Apparently as inspiration for a fictional setting that will no doubt throw up my countrymen up in arms. I honestly thought I was being punked by our local NSA hackers when I read the synopsis.
Besides that, Black Lagoon said we were notable port in the human trafficking business.

Has Indonesia ever been shown in anime? Like, actually seen?
Genki dess
Fuck off.
Inconsistent but positive.
It isn't portrayed at all.
Hetalia doesn't count
it's not.
Why is Karen so shit? She ruined the whole stereotype.
as a gay dude in samurai shamploo.
Does this VA do any other British character roles?
Not, which is weird considering holland was the only trading partner for a while
there was samurai champloo but that wasnt really an enduring character
>Portugal
It's always nuns
I don't think there's a single sign of Norway in any nime that isnt Hetalia.
Does this count?
...
Pretty good aye
youtu.be
there are also chick from code geass or that exorcist dude
No
We get best girl.
>Sweden
Not exactly the most represented country in anime, but we get a few mentions and a few characters every now and then. Not as much as our finnish brothers though because Japan fucking loves them for some reason.
- Stella in Muv-luv
- Julie Sigtuna in Absolute Duo (it's never stated, but Sigtuna is a swedish town and she's confirmed to be from 'Scandinavia' (like every other swedish anime character because fuck mentioning specific countries) so I guess she counts)
- The dude in Anohana has a Swedish flag on it
Other than that I can't think of much. Norse mythology is a fairly common theme though so I guess that counts?
Well, I was wrong.
Also checked.
>- The dude in Anohana has a Swedish flag on it
Eh, I fucked that up. Meant to say that his coffee mug has a swedish flag on it.
You got a major character in G Gundam while Finland didn't even get a background appearance
Allensby from G Gundam
Major plot point in Billy Bat
>Italy
Yes. Quite a lot. Japan has a pretty peculiar view of Italy.
Yeah, but you get characters in a lot of other anime. Mugi in K-On for instance.
Also, the setting in Kiki's Delivery Service is confirmed to be heavily influenced by Stockholm and Visby.
Aeroplanes desu
>STRAYA
lel
i think guam is mentioned more than us
Why do Japanese wank Italy, Britain, Finland, and Germany?
jjba is the only one i know that has a part taking place in singapore
>you get fined for everything
i'd say they were pretty spot on
>Italy
WW1 & 2 ally
>Britain
WW1 ally
>Finland
WW2 ally
>Germany
WW2 ally
>axis
>the last cool empire
>axis
>axis
>axis
Though Japan and Finland have some weird mutual love thing, probably because they're both weird.
Easy stereotypes
>straya
>Finland
They need an excuse to throw a lesbian in.
one would imagine something like Russia or America would be easier to stereotype than Finland of all things.
>Italy
Japan is weirdly infatuated with Italy, Eurobeat helped too. Also Axis.
>Britain
Empire + posh + lots of cooperation in the past.
>Finland
No fucking idea, memes and neets?
>Germany
Axis.
Italy, Britain and Germany are top tier European countries. Besides France, the rest are irrelevant. Finland is pretty cool though, so Japan will like that.
>sydney
and good riddance
>Italy
>relevant
>modern day
pick two
I don't think so, my roach brother.
I choose option 3, major debt.
>roach
That term's reserved for pinoys
Britain would be axis too, no? I'm not too good with history and shit.
It's mentioned liked once in Azumanga Daioh as a vacation destination.
Excel once went there and there is some chick from some show who used a whiteboard to write, I think it was a Mahjong show or something.
Britain, US, Russia - Allies
Germany, Japan, Italy, Finland - Axis
Britain is Allies.
Thanks guys. Like I said, I'm an idiot with history. I learned something.

Sure, user. Let's see if you can name anything about Germany asides from beer, nazis and sausages. Oh and France is literally Faggotland.
Düsseldorf is a very grand hub for business and even has the most Japanese people in Europe.
There's also Amuro.
Death from Gregory Horror Show has a Swedish flag hat.
Why though? Is that because of Seventh Seal?
Fear.
And pasta.
He just wanted some sweet Japanese boipussy.
The country? Literally never.
The countrymen generally with lots of mental issues. And I love it.
My favorite American was from the Index LNs. Roberto Katze, our Mexican president. A reporter questioned one of his decisions in a press conference so he started flirting with her until she shut up. Later he hotwired a security cart then used said cart to save some kid by doing a drive by on terrorist wizards in a mall. It made me cry a single manly tear that exploded into an eagle.

Are there even any endearing portrayals of Russians?
CYKA
>Finland
Lesbian rapists I guess
I can only think of NGNL (besides every single football anime ever made).
Relax Gonzalez. I'm sure he didn't mean it.

And yet, Portugal is still better than Spain in every conceivable way.
Michiko & Hatchin
The second Chibi Maruko-chan movie has an Indonesia-themed music segment.
We had that one autistic gamer hobo in Gundam Build Fighters who was straight and didn't rape anyone
I was gonna say that Argentina had a coin in Nichijou and that's it, but you made me remember how Maradona was actually portrayed in anime.
Theres a guy in Saint Seiya too.
...
you have Natalia and Elena Shimabara (who is half brazilian) from Idolm@ster, though it isn't technically an anime nor manga
Oh yeah, there was that as well. A shame Manglobe went bankrupt.
Aldebaran is shit.
Both countries are shit though.
I can't argue with that.
Nazis, or evil guys with nazi-like structures and attires.
One of main characters of The Doraemons
This is as good as it gets for us, m8.
there's a whole conan episode on the dutch trade port in japan

Finland was not a part of Axis
>best food on earth

>Oscar-winning actors

>good at every sport
arent you shit at literally every winter sport
South Africa. It just fucking isn't
>Allied with germany (axis)
>Fighting against russia (allies)
Technicalities etc etc
Flipland, the land of bananas, overpowered boxers, and Motolite.
That said, our bananas (no innuendos implied) are fucking good, especially the ones that get shitty skin almost immediately after harvest.
>Finnish
why does every other Finnish anime character become a raging lesbo
I just thought of _our country as one of the neighboring islands when they show a global map focusing on japan.
>land of bananas
>overpowered boxer(s)
>a brand of battery
???
...
"DETRIOT PUNCH!!!"
I'm pretty ok with how the US is portrayed.
>Burgerstan
it varies
They probably think we're a province of Spain.
It was nice when I saw pic related though.
What about nun Salazar?
>nun salazar
what the fuck Japan
Is there an animu with Greeks that doesn't have anything to do with gods? pls no sekkou boys
Greece is only good for their gods, gyros, and Sparta.
But Sparta a shit, literally nothing like what you see in 300. Just a bunch of moody faggots that won't even look you in the eye when you're buying bread in the morning, fuck them.
>Guatemalan
>Now living in the USA LEGALLY
>Japs probably can't find my native country on the map
Would you rather want everyone to know 300 or now that you're a bunch of modern literally whos in debt?
>>Guatemalan
old town district in Warsaw is drawn nicely but the author sometimes makes up names instead of using real ones
Is there anything else from our noble patriotic country
Best girls hail from there
Why isn't that girl brown like the majority of her countrywomen?
There's Azmaria Hendric from Chrno Crusade too
And if I'm not wrong, there is a manga which the main protagonist is portuguese, but I don't remember the name
>Puerto Rico
I've never seen any representation.
She did Kongou too.
But, with regards to her 英語, she is too American desu.
Whitewashing

This guy. Albeit there's that slut from Shokugeki no Souma.
Du hast nicht Erica gepostet, Klugscheisser.
>Belgium
Can't recall anyone.

To be honest, London is a disaster. I didn't expect to see Pakistan and Detroit there when I go there for a trip.
More like asian washing.
I think it's because he wanted to be a priest or something.
Messi is also named right at the start of Orange
BONJOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRRRRR
Chloe Lemaire desu yo~
La France, la belle France! When Japon depics la France in les animes, c'est presque toujours une belle fille, sophisticated et avec des cheveux blondes. Zey are ze best girls, just like le poulet Japonais est le mieux du monde! Oh, 'ow I desire karaage!
HON HON FROU FROU JEAN-BAPTISTE KLÉBER POULET EN RATATOUILLE
Meine mitmenschen sind kretins.

>tfw not only your country, but your city itself is pictured in anime
I'm pretty sure there is Uruguay in captain tsubasa
>Economic power of a small danish village
For some reason Danes swim in money. Explain this shit to me!!! REEEEEEEEE
Ich bin nicht dein Mitmensch, ich bin nicht Deutscher.
oh yeah that's right
...
I guess i have bever seen Portugal anywhere in anime
>That picture
Silly portugal you and us are the same people
>Not as much as our finnish brothers though because Japan fucking loves them for some reason.
Japan must be the only place on earth that (apparently) thinks of Finland first when it comes to Nordic countries. As a Finn, I'm just as confused.
look up user
I imagine the Japanese think of you as the Germans think of Poland, Lebensraum.
this
yeah but there is no foreign exchange student or aynthing like that. Unlike england or germany or even france.
>>They probably think we're a province of Spain.
the fact that spain leaves you alone for a moment doesnt mean you dont live on rightful spanish soil
are there any kurds in anime/manga ?
Pretty good I would say.
Don't forget her.
Hot garotas and brown people.

Dude wat?
A tropical island with a nice community turned into ravenous vampires by a crazy Nip.
What is this?
Fate/Zero
Nice bait.
Spain never has, and never will be able to successfully invade Portugal. We'll just make a square and wait for Britain to arrive
The closest is Setsuna F. Seiei from Gundam 00, who's from a fictional Kurdish region.
It says ''country''
??????
...
The only time I've ever seen the country mentioned and it was in a vn.
No characters though.
With a flat ass. Just as it should be
These are princesses of my country!
...
Perhaps they're nostalgic for the old days
Dude, what?
As having done nothing wrong.
Even our lolis are best.
Are there any Spanish characters?
hamburger

Kurebayashi Juri from Aikatsu!
She is half spanish if I'm not wrong...

Heavily underrepresented.
But that's okay.
Any Anime about Jamacia?

Yeah, im living in a shithole
> have a well educated labor force
> have a diversified modern economy
> have low tariffs due to being part of the EU
jigoku?
Spain is always Mexico, and sometimes Mexicans + Flamenco.
