Misa got lazy and so this video is kind of crappy, but Misa-Misa hopes you got the point anyway.
Misa has seen a lot of videos on youtube about anime characters looking white or japanese. Misa thinks anyone can look like an anime character if they have the traits of an anime character. Misa personally thinks that it doesn't matter what race you are, if you have a round face, big eyes, small mouth and a small nose you look like an anime character. Race has nothing to do with it, Japanese usually do look like anime characters because they usually have round faces, small noses and small mouths. But that doesn't mean americans don't look like anime characters too...

Good Examples of girls Japanese AND American that look like anime characters.

See? No matter what race you are, you can look anime-like if you have the right traits. Round face, small nose, big eyes.

Some Asians have small squinty eyes, some don't...and some americans have big eyes like anime characters. some don't. Some asians have round faces, some americans don't. But some do. Don't say that all asians look like anime characters and all americans don't. Because that is wrong. It depends on the person, and their facial and body structure, plus their skin tone.

Not all Asians look like Kipi.
Not all Americans look like Hilary Duff or, who ever that person used as an example in that picture.

Some Americans cosplay better than Japanese people.
So please keep in mind not everyone looks the same.

Misa is glad she is part both american and japanese because it means she wins no matter if people say anime characters look more american, or more japanese. : D YAY!

Anyway. Misa hopes you didn't get the wrong idea. :/

Misa isn't being racist.

Please no rude, racist, or cruel comments. ♡

If you really wanna look like an anime character buy circle lenses. They make you look like you have anime-like eyes. I recommend them to anyone who likes the anime-look.

Not all americans have a pronounced brow line. And some Asians have a pronounced brow line.
People come in all shapes and sizes. Tell Misa your opinion. Do anime characters look asian or american to you?

To Misa it depends on the face and body shape.

  • Sure seems racist in here.

    Japanese people GENERALLY do look better cosplaying. It doesn't mean Westerners shouldn't, and that they can't be good at it.

    Either way, cosplaying is about having fun. So it shouldn't really matter. :x

  • Anime characters look like young white children...

see all

  • Anime chars lookslike american/european people, but the asians are the genious behind the animes and they are way better in cosplay...

  • @MrJvun Yeah thats true. A lot of asians look similar so I would see why they would want to stand out a bit. Good point.

  • @EpIcRaNdOmNeSsNiCoLe Well if you were referring to the eye insecurity, i understand. I don't think the make up thing is about looking white anymore. East asians like koreans or japanese, are some of the least diverse races in the world in terms of how they look. I'm not saying they all look the same but they look very similar. Black straight hair, no eyelids and brown eyes. I noticed in Japan, alot of ppl just want to stand out since so many of their features are similar. 

  • @MrJvun You know what I mean, cacausian people with big eyes. I didnt exactly mean just americans or all americans. I would just like to see them not wear so much make up that they look nothing like themselves.

  • @MrJvun Ha, yes americans are not white, but what I mean is westerns, or most europeans if you get what i mean. Caucasian, Nigeriod, and Mongoloid. THose 3 are the main 2 types of human races characterized by physical features.

    I could go into detail but I am just leaving the rest up to you to research. Obviously all 3 races developed differently, they all even have different skull structure. Its Genes, its not all the same for everyone. Asians also seem to have the largest skull.

  • Have any of you guys been to Japan? Anime characters do not look like Japanese people. Majority (90%) of anime characters have big eyes of different colors, pale skin, different hair colors, straight noses (as far as we can tell from the way they are drawn) and pointed chins. Most Asian people in the world are tanned, have black hair, brown eyes, nose varies and facial shape varies. Most Japanese girls don't act all innocent like these characters. guys don't nosebleed when they see tits.

  • @PsionicAnnihilator Americans ARE Not white! Do not use white and american interchangeably. Also, there is no scientific logic to your statements. Bone structure in a Caucasian or Asian face varies.

  • @philinator71 Anime characters don't look human. If you compare them ot humans, most of them would be white.

  • What a stupid video. What do Americans look like? America is a very diverse country. People don't look alike.

  • @EpIcRaNdOmNeSsNiCoLe When asian girls try to look american? What exactly is looking american? Also, being Asian doesn't make one not american. You should rethink this statement. It's stupid.
