I was watching Frieren and Mushoku Tensei, and was struck by how much more respect the Japanese had for European fantasy than any Western studio.
No forced diversity, everyone is anglo saxon white, even the elves.
If this show was done by Netflix (like The Witcher), 1/4 of the characters would be black, and the world would inexplicably be diverse.

I prefer Elven Supremacist. Anime is the only place where you can just get fantasy like without the need to force in diversity and make everything look like Rio. Wheel of Time would have made a great anime: it's a battle shounen where MC needs to take down the 12 captains, and he gains a harem. It's loaded with tsunderes and large boobs. Every woman would look like those courtesans from Apothecary Diaries.
I'm pretty sure they're all Asian anon but you do you pretending that they aren't Asian
Can someome draw some lines in this image
I was watching Frieren and Mushoku Tens-
Kill yourself, pedo.
I am Chinese American. No those characters are white, except for the obvious Japanese characters in Mushoku Tensei
I’ve never seen a culture so suicidal as modern western progressive culture. I guess it’s the guilt from ww2 and colonialism? But it’s so bad it’s cringy and ruining media
Rudy literally wonders if he got reincarnated in Europe.
Not a pedo, but will kill myself
Rudy is literally euro mix with some muzzle/middle eastern culture iirc. I remember even that chick, what's her name, Japanese masked one, asked if he is of European descent. Nanahoshi? Idk
woman has purple hair
They are aliens.
mix with some muzzle/middle eastern
He's not. Paul and Zenith are both white and come from european-esque countries. Begaritt is the only place with sandniggers.
I am Japanese American. Yes those characters are asian, all of them. You can tell because they're not obese fucks.
They are just light skinned, not necessarily white. Fern definitely is a white women though, considering she's fat.
You can watch dungeon meshi to get a netflix fantasy
Btw netflix is making an shitdaption of Narnia and their mockery of Aslan is going to be a woman. Also digory is going to be a jeet
Welcome to hollywood bro
Some authors just understand that escapist fantasy doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing and can be used to tell a meaningful story while also providing good entertainment.
Japanese writer, japanese audience, asian characters. Pigs are not anime.
Dungeon Meshi is a Japanese studio production. If Netflix produced the anime, at least one of the members would be black, another gay.
Ah, you are a lefty trying to reconcile your love of anime with your hatred of crackers by claiming the characters are white, since the creator and audience is Japanese.
Are you black or latinx?
* claiming the characters are asian
fix
I am a rootless mutt
not helping your case
Pigs are not anime
what the heck!
I think I was thinking about this shitpost, which is kinda true lol
Yea it does fit. Except Man God is Allah. So it is also heretical. If Man God is killed, the entire world is destroyed. So they want to imprison him.
The setting is obviously derived from medieval Europe and all the names are German.
If this show was done by Netflix (like The Witcher), 1/4 of the characters would be black
More like 1/2. americans and their wannabes (uk etc) are obsessed with this for some reason. It's like a fetish or something for them.
Frieren's strength is that she doesn't hesitate to crush her enemies. The room for negotiations are gone, in battles life of you and your friends are at risk. She doesn't say
but if you kill your enemies you're just like them!
Just got to the exam arc, shit is so ass
I love how they respect western fantasy by having them dress and act like modern people, and the setting having nothing in common with european medieval much less arthurian stories that inspired all of european fantasy
retard
Ah yes, classic Asian names like Himmel, Richter, and Übel.
I agree with the general sentiment, op, but those two anime will never not be dogshit
I hate how westerntards gush over ugly characters liek that stupid looking 'elf'
turn S2 into a villain centric battle shonen
characters now constantly yapping mid fights
power levels
Fights that will last multiple consecutive episodes
Meme panels everywhere
le I wasn't using my full power achuallly (again)
who is the real monster here, Frieren?? ;D
Remember when this was a comfy SOL adventure and not high fantasy DBZ?
everyone is anglo saxon white
everyone in frieren are german
It is how it is. Starting off with a neat idea and then completely fucking it up beyond all recognition is a japanese speciality
I experience actual cute aggression whenever this creature is on screen
Remember when this was a comfy SOL adventure and not high fantasy DBZ?
No, I don't. You got fooled. This is what Frieren has always been, under a thin layer of paint.
looks like a ball with wings, and a goblin.
You are just a uggo fetishist that should stick to western tranny cartoons
What should we be gushing over? Your brown hairy mom?
Dudes really come into threads about things they dont like just to be mad.
Sousou no Denken is pure kino.
But frieren is an eastern cartoon
That's what happens when your editors are idiots and want to get the shonen audience by sacrificing everything that made it interesting
have you read the laplace prequel? It's heavily implied that the actual man god was killed and the thing calling itself the mangod is what killed it and took its place
Didn’t know that. But that’s worse heresy, to Islam, Allah cannot be killed.
What if frieren or serie killed allah thousands of years ago?
shonen magazine
with shonen literally in the name
w-wtf how dare they want shonen audience
You meme'd yourself.
Asian? No bro, the characters are supposed to be white germa-AAAACK!
If you think this way then you all have been fooled by the show because the real story behind frieren is a tragic love story
tragic love story
Between who?
muh Frimmel
Nothing in s2
Precisely, anon.
Their names are usually absolute bollocks if you understand German. Many of these guys are just as Asian as Cloud, Squall, Tiffa, Bullet, Earth, Lightning, Snow,...
Frieren is an Asian writer's self-instert. Fern and Stark are also young adults from their perspective, i.e. very clearly Asian.
Whereas ηθεδΈ» would be a reasonable European. For obvious reasons, the priest archetype, plus the whole inversion of being a drunkard who's utterly anti-establishment is a gaijin role.
It's just like Final Fantasy, where they explicitly define Earth and Tiffa as the western beauty and osanajimi even though the setting actually has not-Asians with that village Yuffie is from. Ditto for tons of high school anime where the characters are set in a high school but all of their mannerisms and problems are really done from the perspective of the 20/30-something writer and staff rather than things that actual 15-17 year olds encounter and find important.
