In Kantai Collection and Azur Lane, the type of ship (Submarine, DD, Cruiser, BB, CV) determines the body & age of the anime character. Kancolle Fubuki, for example, is drawn as a teenage school-girl. Kancolle Yamato is depicted as a mature woman with amazonian proportions. Azur Lane Musashi, for example, takes the "big guns = amazingly curvy proportions" meme to another level. Azur Lane Mikasa is treated like a respected grandmother, but she's depicted as a mature woman with an athletic figure who hasn't begun getting grey hairs with age. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Mikasa Some of what is going on in anime is "cultural". And some of it is a drawing convention or standard which is used in anime, I think. Quote Using head-to-body ratio to adjust a character’s height and age (part 1) https://animeartmagazine.com/using-head-to-body-ratio-to-adjust-a-characters-height-and-age-part-1/ That said, when I first watched Kantai Kollection, season 1, a lot of what resonated with me wasn't the appearance of the characters. No, what resonated with me, and what I could relate to, was the "military life" and the experiences of being deployed far from home and expected to put one's life on the line to protect one's self, one's comrades, and ultimately the civilians at home from an impending invasion. The shared good times and the shared difficult times of being in a military unit, depicted in an anime' series was a slice-of-life portrayal that my heart could empathize with, even if the specific details of the situation (in the anime) were different than my own experiences. Perhaps, I can explain it another way. In the USA there are many "cartoons" and "comic book superheroes" and "newspaper comic-strip characters". They're all drawn according to the author's wishes and the illustrator's inspirations or motivations. With super-heroes, such as Marvel's X-Men and the DC Comics' Justice League, there are certain 'standards' of appearance and proportion utilized. There may be variations introduced by different illustrator teams, but the characters are recognizable. Fans of anime' can enjoy all sorts of depictions of characters, from the obscure and early anime' to the modern stuff. And I think all people can explore art and cartoonish characters from around the world and discover and appreciate the stuff that is "different" than what we grew-up with and is familiar to us. Different does not automatically mean "bad". 🙂 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beleaf Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Anime is just a medium, no different than western cartoons.

AdmiralThunder Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Not a weeb so none (especially oversexualized little girls). But as close as I could come (not sure it qualifies as "anime"?) would be the Captain from the late 70's-early 80's US show Starblazers (that was based on Space Battleship Yamato from the 70's). And him specifically and not one of the newer versions of his character. Loved that show as pre-teen and young teen.

SolitudeFreak Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 If we are talking purely about captains that would never happen, Kancolle Nagato (because Kancolle crossover never): Also, Kancolle Nagato > AL Nagato. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asym Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I am not a real fan of Anime and have the same reservations @AdmiralThunder had responding because I am not sure where "Speed Racer" falls in Anime market. Again, from the 1960's and early 1970's. But, as a kid, I watched a lot of this show and enjoyed it. And, the powers to be, made a US movie out of the animated series in 2008. Yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chobittsu Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Does it have to be a character from an official IP?

Folks, if you don't like anime, then just move along to the next thread. Nobody wants to hear you complain about it, even less people want to hear you insult it with the same tired old buzzwords and memes. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xamdam Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 My squadron's mascot which adorned our OA-4Ms when I was in the Marines. 1984~'88... I've lived here in Japan ever since (40 years next July) and never did care much for the whole anime thing. Go figure. Don't really like sushi either, lol. But It's a nice place to live and lots of pretty women around. 😄 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're among the two people (so far) who have suggested a character that is already mentioned in this topic. 🙂 But, as as choices go, Captain Juzo Okita, a.k.a. Captain Avatar, is a good choice.

Honestly, I prefer most of the Kancolle versions of IJN "ships" over their AL counterparts. However we need more than just Nagato from Kancolle, but Kongo, Yamato, Bucky, Shimakaze, Atago, and, of course, Yudachi. Oh and before I forget, POI! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we agree upon that. 🙂 Excuse me Mr. forum posting police but when I posted no one mentioned the character I did that I saw. Looking closer now Admiral_Karasu had mentioned the base character but with no picture, a Japanese name (I assume), and not being a weeb I didn't open the link and didn't realize it was who it is. Also, while that is the same basic person, it is not the one I specifically said I wanted from the US Starblazers series. There are differences in him based on what series/movie you watch(ed). Quote And him specifically and not one of the newer versions of his character. EDIT - here is a good analogy. Optimus Prime is a well known main character from the Transformers series. BUT we all know there are slight differences in that character based on the actual series/show/movie you refer to. When he was added as a Captain people wanted the original voice actor version for the voice over and not one of the other voice actor versions. THAT is what I mean by I want the Starblazers version of this base character. Same but not the same be it voice actor and/or slightly different traits based on series/show/movie. So ONE person not two and it would take a weeb to know it was the same base character which I said I am not. You really need to stop doing this kind of thing. Gives you a really bad reputation and just angers people needlessly. I don't need your permission and prior clearance to answer a question asked in a thread here. No one needs you pointing out if someone posted a similar answer. No one cares, but you, so keep it to yourself please. 100% civil comments here but I am getting tired of you doing this to posts I make. WOW! Time to add those names I removed for the Co-op contest back onto the blacklist. Didn't take long to remind me why some where on it to begin with. May I suggest you add my name to your blacklist and maybe it will help stop forum issues between us.
