Why is she white in the manga but black in the anime?
Because of some popular volleyball manga.
>>14189078
Wasn't making her black actually Toei's idea or something like that?
>>14189072
To piss whitewashing/weeaboo faggots like you off.
And to cash in on being seen as "diverse."
BLACKWASHED
>>14189098
But you're the one that's pissed??
>>14189088
Yep, though it was one that Uncle Go wished he had thought of himself.
>>14189101
If her character ends up being totally flat and one dimensional, yeah, I will be.
>>14189088
>>14189109
>the manga was just a cash grab and the Toei animes are always made alongside Go Nagai's manga so you can't call the manga the original version!!!11
>but Toei changed Jun into a black girl after Go Nagai made the manga version
>>14189072
Looks more like some Brazilian mestizo but whatever
>>14189117
Oh gosh it's this fallacy again. The left doesn't look Japanese either. Welcome to anime, faggot.
>>14189120
Looks pretty Jomon to me.
>>14189112
Gee it's like it's Mazinger or something.
>>14189117
there are black Brazilians you know
>>14189123
Yeah bro Jun is from ancient times don't you know
>>14189116
>every post on /m/ is made by the same person

>>14189098
>cash in on being seen as "diverse."
This isn't America. Japanese doesn't think like that. They probably did it for the brown skin fetish crowd. That, and to the Japanese, darker skin represents a greater sexuality. Think brown elves.
>piss whitewashing/weeaboo faggots like you
Umm, no. Check yourself.
>>14189127
>>14189117
That's not the point. She's just brown skinned because anime.
I, for one, appreciate this change, since it helps to make her more memorable (much like Maria's distinctive eyeshadow).
>>14189117
>explicitly black
>BUT SHE DOESNT LOOK BLACK
welcome to anime you fucking dumbass
>>14189098
>weeaboo as insult
>on 4chan in general, but /m/ especially
You're funny. Also, being diverse has never been something Japan has cared about, least of all in the seventies. The people who were involved in the production pf the anime just wanted some chocolate.
>>14189426
Actually, her being black is brought up in the Great Mazinger anime and there's even an episode about prejudice. It's not just a random character design change. She's actually meant to be (mixed) Black in the anime.
Damn, I've never seen a black person in my life but I know all those cool >BLACKED jokes and stuff. Just kill me.
>>14189450
Looks like your place could use a little more diversity.
Should I just report this thread now before it sinks lower into /pol/ shit?
>>14189098
Japan doesn't care about diversity, not now and certainly not in the 70s. How many black people live in Japan, anyway? I'm guessing not enough to make any complaints regarding their lack of presence in fiction significant.
Usually, brown characters in anime are just designed like that because it looks exotic to them. In this case I suppose they thought it would be interesting to also incorporate it as an actual story/character element.
>>14189477
their miss japan is half-black
>>14189477
>How many black people live in Japan, anyway?
I'm pretty sure Bob Sapp counts as a couple of people at least.
>>14189477
They have American military bases.
>>14189503
There's also the cat guy from Wizard.
>>14189477
They have a sizable Brazilian population in Japan, and there's also a sizeable Japanese population in Brazil.
>>14189436
But she's not black. She's mixed. Her dad was a black murican who fucked a Japanese woman
>>14189625
Sizable but still absolutely tiny, with many mixed. They're being completely assimilated into Japan.
>>14189801
KILLED
>>14189625
Why Brazil?
>>14189819
They needed replacement labourers due to slavery being illegal and Japan had a surplus of poor people who wanted opportunity.
>>14189819
Because Koreans got fed up with their bullshit and they needed new low wage workers
>>14189801
That doesn't even apply here you troglodyte. Honestly that applies more to whites since you guys have some weird obsession with wanting to identify with anime characters
>>14189072
How hard did Nagi came when he saw black!Jun?
>>14189841
I don't know who this Nagi person is, so I don't know.
>>14189838
Blacks do the same with every ambiguously brown character in anime, every single one.
>>14189848
Go Nagi, You fucking faggot.
Tetsuya prefers his milk chocolate
>>14189852
Never heard of 'em. Go Nagai yeah, but not Go Nagi.
>>14189625
Most Brazilians who move to Japan are Japanese-Brazilians to begin with, they're just doing the opposite of what their ancestors did. They move thinking they can easily blend in over there, but it's not as simple as just looking Japanese.
Look up the term "dekasegi" if you want details.
>>14189852
who?
>>14189945
Not talking about those. There are a lot of temp laborers who go to Japan to work shitty jobs to make money and then go back to their country. Japan loves that shit. In some cases, they find a Japanese girl to marry and then are able to stay in the country.
>>14190001
Sounds like gastarbeiter thing West Germany had going until they shot themselves so hard in the foot they decided to destroy the entire world again.
>>14189849
>Blacks do the same with every ambiguously brown character in anime, every single one.
Calling bullshit
>>14190025
Whites do the same thing, but they also like to vehemently deny that any character has african ancestry too unless they're drawn in racist blackface style.
>s-s-she's indian!
Is a typical response
They also like to claim that any brown character with silver hair is indian because indians have silver hair amirite
>>14189815
JESUS
>>14190064
>Whites do the same thing, but they also like to vehemently deny that any character has african ancestry
Which is the proper response. 0 point in assuming fantasy characters belong to any ethnic group unless explicitly stated otherwise. Literally only whites and blacks have an obsession with trying to box fictional characters with vague origins into literally white and black. You stupid fucks are obnoxious as fuck.
it is with heavy heart i must announce the /pol/acks are at it again.
She actually comes pretty close in appearance to actual Blasian women, to be honest.
Jun is stated to be blackanese. You can all shut up now.
>>14189072
Because more diversity is always good. Only people with too much privilege would even ask such a thing.
>>14192175
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>14191986

FTFY.
>>14189849
this is literally how it goes
>anon a: so and so is black so...
>anon b: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SHES NOT A NIGGER, SHES JUST BROWN BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY STEREOTYPICAL BLACK MANNERISMS OR FEATURES, NEVERMIND THAT JAPANESE CHARACTERS DONT LOOK JAPANESE
>>14195344
Basically this
That's why getter robo is the best. Getter puts spics in their place.

You're proving his point though aren't you? Calling him a racist doesn't change the fact that black people try to claim characters like white people do. You're even doing it in your example, you're trying to divert attention to the racist response, but you're doing it in your own example.
>>14195344
Looks Jomon stay mad Indon,Filipino or whatever monkey island you come from
>>14192018
Like anybody actually cares about that. They just want to argue about race.
I also notice this only ever comes up when its a female character.
>>14189072
to be pc, what else?
>>14199842
That gives you the double intrinsical quadroverted meaning if done that way
>>14199854
Someone obviously is unfamiliar with Uncle Go,
He likes to do things different and shake things up, but political correctness thats like poison to him
Ariana Miyamoto is slated to play Jun Hono in the Great Mazinger live action movie coming out in 2017
>>14189072
To make her more delicious.
>>14200425
Something isn't right here

got burned by okinawa sunlight
>>14200385
From a lot of angles, she does just look like a white person that someone took a marker to in order to make her look black. I'm not sure how you accurately portray a black woman in anime, but this probably isn't it.
It's a shame too, because white Jun is still pretty cute
>>14202079
>I'm not sure how you accurately portray a black woman in anime, but this probably isn't it.
Claudia Lasalle was pretty good on that front, IMO.
>>14202079
>From a lot of angles, she does just look like a white person
No, she doesn't. She looks like a fucking cartoon.
>>14202090
>Claudia Lasalle
She literally just looks like a generic anime character with Amuro's hair.
When will you people get that anime doesn't look like a real life ethnicity
>>14202101
Anime characters are more beautiful than blacks and whites and so forth. Humans aren't all that attractive, just deal with it faggot

>>14202101
How about Myung's (milfy) friend Kate from Macross Plus? She at least doesn't have Amuro's hair.
>>14203991
She has mixed kids too.
>>14203991
>but she doesn't have black features
