I disagree with literally everything in your take. No need to elaborate, just use negation operator on each of your assertions.
New thread: Does anyone else know an anime show with hapa characters like asuka?
- labster 5y agoHaha negation is a fair opinion on controversial anime. On haafu characters: Revy in Black Lagoon is. Another Rebecca at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum is Becky-sensei in Pani Poni Dash.
- unixbane 5y agoNice, didn't Revy was hapa. Will check out Pani Poni Dash.
- labster 5y agoI’m not 100% sure on Revy — I just got wound up in the “two Rebeccas” thing. She has Chinese ancestry, and she was born in America, and has no problem using ethnic slurs on Chinese people. She doesn’t like to talk about her past so I guess you can just tell your own story. Probably a better example would be Li Shaoran (or Xiaolang). In Cardcaptor Sakura, he’s descended from Clow Reed; in Tsubasa, it’s even more complicated. A more interesting one is Tina Foster, who is genetically 100% Anglo-American, but culturally 100% Japanese. She doesn’t feel like she belongs anywhere, and the overall theme of Ai yori Aoshi is estrangement and finding one’s own family.
