How do you cope with the representation of your country (or the lack thereof) in anime?

Brody Johnson
Laugh at the representations of other countries, of course.
Aiden Cox
You know a thread is shit when it starts with "how do you cope"
Gabriel Wright
>no Infinite Stratos girls
ok.
Evan Carter
t. guy from whatever shithole is between Estonia and Lithuania
Isaac Evans
Isn't L from Death Note British too?
Nolan Gomez
Feels good to be an American and always be represented as a white Chad with blond hair
Camden Stewart
>feels good to be misrepresented in anime
Kevin Morgan
>Russia
>First Squad
Heh, I even wonder if Europeans or Americans have watched this anime or even know about it. This is the only anime of its kind that was created by the Russians together with the Japanese. In Russia, this anime was not well received, but it was an interesting experiment.
Samuel James
where is turkey?
Jayden Stewart
>created by the Russians together with the Japanese
No wonder no one wanted to watch it then.
Asher Roberts
See bottom right (Arion, et al.) or top left (Asuka et al.).
Aiden Sullivan
Yeah, probably. Anime that shouldn't exist.
Hudson Wood
I don't care about representation and neither should you.
Evan Young
Sour grapes.
Thomas Sanders
>even Lithuania has representation
>czech has three (3) characters
>Hungary 2 characters
slovakia bros...
Isaiah James
do some of the hafu in there even count
Justin Lewis
It's not as if this is comprehensive, I see several obvious ones missing from countries with less than 6 characters shown.
Isaac Murphy
>Lupin
>France
It's unclear if that's right or not.
David Reed
It's pretty much meaningless since Nips never make even the slightest effort to get foreign cultures right. They're always just your standard anime copypaste template characters, one of which is "the Foreigner" that's 80% based on the Americans and 20% on the French.
Kevin Williams
We have an One Piece arc inspired by us so I'm happy with it
