    To me, the anime that I have seen, has always depicted Japanese facial structure and head shape and face color. Me, I have toured several
    Japanese cities and spoke with about 50,000- so I guess what you may have encountered the the stereotype potrayal of Japanese people on tv, magazines and American movies. For one news
    broadcast or one movie or one magazine they will not portray a Japanese as anything else that they have before.

    • Like your opinion. I asked this because the anime I seen showed anime with a caucasian look. Here is a few: the dragonball sagas(z and gt), yuyu hakusho, pokemon, yugi oh, naruto.

    • The so-called action figures are drawn with caucasian-like facial features of hate, jealousy,anger- the negative emotions. This is done because there is little negative facial expressions of the Japanese themselves to copy for anime purposes.
