What ever the hell you do, don't use anime as a demonstration of Japan...

Christ, I can see it now. -.-

"This is a picture Japanese person, her name is usagi, she's blond, white, with a large chest and blue eyes! Any questions?"
Teacher: "Yes... are you retarded or is your placement in my class just a clerikal error?"

Tentacle monsters, Japan is all about the tentacle monsters.

What do you have against Usagi anyways?

Usagi is a well known and an exelent example of a 'Japanese' character in anime that is -so- nonasian it hurts.

Not many anime characters are made to look asian. It depends on the series. Just because Sailor Moon is popular doesn't mean it's a thing against Asian people. If Naoko Takeuchi decided to make her a blonde haired blue eyed herione then who cares?

Besides most people I know don't associate characters as Japanese, they associate the style of anime as Japanese.

Dosn't mean that a lot of anime is a bad example of life in Japan.

That's my main problem, people thinking that if you watch enough anime, you learn ALL about Japan. This is of course, a falsehood.

Imagine someone from Japan learning what it's like to be an American from, say, the Fox Network. :\
