Talib Kweli maybe overthinking this a little bit, But I'm so in Talib Kweli corner that it doesn't matter what he says. I'm still always going to support him.
He really is not. After examining all of the ch*ns and knowing a couple of white guys who had an asian fetish themselves....he is absolutely correct and spot on with his assessment.

dude is hilarious man :mjlol:


at a screening for his sons first movie:
An hour into Tales from Earthsea, Miyazaki bolted from the theater to have a cigarette, saying, “It feels like I was sitting there for about three hours.”

Miyazaki returned and watched the rest of the film. When it finished, he was asked for what he thought. He replied, “I saw my own child. He hasn’t become an adult. That’s all.” He paused and then said, “It’s good that he made one movie. With that, he should stop [making movies].”
got this from the anime thread :blessed:

I fukks with anime & manga though..

I like the style of the animation, i love the dark and weird storylines, i love how violent they get at times.

I watch anime that end after 25 episodes. The story lines are something to see and appreciate. But sometimes I don't like to admit I watch it because it's a big genre.

So when you say anime, people may think you watching little girls in uniforms or that porn hentai shyt 24/7. I'm also told that I don't look like I watch anime :yeshrug:

Nothing wrong with being a Black nerd :whoa:
I'm an anime fan, watch it pretty regularly, I just don't let it bleed into my everyday life, I don't chase after Asian girls and Asian culture.

You good man, no need to justify. I know I watch niche stuff like Gundam from time to time. But you will never see me at an anime convention :scusthov:

Yep. I noticed in many animes the lead characters are blond: Full Metal Alchemist, Elric brothers and their father (as well as the lead bad guy), Sailor Moon, Naruto, Bleach etc. Many of their animes like Full Metal have German themed. They are still obsessed with Germany. Their characters rarely look Asian. Like I said in another thread, they know how to draw Asian looking characters since they draw Chinese characters like Chang on Gundam Wing with an Asian look, yet the Japanese characters look like the European characters. The Japanese are a strange people.

Even the main character to Spriggan (which is a good movie) is drawn as an asian:

He's kinda right.


I actually wrote a paper on Hiroshima's effect on Japanese media in college. Dystopian futures, post-apocalyptic settings are all major tropes loads of anime/manga. And their elevation of certain standards of beauty has a lot to do with American occupation of Japan post WW2.
To be fair, those are major tropes in media in general.

After One piece and AOT are done I'll be done with manga/anime in general

Op is to go on for the next 10-13 or more years though so I'll be on those manga reading sites reading Luffy's shenanigans and Adventures for quiet a while.

The only popular anime character I know of that looks remotely Japanese is Sasuke Uchiha.
