Why So Many Black People Love Anime

I've been watching anime sicne I was 5 or 6 years old. I'm 28 now. I haven't anime as often as I used to. But I will watch it again soon.

Even outside of America, anime is very loved here in Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. The cosplays and otaku events are increasing every year

of course black queen playing the victim and everything about them and the problem of their country relate to the world like eerybody have to pander to them, dear lord some of you are profesional cry babies

They love it because its not realistic-like them!

the same reason so many white people and hispanic people love anime...

Popo has pointed ears like an elf... He's literally like an alien. He's not a black man. He's black in color but that makes him blacker than any "black" person who's ever watched Dragon Ball. Just because his skin is black doesn't make him like you.... stoooOOOOooooop....

If you have an anime "waifu", you are a pedo. Facts.

Nearly everyone has watched "anime". It's when you seek out anime specifically because it's anime and it's japenese and it's so cultured, THAT is when you retards are weird. I mean most of the characters are 15.... Most of the sexualized females are well underaged. You're creepy, nasty, weebs.

Turns out well adjusted people don't care about "representation"

This video just overlooked the entire premise of "why are there so many black anime fans" by saying "the tv stations had a lot of children of color", which is the exact point it should dive into deeper, but then, instead, it just lists every black person that has ever referenced, talked about or watched an anime.

This is just low effort.

Why are you cropping the cowboy bebop opening and then showing animation from the movie with censored English audio when he is clearly talking about the tv show?

last time I checked, sailor moon had japanese audio

As a black person. I'll always respect Naruto for not only respecting us and showing us in a good light but also making the village hidden in the clouds the second strongest village as well as killer B teaching Naruto how to use his Bijuu powers properly...

i meet many guys from Malawi are addicted to Naruto

There's something about battle shounen in particular that the black community seems to like from what I've seen, though maybe that's just because shounen is popular generally

You can thank my sister to understand anime by watching Ouran Highschool Host Club and my introduction to Akira during my teen years. Now I began to consume more animes that no other Black People can reach any animes that I watch.

Man cause it comes from us

Black and in my experience Hispanic male communities love anime esp DBZ bc the stories are aspirational, even when we don't look like the characters.

Why do black people like anime?
There are also weird black nerds.

Weird nerds come in every race.

The true question is why so few white people love anime?

leave mr popo alone

The thing is in anime, every character is Japanese. This is the difference in eastern and western animation.

Lmfao did they really think Mr popo in dragon ballz represents them? When hes wearing indian get up.smfh

Hey this is super interesting. Maybe my eyes were only opened to this in the last 5 years, but it blows my mind. And black anime fans seem so healthy. I grew up where anime was for the outcast nerds, and most of us were unhealthy myself included. We enjoyed DBZ but rarely thought to go to the gym and train to be like Vegeta. The black community has a special closeness and brotherhood to it, I have been blessed with several black anime fans. It won't be long now until I hit the gym myself. This is encouraging.

It seems like black people like anime more nowadays, but years ago it wasn’t the cool thing in their group. 🤔 interesting 🧐

Piccolo is nemekian not black.

This is actually so interesting.

They ruined it imo

This has always been a question in my mind. Being Japanese American, all my black friends were obsessed with anime and to me it was just more cartoons. My best friend and I were the Asian kids of our school and this was fun, but not special. We'd seen this all our lives. We were into magical girl anime mostly and Barbie movies. We were mystified by the number of kids freaking out about DBZ and Naruto.

They forgot to mention about the whole Asian community besides Japan lmao. Which is even bigger.

Anime is also huge in India 😁😁😁

For a long time I always assumed anime/Japanese cartoons appealed to creepy, perverted white men who like it for the fanservice and martial arts thinking they're some kind of sensei?

Sure $20 billion dollars globally but that doesnt mean its all from black people. If you guys bought and consumed manga and anime and spent that much money then Japan would give a shit about your opinions. But until then Anime will and has always been about the Japenese audience. They dont care about white or black people and there stupid western lgbt, blm woke shit.

Black people can resonate withe struggles of the protagonists thats why.

I didn't know there was a Dreamcom. How cool is that?!? I don't consider myself as a nerd but I love a good anime. Sometimes, I will watch it over regular TV series.

I love that Japanese people will literally don't care. Try to cancel them

"why do black people love anime" racist

I'm 49, and have had a strong appreciation of Japanese film, anime and culture since I was 18. My introduction to anime was at college when another student handed me Akira and told me "you've gotta watch this'". Haven't looked back since and still watch some anime today along with my teenage children. Though I love anime it's traditional Japanese aesthetics and crafts, like pottery and textiles that I love even more. I did try to learn the hiragana, but didn't think I could ever visit Japan, so stopped. ☺ RIP Nujabes 🙏🤍

Something's gotta give. Blacks and Asians like each other's shit too much to not like each other ( more commonly Asians not liking/misjudging Black folk) So many black folk love Asian cuisine, music (Kpop, Jpop), anime/manga, movies (especially kung fu movies), etc. Just like many Asians love black culture, black dress style, black music (hip-hop, r&b, funk, soul, jazz, rock, etc) black dance style ( esp the b-boy breakdance style), etc. I don't believe that it's just racism or prejudice, rather it's mostly lack of immersion, or interaction for that matter. There are tons of Asians in America, but there's almost no black ppl in any of the Asian countries.

They like anime because manga means reading.

Ha! Eye opening

👍👍👍

black

本当にアニメを愛してるなら違法視聴でリアクション()して金稼ぐとか
海賊版のTシャツを販売したりそれを堂々と着てあれこれ指図してくんのやめろよ
コメント欄とかこのアニメのフルエピソードってどこでみれるの？みたいなやり取りが当たり前の光景になってるだろうが

Latín america got anime way before 😅

The funny thing is that "Superalloy Darkshine" from One Punch Man is not black

Bleach has the best depiction of black people... watch it!!

I love anime, I come from Guatemala and latinoamerica love anime and also dragon ball
