She's Taiwanese.

That's like a Guatemalan person saying they aren't Mexican, it's the same shit senpai

...

They rightfully acknowledge that chinese are below them

Only ones I can think of are from over a decade ago.

Nice photos of a common war like any country including yours has its own, Pal.

Well I agree with that.

Because they poop in the street?

Wasn't Mao from FMP chinese?

Remember Bloodivores? I regret that I do.

Everyone was Chinese. Everyone had names that sounded like pots and pans fell down 2-3 steps. The plot was horrendous, and the character development wasn't there at all.

The only Chinese characters I can recall in recent anime, other than this abomination, are the prisoners in Building 5 in Nanbaka. They are literally;
>A guy who is Son Goku
>A guy who is a meaner Son Goku
>A gay guy who is a fish
>A black man with a severe underbite problem
>A Qi Gong using child
>A bland martial artist
>A doctor
>A gang leader

They all share one trait; they're Chinese as fuck. Like, they're not just dudes that are from China, but they're tropes with pointless makeup and fingernail polish that are based on Chinese tropes.

Herro, you rike fry doggie?

There was just that taiwanese puppet show that aired. They're chinese.

Is just me or anime used to have more Chinese characters in the past?

Why aren't there more Korean characters? I've seen Chinese characters in some anime but I've never seen any Koreans.

Indians are Chinese because they're Asian

It's not just you. In the past, anime had characters of all sorts of nationalities and ethnicity. They were, in most cases, proper representations of characters from those countries rather than just stereotypes. You'd see a Mexican character who was just a normal guy with different skin color and hair, and he'd have some cultural points (like using a phrase or two in Spanish), and that's it. You'd see African characters who were entirely normal people, just with black skin and much taller bodies (as it's natural for Japanese to be manlets). Then, it just stopped. Now we have school boys with secret dark powers and school girls who aren't followed by tentacles 24/7. Shit's maddening.

Taiwanese and Chinese are literally the same race, cool strawman though

Because Koreans are lower than all Asian races

Is this why electric chinese batman won't get anotber season?

Chinese-American
I'm not sure if that distinction matters or not to them.

Same race is not same country. That's like saying US is part of Canada. It is.

I´m saying this because for example, Bandai made figures for Ruki and Takato for the Digimon Tamers anniversary but not for Jenrya, the chinese kid, despite him and his digimon being popular as fuck specially among fujos.

>muh strawman

not an argument

Anime is an incesteous artform that constantly copies itself until it's almost nothing but the same tropes and character archetypes. Otaku audience doesn't change and buys the same typical stuff again and again so the modern anime industry doesn't have any reason to make different things.

...

They're from Hong Kong

Ni Hao

>rather than just stereotypes

Which is an autonomous section of, wait for it, China.

Because Chinese names are awful. Korean too.
I refuse to read Korean and Chinese stuff purely because every single name and every untranslated word is ugly looking ear-cancer.

I don't know why Japanese seems so much nicer to look at and listen to but it is.

Is Sup Forums really this stupid? Are you saying that people from the Republic of China aren't Chinese?

>in most cases
Also, don't bring up Tequila Gundam. There isn't a single person who hates Tequila Gundam.

Seeing this shit makes me think the nips don't realize they have the same fucking eyes as the chinks.

Here's an entire franchise

proper american

man dont say that around actual taiwanese people
they get triggered
source: im taiwanese

We know and all secretly laugh when a Taiwanese person tries to convince someone they aren't a chinky.

Taiwanese food is delicious, I have to said it user.

ONE CHINA CHIANG PLS

How do you guys feel about those fuckers acting like they own you? That'd piss me off pretty bad

well i live in america, so that shit is literally on the other side of the globe
i still just tell people im chinese because no one actually cares for specifics

>soareyouchineseorjapanese.webm

Really wanted to like geemu, but it's just god awful.

CHINA WIRR GROW RARGER

They don't really. It isn't like Tibet or Hong Kong.
Taiwan still has its own election without CCP influence.
China just claims that Taiwan is part of China, and considering that Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China, they aren't wrong.

It's too many already. Why are chinks even portrayed positively in anime?

There are a few chinese animations I enjoy because they use very crude piss and fart jokes that strike a very different tone than japanese comedies. I also don't mind the way spoken chinese sounds.

To Be Hero was fun. What else is there?

I BILD FOUR CHINA

Taiwan's international English name is "Republic of China" while mainland china's international English name is "People's Republic of China". It's a different China, but Chinese are Chinese.

Taiwan's name is RoC not because they claim to be part of China but because they claim China is part of them. Kind of the opposite. IIRC a long while ago when China was having a bit of a communist peasant uprising the nobility fled to Taiwan where they had support.

I meant China as in the land, regardless of politics.

So, according to your brilliant logic, Russia, Korea, and various countries there are all also Chinese?

Khazakstani people look pretty Chinese

remember nanking

Khazaks will be mad. They have nothing in common.
All chiness aren't from the same group to begin, even if there is a big majority.

All east asian countries hate each other with a burning passion.

>retard MC could have fucked glorious china tits instead he went for discount retard cammy

seriously?

The animation is shitty and the stories are pants on head retarded but, Wangpai Yushi and 100,000 Bad Jokes are kinda fun. Bigfish Begonia is a decent movie too.

I thought Taiwan wanted to take over mainland China again eventually.

Friendly reminder that only han chinese are real chinese.

Does Japan hate China more than China hates Japan?

Taiwanese are a lot more attractive than the Chinese on average, though.

pajeet go home

Dailies reminder that north china is mongol rape babies and south china is rightful yue tribals clay
Han is hoax

Because Japs hate Chinks.

Taiwan isn't that delusional. China is huge Taiwan is pretty small

There are some old geezers who still believe in the delusion.

Watch this if you want Chinese characters

At least there once a Chinese being the MC

That chuuni man is one lucky bastard.

Chinese came to your place and took over your house.
then, they're trying to convince you're Chinese.
That's what Taiwanese are dealing with.
Just so you know.
Who knows, maybe Chinese will do the same to your country someday.
Oh wait, they are.

Because she was an annoying squeaker

...

Not everyone lives in Australia and Canada.

Are you kidding me? There is little to no diversity in classic anime. Even now Japanese believe that every american or british person is a blonde with blue eyes. Anime has never been about diversity and they don't give a fuck about avoiding stereotypes.

Muh

Shame she didn't get more doujins

Well obviously the superior artform takes inspiration from itself

I always find it funny when Americans use "diversity" as a mean to say black people, you guys aren't being honest with yourselves.

You're thinking of Jane, she's Indian.

It's not their fault if US casts blonds with blue eyes everywhere in their movies just because they are blonds with blue eyes. You gave them a stereotype about your people, don't be surprised that they believe it, especially after decades of the same shit.

There are no Koreans in anime because the last time they tried, they were accused of yet another 'war crime'.

youtube.com/watch?v=yo_btds9-kM

Well we certainly all know where the stereotype of the blond narcissistic & slutty airhead comes from, and it's NOT from Japan.

lin min may wasnt chinese?

Being a different political party doesn't mean you have entirely different historical and cultural identities. You're fucking Chinese, and no I'm not trying to imply PRC owns you, it's just fact that you share a common background in every definition of ethnicity. Unless you're somehow not Han.

Half, IIRC

because they don't, you can easily differentiate between different asian races just by looking at their eyes

Taiwan wasn't an uninhabited island before the ROC showed up.

Have you seen a Hollywood movie or tv series from 90's and onwards? It's all diversity with characters from all walks of life. So it's not about Hollywood. Here, i got this pic related from 2chan.

>that one scene where Roberta scares the everliving shit out of Shenhua
I got a whyboner there

This is all recent.
Go back to the 80s and boom, none of that.
Stereotypes don't change like that.

nice try china man

nice try chinaman

>what is Kim Kaphwan in the Fatal Fury animes
>what is Juri in the Street Fighter animes
Dick.

I think she looks even hotter without makeup.

Will chinese animation become a force to be reckoned with in the following decade?
