Anime still has a long way to go don t we all when it comes to being even better at diversity.

Anime diversity. Anime also extends to more obscure styles of animation including glass plate animation and stop motion. That is why there is hardly any diversity in anime. It makes sense as to why we ve seen light skinned characters for the most part in anime. Anime itself is vibrant and diverse so it s only natural that the fanbase would be the same way.

Most of the animators have their own styles that fall far outside what we typically consider anime. We don t have to cover the fact that anime originated from japan and the fact that the japanese ethnic group makes up roughly 98 of the country. Nhk has a short called anime supernova that interviews various japanese animators. Even though many western media outlets are slowly but surely making moves to bring more diversity to leads that represent all who consume it anime and manga may take less time to do so because as stated before its due to a homgenous culture.

But i like to be hopeful that this is a sign of good things to come.
