            The designs look like the typical generic shit you see from white people trying to make "anime" designs.
            Which is to say, they're bad, and you only think they're fine because you're probably in your 30s, and thus hilariously out-of-touch.

              All you said is that they're "generic".
              That doesn't explain why they're bad. Maybe it's "generic" because it works?
              That's why anime (and light novels) have 14 different isekai every season.

                Bringing lots of magic, demons and superpowers to everyday Japan is an exciting fantasy, bringing lots of black people to Japan is a dystopia.

                Also there's this thing called 'suspension of disbelief', which is where in order to make the audience buy into a fantasy concept, it needs to make some sort of sense.

                Like if you have a medieval based fantasy world with magic, then having airplanes and machine guns will break the immersion. Showing Japan with lots of black people without any logical explanation will do the same.

                the japanese don't like black people. they have never liked black people, they never will like black people, and trying to guilt-trip them into adding more nigs into their own animation in their own country with barely any black people because "muh diversity" pitches by braindead americans will not change that fact
                adding more "diversity" will just cause them to lose domestic sales and receive backlash because, believe it or not, the japanese don't want to see black people in their animation (along with a number of other foreign countries)
                cope and seethe about that being "unfair" all you want, this is the truth and it will not change anytime soon

                Wrong
                Naruto has a whole village of black people.
                Jojo has a few black characters. Part 2 features a young black kid named Smokey Brown, though he's more of a support character. In part 3 Avdol is black and one of the Stardust Crusaders. Enrico Pucci, the main villain of part 6, is also black.
                In Hajime no Ippo one of Ippo's first fights is with a black American boxer named Jason Ozuma. There's also Takamura's fight with an American man named Bryan Hawk. I'm not sure if Hawk is supposed to be black though. He's dark skinned but he has straight blonde hair and blue eyes.
                Akagi Takenori from Slam Dunk very much looks like he's black or half-black, but there's never any reference to his heritage and his sister is a small Japanese girl.
                Grappler Baki also prominently features a black character named Mohammad Alai and his son, who has the same name.
                Captain Tsubasa had a lot of black characters. Granted they were all based of real soccer players, but they were all drawn normally and not with exaggerated /racist features.

There's a reason Raikage Gold was the highest rating for episodes in the toonami threads back in the day; those characters tended to make shitty arcs better by being competent and able to say "hey Naruto your gay obsession with this terrorist is fricking stupid so we're gonna lariat him to death"

                Phil LaMarr gets away with it because he's black and Toby Huss got away with it because KotH ended in 2009, you can bet your ass that he won't be playing Kahn in the reboot.

                This is true. Kumogakure, The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning is populated by a fantasy race of dark skinned people with colorful hair. They are meant to look 'black' instead of just 'tanned anime Asian' though this is more apparent in the manga. The mangaka put them in because he thought it would be cool and not as a matter of mandate which makes all the difference.

                you really think that means japanese readers would be okay with black people appearing consistently in a large majority of manga? nobody is arguing that one black person will kill sales, adding more for the sake of "diversity" will absolutely do so
                there's a reason the majority of the examples you listed are a minor character(s), a one-time villain, ambiguously black to the point where not even you're fricking sure yourself, or based on actual people so they have an excuse to be black
                the japanese see one or two black people and they don't care, that doesn't mean that they WANT to see more black people. only americans care about this forced "diversity" bullshit, as if diversity is inherently a good thing

                I didn't, but I'll gladly support that sentiment.
                One black background character is not diversity, and chances are the native audience would prefer if he wasn't there, since that takes screentime away from the cute girls.

                Yeah I get that. To be clear I think that I think that the reason you see black people in anime is because it's one of the three phenotypes they use to denote "foreigner"
                1. Blonde haired, blue eyed chads and stacy's with huge noses and boobs
                2. Chinese girl with two hair buns that talks like a moronic drunk baby
                3. homies.
                Japanese people are largely indifferent. Or more accurately, I think they hate all non Japanese gaijin equally and aren't making any special distinction towards hating black people especially more than they do anyone else.
                It's just that that lack of specific hatred is considered an improvement or an agenda by some. Cinemaphile spends so much of its time seething about black character existing the idea that a country's media can just have them be in a show tends to confuse people on both sides of the argument.

                To be fair, that applies to many people.
                Frankly, most people don't like foreigners, since foreigners tend to be tourists, and tourists tend to be annoying c**ts, ESPECIALLY the American ones, my fricking god.
                It just gets weird when you have that one autistic gay fat black dude spamming Cinemaphile for the last half a decade, that kind of shit does more harm than good and just makes it more likely that people are going to hate you since whenever they're exposed to black people it's literally always a negative interaction.
                It's the same reason so many people fricking despise Americans, most Americans do a shit job of presenting themselves as anything other than an annoying ignorant fricknugget, and that tends to make you very hateable.

                Actually it's not the most popular show in Japan at the moment, but close enough.

                Having said that, this character is nothing but a cardboard helper, 99.9% of the screentime are between the two mc girls, even their new sidekick cardboard 'super hacker girl' has had more screentime.

                It's a decent show storywise with excellent production values for an original summer anime, even though it's very ehh... 'inspired' by Gunslinger Girl.

                Most fantasy involving magic goes to great lenghts to explain the logic behind said magic to sell the concept, there's no logic to a huge mix of caucasian, asian and black people in the same area in a fantasy setting, trying to model such a setting after the ethnical hyper mix of California or New York makes no sense.

                The reason we have such distinct melanin levels and other differences in physical traits across the world is due to sun exposure and homogenous gene pools over long periods of time.

                This is why American media has no global appeal outside of dumb CGI explosion theme parks and ADHD CGI cartoons that people take their kids to to keep them entertained for 2 hours.

                the japanese don't like black people. they have never liked black people, they never will like black people, and trying to guilt-trip them into adding more nigs into their own animation in their own country with barely any black people because "muh diversity" pitches by braindead americans will not change that fact
                adding more "diversity" will just cause them to lose domestic sales and receive backlash because, believe it or not, the japanese don't want to see black people in their animation (along with a number of other foreign countries)
                cope and seethe about that being "unfair" all you want, this is the truth and it will not change anytime soon

                If the fantasy setting wasn't based in European mythos most of the time then you'd have a point, but it isn't, therefore having half your cast be black and brown just doesn't make sense.
                It goes both ways too, so a fantasy setting based in chinese mythos would also be weird to look at if half to the population is white.

                just because I'm black doesn't mean I'll blindly support anything made by those homosexuals. I'll just take the racists, they're infinitely less annoying than homosexuals ever have been and they don't pretend to like me

                I would have no issue with the LGBTBRRRAAAPPPPs if they weren't so annoying about all this moronic gender autism.
                But they are, so I want them to frick off, preferably of their own will, but barring that, via force.
                And I would gladly ignore racists to get rid of them because nowadays racists are already widely considered bad people by society, unless of course they put on a dress and insist they're the opposite sex.

          japan, for better or worse, is very sink-or-swim when it comes to their media. if something doesn't sell merch/dvds or attract attention, the plug will be pulled and that's usually it for the project. fans are the backbone of a successful anime, not executives and advertisers like in america, although I'm sure they still have big influences there. if fans don't like a new season, or something they don't like happens (again, for better or worse) it can absolutely kill any momentum and sink the entire project with the backlash or force them to capitulate. there's still cases where things survive against all odds of fan outcry, or where outside pressure forces a change (I think a lot of Korean fans were upset about the name of a MHA character supposedly referencing unit 731), but generally speaking, creators in Japan ultimately make what consumers want and ask for, which can't be said for western productions

      I was just about to ask if this is a placeholder name or the real name of the project, but then I saw the little "craig of the creek" logo to the side. So it's just a special craig of the creek episode? a spinoff? who gives a single shit about craig of the creek? I only saw an episode once by accident in a stream I entered too early and it seemed like the most mundane, inoffensive, sterile EEnE-style "kids of the suburbs have adventures in the backyard woods" shit I'd ever seen. Does it have big following in Cinemaphile?

        To me it is obvious it isn't actually trying to look like anime but trying to look 'anime inspired'. There are plenty of artists that can draw in an anime art style and the Korean animators that everything is outsourced to can definitely do it, so the art style is a deliberate choice. Most of the time that we something 'anime' in Western media it isn't deliberately aiming to look exactly like anime and failing just borrowing certain aesthetic elements to convey intent.

      This is just fricking lame. They didn't even exaggerate any of the character's feature to really make them feel like anime characters. Even Billy and Mandy did that pretty well at that in an episode that will be old enough to vote in a couple of months but the CotC crew just slapped the designs onto basic anime teens with little to no alterations.

They don't want western shit spilling into the anime market. They tried that a while back, and it backfired horribly. Every venture they make from non-Japanese (not even just western, but Korean shit too) is all placed under separate divisions because they don't want things diluting the "brand" of anime and how hard it is defended by fans. I have seen this shit, heard these business strategies and talked to these executives myself.

    >Almost every Black person in anime is named Bob
    On the one hand I can believe that because of how inexplicably popular Bob Sapp was over there but on the other hand I can't think of any other examples than Makihara.

      I was mostly joking but a weird amount of black bit players in anime are named Bob. There was a Bob in Speed Grapher, a Bob in the group of black dudes that show up as canon fodder in the middle of Gantz, a Bob in Sket Dance and I know there are more than a few I am forgetting about since most of them show up and leave a scene or two later.

    Listen I think anime is great but Jesus seeing western animators try to copy it and brand it is so pathetic. Why can't we have cartoons animated in something like the bones art style, or zita space girl, or Anyas ghost, or if you want to make it less "cartoony" look at pic related for inspiration, or other art in general that isn't just anime. But this is CN so obviously they're just chasing trends. no one wants to see western "anime"

      >Anyas ghost
      I get you for that animation style. Imagine not having to be bother too much with details. You can make the animation super gorgeous. However I think that the well has been already poison. These young animators only watch anime. The don't look for other references and inspirations. They just turn on Crunchyroll and HBO Max, and dive into their anime binge and that is it. They don't want western because they never grew up with western influences. Only great Nippon.

    >Diversity is important everywhere, and ironically the US is one of the only places where there seems to be high focus on it in mainstream media, even if that's a result of there being a lot of tension. Queer people exist in other countries, immigrants exist in other countries, and black people absolutely exist in other predominantly white western countries. It's just that in those countries the status quo is so dominant that it's a lot harder to get the ball rolling on any meaningful conversation.

    That's a stunning and brave message,anon. Now pack your shit, the studio is downsizing. And need to be out of here in a hour.

      Art is a fantasy where new-age thinkers always escape to, since the dawn of time. Traditionists just took control of it for a while via the church but it's always the weirdos of a given generation who would have the dedication to do that shit.

    Boondocks was an American show that (imo) properly imitated the "anime style". A good amount of people loved it, and it was a majority black show to boot.
