Ugh, I hate that this is a perfect example of "well, it could have been worse" and ends in me giving it a pass because of it. Example: It could have been like Kengan Ashura where one of the black men depicted in the manga is a stereotypical, over-sexed black beast who cannot keep it in his pants. Those kinds of depictions are too closely tied to lynching for me to be comfortable with. Sigh.

I always laughed when they showed Muteba in the bed loving, smoking and talking on the phone with a gaggle of sweaty tired white/asian women litered around the room. Also lets not forget his name (The Genocider - jfc come on guys), his facial tattoos which are pacific islander and not African/Congolease. The character is a mess. At least Jerry Tyson was on point:

Panther from ES21 was a good character if you ignore everyone else talking about how he's genetically good at football.

I can only think of Dutch from Black Lagoon Sakaki Sowande from Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is an important side-character  She's the secretary of (and real power behind) the Student Council. The authour said when they went to school, there were quite a few mixed-race students, so he wanted his work to reflect that.

Pyrus Malus posted:wait is mumen rider blind? is that why he couldn't get his bike license?? He can't get his license because the joke is he's a kamen rider expy that doesn't ride a motorcycle. I don't know if there's anything more than that but he'd have to be daredevil tier if he was actually blind. In which case getting a license might actually be easier.

i just assume his c-tier hero salary isn't enough to buy a motorcycle, so he doesn't bother getting his license for something he'll never afford

Aside from being completely ignored by the story of course. EDIT: I guess Bleach had Tosen? He was a terrible character but it had nothing to do with being black. Bleach also had a Mexican character, Chad, who was also ignored by the story after a certain point. RatHat fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Mar 31, 2020 |

I can only think of Dutch from Black Lagoon My most recent fav as Avdol, even if he's a spin on a native shaman trope, it's nice seeing a dark skinned Egyptian (they exist). The bar is so low in anime that 'good' means a representation that you'd see in the '70's and '80s-- lots of cool muscly black dudes. Which is probably why someone like Canary stands out so much, I feel like every black femme I know who watches anime loves her.

The fire-based superhero named "Fire Emblem" in Tiger and Bunny? I mean, the drag aspect of the character may be caricature but I don't thing there is any racial caricature there that I can remember (but I haven't watched that show in forever).

Simon from Durarara!!!!!! was nice and Jason from Hajime no Ippo was a good guy (even if they dipped into "Superior Black Muscles" nonsense.) Not black but all the Ishvalans in Fullmetal Alchemist felt like a good representative analogue the Middle East, especially with its harsh look at the effects of colonialism. And as Jeff Gerstmann said on "All Systems Goku": Mr. Popo is still a problem.
