, you ignorant welp.

    Other than not cute the reason why Anime fans not like western cosplayers is because they said westerners look too old.



    Is she a 6 years old Asian girl? No think again because she is a 22 years old Asian girl.

    Well, I guess the "not cute" thing comes from the fact that Japan has a different standard of beauty than we do. We are all about adult faces, boobs, and butts so big that we lose the ability to lie about how much we love them. However, in Japan, it is all about being "kawaii" and looking young. Really young. So there's that.

    However, once again, that opinion falls apart when one thinks about how freaking varied anime is. For example, not only is Hyko cosplaying a man outside of his race, but Erwin is at least 30 years old, probably older than that. Portraying him as "young" would be a little silly and even antithetical to his character. However, that is more or less unavoidable considering Hyko's body type. So who cares? Again, using your logic, Hyko's cosplay is flawed on a fundamental level because, despite the amount of detail in his costume, he is young and not White. Does that make any bloody sense to you? Because it doesn't to me.

    Same thing goes for Japanese video game characters (I've seen this argument used for them too). Age and race varies so much that there is no point in trying to make some type of standard for it. For example, Fang (from Final Fantasy XIII) is a 5'9" 21 year old who beats people up. Having the looks of a 6 year old wouldn't work here.

    I think American cosplayer Callesto did a pretty good job here:



    Or did she fail because she isn't Japanese? Does her race really matter when Fang's race is incredibly ambiguous? If she looks "too old" due to the fact that she is American, how young does she need to look when Fang looks like this?

    Well it is true that we don't really have the lolicon/jailbait/pedo thing going on over here so much. It's rather frowned upon really.

    Still curious what your "thing" is.

    For the most part anime fans over here tend to not be racist, and much of the anime out there is rather cross cultural. I enjoy it when they start speaking (or singing) in English or referencing western things in a subbed anime.

    That said, in some anime and the broader Japanese culture you can find a lot of the old racism and anti-Americanism. There are still places in Japan that wouldn't allow your Gaijin self in.

    So there is sort of a fine line there. We're the only fandom I can think of that has perjerative terms for people that take it too far (when they start idolizing all things Japanese.) Though this forum like many others censors them...so the anime fandom came up with another term...and this forum censors that one as well. But you get the idea.

    Anyway I suggest trying to look on the positive side of things and focus on the non-racists (Though don't completely forget about the rest. Although this troll doesn't count as they are as likely as not just some bored guy in Nebraska trying to get a rise out of us.)

    Are you realizing what you posted only support this topic which I think you don't agree with?

    As for the western cosplayers you posted I only see 3 of them [ I turn my image option off ] and I only recognize one of the character which is Ayanami Rei so I can only comment about her, and my comment is she is another failure. She may look good to you but not for almost all other Anime especially Evangelion fans, if you need concrete evidence about this then just ask and I will prove it.
