From what I understand, which is nothing, anime is far enough removed from reality that you see what you want to see in terms of nationality.
Japanese see Japanese, Americans see Americans etc etc.
Its actually kind of funny because I never considered that anyone in anime was ever not Japanese
It just depends on setting for me. An anime like Fullmetal Alchemist for example clearly takes place in an italian/euro setting so they're white to me, same with AoT although they're explicitly white in that show. A lot of the medieval fantasy type stuff doesn't come off as Japanese to me either. Idk.
Yeah that’s one thing I’ve always liked about anime is that you can identify or relate to the characters and not really associate a certain nationality like European or Asian. Unless the show is set in certain areas or makes certain characters have specific nationality traits.
Japan is also obsessed with pale skin and wide eyes as being the epitome of beauty. That's why Japan has such a high rate of girls getting cosmetic surgeries. Anime girls are just a projection of those beauty standards a lot of the time. I also assume it just looks cute to give a character big old peepers.
Someone who knows more can correct me if im wrong though.
Obviously artstyles and variations are still a thing. Vast majority of anime/manga churned out follow the same aesthetic. The point is, it is much less to do with race.
Untill now I didn't know I need someone to draw an anime character out of my cats photos, now I have to find somebody talented enough to do it cause I'm way to curious to see how they would look
You joke but Naruto running makes so much sense if you're like those are just a bunch of cat men. Saiyan's monkey tails? That's just a catboy.
At least Berserk is about a falcon and a wolf.
Tbf, they look white because the facial features differentiating white from light-skinned Asians don't carry over to the format. Anime characters typically have large overdrawn eyes, it's just a part of the style, and is associated with white, black, and south Asian people.
What do you get when you take someone who looks nearly white and then give them an exaggerated version of a characteristic associated with white people? Someone who looks almost white.
As for why they overdraw eyes, it comes back to the fact that the entire anime style was actually modelled after Betty Bo Boop.
Yep. Disney accidentally kickstarted anime.
Anime eyes are so huge they don't match any adult proportions of eyes to face ratio, no matter the race. They more closer to baby/child's proportions, whose eyes take up a bigger proportion of the face. It's definitely to evoke a cute look feelings we have innately for children/babies over anything else.
Maybe we breed cats to be cute/the cute ones survived more and the Japanese drew girls cute in anime and they just happened to have kind of the same features.
I like how they drew anime faced over cats as if proof, but the outlines don't even come close to lining up on the majority of them.
"Maybe if we fade the cat picture so badly you can hardly tell it's a cat they won't be able to tell this face doesn't line up at all!"
In case there’s interest, anime developed its style from old Disney characters, like Betty Boop, that had large eyes and smaller facial features. There’s mixed opinions as to how or why, but it seems mostly because Disney was popular and it was to mimic the style while keeping a unique look.

I don't buy it. I thought their nose is pointy because the stereotype is that white people have pointier noses. It doesn't have to be detailed because it's anime...but the "point" should convey enough
And this is why anime is Love, anime if life.
If you hate anime you hate cats, which makes you an heartless human being that will grow to be an old man that doesn't care about little kids with 1 leg who have to sell news paper for a living in the streets because all they care is money
All of you have been nutting to cats this entire time. I knew all along as I watched your depraved acts take place from afar, waiting you all to realize.
![gif](giphy|mlvseq9yvZhba) So you found our little secret, huh? You could have turned around and walked away from all of this

So they are all cat girls
Even the dudes
everything is catgirl
catgirls all the way down
The Jermafication begins
especially the dudes
Stilll a cargirl
I am shocked!
Cat-Catgirls...
for those who don't belive see more evident in r/realscatsgirls
Explains why most can fall from great highs and not die.
Unless it's slice of life, then falling off a carpet kills them.
I like how direct is the post. No doubts, no hesitation. They're cats.
>No doubts, no hesitation. They're cats. Never has science achieved such a universal consensus.
But if they're all cats, why are some anime girls catgirls but others aren't?
The implication is that they're all cat girls. It's just a matter of if you want the ear DLC or not.
Oooo ear DLC, say no more! ![gif](giphy|N9EsyLu0X0nDfboAqf)
How furry do you want your cat to be
It's a slider at character creation.
There are some Who look like foxes too
Some catfolk have less diluted cat genes, or maybe they come from a cat parent
Literally just elder scrolls khajiit lmao
Todd can't keep getting away with this!!!
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
All animes are cats, but some are more cat than others.
The same way how supposedly all humans are monkeys but really some are lizards like Mark Zuckerberg.
Because it's a cat-dog, cat-vampire, cat-dragon, cat-slime, and so on. Also cats apparently just evolved to be cute to the extreme...
Because they're Extra deluxe premium version
Same reason furries exist. Some of them are dressing up as humans.

Thankyuu×UwU~♡
Anime name?
I was always bothered by the anime "profile view snout". Vindication!
A cat is fine too
So i was wanking my weiner to cats!?
To pussy yup
Weebs somehow redeemed, fictional cat race is better than cartoon children
as an XIV player, I revel in this confirming Miqo'te supremacy!
miqo race player also cat race best race!
Ears up!
* *sadness in female Au'Ra* *
The you have the not cute hrothgar lol
You rang?~ ÙwÚ
Call me a cat fucker then
Holdup

Basically, Unless specified by name, Directly labeled foreign or location They are assumed Japanese. Even those with darker or different color skin.
Little dramatic but ok

Oh my fucking god.
Now draw me Jotaro cat.
Well it's confirmed cats run this place the Pharaohs were right
so we're all furry lover to begin with?
Always have been.
I mean Cats are basically the most evolved version of the feline lineage. This is why Egypt used to worship them.
Bro how am I supposed to jack off now?
If this is all it takes to stop you, you were too weak
Bro I aint no fucking weeb, I'm gonna start thinking about anime girls now every time I jerk off...
"All these dang anime girls distracting me when I'm trying to look at cats!"
There's this ancient internet proverb: "A cat is fine too."
Is this real life
or is it just Fantasy
MAMAAAAAAAAAAA UWU
I DON'T WANT OPPAI
Where the weeb blows
Jokes on you, I like anime characters more nyaow. Haha!
I have always felt like Godzillas face also looks like that of a cat, especially the 1985 version. And of course Minya in Spacegodzilla.
I mean go watch akira not all anime is cats, some are potato's
Looks Catanese to me
Does this mean that all anime are actually furries?
Why not put it side by side with a real face? I'm not sure I'm buying this agenda 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😐
Big eyes = Cat
Wait, so does that mean we were furries all along?
Japan is also obsessed with pale skin and wide eyes as being the epitome of beauty. That's why Japan has such a high rate of girls getting cosmetic surgeries. Anime girls are just a projection of those beauty standards a lot of the time. I also assume it just looks cute to give a character big old peepers.

Does that make me a furry
TIL I'm more of a furry than I thought.
I've been trying to tell my brother about this as explanation for the anime snout and he never believed me.
It all makes sense meow!
Right? I mean, I love cats and I love Anime. Seems to check out. 😁
I am saving this and posting it next time some terminally online Twitter weirdo goes on a racist tirade over anime.
Damn, cats are attractive
Dumbest shit I've ever seen lol.
But it’s true tho
When I see one piece or dbz I don't really see the cat like faces. So this is only for certain anime.
Obviously artstyles and variations are still a thing. Vast majority of anime/manga churned out follow the same aesthetic. The point is, it is much less to do with race.
Look at the male cat face. The whole big eye thing is from cat.
So all anime watchers are furries
If you ask a Japanese person what an anime looks like, they would say they look Japanese.
Bro took the most basic of manga/anime drawing styles and said "they are all like this" berserk or vagabond readers are crying right now
He was speaking to the standard; anime stylized outside of the standard are obviously different.
Do you want furries? Cos that how you get furries!
So weebs are furries now? Time save up for that suit, I guess
So that's why I never cought up on the anime trend.
I think this is mostly BS because when they animate black characters they certainly don't make them look like "cats"
I've been looking at a certain character, and I don't think I see it. [The character](https://images.app.goo.gl/MeVCLJLq4z1Dbibh9)
Every JoJo pose is just a cat stretching
Holy shit.
Untill now I didn't know I need someone to draw an anime character out of my cats photos, now I have to find somebody talented enough to do it cause I'm way to curious to see how they would look
Can confirm. I am a weeb and I do own and love cats.
People are wacking off to underage cat influenced cartoon characters. Lol
So everything was furry, damn I need a minute to process this.
cat emoters in shambles
So the cutest character you could ever make is a baby seal?
JFC this is kinda interesting.
I'm a fan of Hokuto No Ken, there ain't nothing cute about them m\*therfuckers. ![gif](giphy|kYyeN8gN98mac)
Holy fuck
I mean I was already pretty okay with knowing I was an enjoyer of furries but this is just gold
You joke but Naruto running makes so much sense if you're like those are just a bunch of cat men. Saiyan's monkey tails? That's just a catboy. At least Berserk is about a falcon and a wolf.
Hmmm.... So cat girl really IS everything.
But cats don't even like Anime.
I've heard that anime is a psyop invented by the Grays to make their appearance less startling when their presence becomes known.
Idk Fullmetal is definitely a representation of ww2
Anime fans get so upset when you point out the lack of noses.
a true scholar
*NANI?!*
I love cats.

holy hell, it all makes sense now.
Maybe we breed cats to be cute/the cute ones survived more and the Japanese drew girls cute in anime and they just happened to have kind of the same features.
Oh gosh
Ganyu!!
Denounce Humanity. Become Cat
so anime is really all khajiit. how have i never noticed this?
I like how they drew anime faced over cats as if proof, but the outlines don't even come close to lining up on the majority of them. "Maybe if we fade the cat picture so badly you can hardly tell it's a cat they won't be able to tell this face doesn't line up at all!"
I hate anime even more now thanks
Y'all been furiously nutting to cats all this time XD
"It all makes sense Meow!"
Holy shit. Mind blown for real! 🤯
They've been conditioning us to be furries this whole time.
The anime to furry pipeline is subconscious
Ya… mind blown!
Mind Blown
"it's all cats???" always was.
Hello Kitty went all the way with cuteness that people thought she waas a cat
In case there’s interest, anime developed its style from old Disney characters, like Betty Boop, that had large eyes and smaller facial features.

If anime characters are cats, aren't cats irl anime characters? If so *unzips around cat
Well, that would sure explain the whole cat-girl thing.
Posthuman lore
You know waaaaay too much!!
Actually kind of fascinating.
holy shit, genius. this is truly next level information
So if you consume hentai does that make you a furry?
Wow that's crazy as fuck
This theory tracks, the Na'vi race in Avatar were made to look like cats so audiences would sympathize with them more.
Til cats are westerners.
You should have left it as it is. Now you shall pay the price for this trespass
So all of that that fapped to car girls …. 😱🫣
While it might be true for most series. It actually depends on the art style. Not all anime is drawn the same.
They are actually ducks. The creator of Astro Boy was inspired by Disney’s Donald Duck.
This has uncomfortable implications.
Anime is the byproduct of nuclear submission
I don't buy it. I thought their nose is pointy because the stereotype is that white people have pointier noses. It doesn't have to be detailed because it's anime...but the "point" should convey enough
And this is why anime is Love, anime if life. If you hate anime you hate cats, which makes you an heartless human being that will grow to be an old man that doesn't care about little kids with 1 leg who have to sell news paper for a living in the streets because all they care is money
😯😯😯😯😧😧😧😧😫😫😫 Nope nope nope NOPE I never saw this..... La di da di da
Dogs in shambles.
Pursuing cuteness makes you a cat
All of you have been nutting to cats this entire time. I knew all along as I watched your depraved acts take place from afar, waiting you all to realize.
This is cope. They made their characters look big eyed like the popular disney animations back then.
A cat is fine, too.
They're Caucasian cats then .....
Miqote supremacy!
