This pretty much is how i feel about this thread. But i guess it is fair to fulfil everyone's likes. |

what have i found here.................... |
 |
| Japanese people don't grow beards until they're like 50 since they have to preserve their hair growing energy for their pubes. |
 |
I'm talking shit like this: 99% of "attractive" male characters are clean shaven, spikey haired mofos. |
|
| Personally , i wouldn't say "Anime is lacking attractive bearded men" but "Anime is lacking attractive bearded men as Main Character" , you have some "attractive" bearded men here and there but most are like 40+ Years old and doesn't get much screentime . What is that ? XD |

I want more headstrong, powerful and mature women as female leads in anime without any dere elements or anime rubbish like moe/ loli etc. see: Yennefer of Vengerburg from The Witcher books/ games. |

Though, probably highly unlikely/rare given most of the audience of anime and such. A character being a redhead has nothing to do with being headstrong, powerful, or mature though. Holo from Spice and Wolf is one of my absolute favourite female characters from most any medium and she's a redhead. Doesn't take away from her character being exquisitely written at all. If people are looking for better female characters anime is the last place to look. |

And yes, you're absolutely right about the last sentence, there's not much to be done about it. |

Vita_Aeterna said: I totally forgot about Holo, I'd say she's in my top 5 of favorite female leads. And yes, you're absolutely right about the last sentence, there's not much to be done about it. Yes! Holo is fantastic. She's not just all beauty, she has substance, and a lot of it. Mhmm, Unfortunately. I read a lot of western comics as well, and it fails at having good female leads/characters too, more often than not. Though, they are actually, surprising, more prominent than in manga and anime. Some females that come to mind from western comics are Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Black Canary, Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel, Raven (from Teen Titans; mainly in the comics, though, love her in the show, lol). |

I've never been much into western comics beyond my childhood years, which was composed of mostly European comics like Tintin and Asterix. Anyways, I only brought up strong female leads is because watching anime has made me frustrated at how they handle a lot of things, some trivial (see this topic's OP) and some important issues like strong, complex female leads. Holo and Chihaya are really good characters that come close to that ideal when it comes to it. |

Holo and Chihaya are really good characters that come close to that ideal when it comes to it. Yes! Chihaya is a great female character too. I agree, anime tends to handle their female characters very poorly. It's a shame. Also anime loves to have that cookie cutter male MC. In regards to western comics, they're much better once you thoroughly dive into them. |

Kuma said: asian is not that hairy, what do you expect mate? Thats not true. Japanese are the most hairy! Sounds weird to be said like that, but they grow more facial and pubic hair than the other Asian demographics. Koreans probably being the least. (But if you count Indians being Asian than they are definitely the most hairy) |

(But if you count Indians being Asian than they are definitely the most hairy) it's probably offensive to say but asian (or mongoloid to be more accurate) didn't find hairy to be hygenic and neat, and common asian people dislike it, including japan. when someone want to go to meet many people or important people, there is pretty common habit to shaving before attandance it. i don't said everyone, but most. |

This is actually a good point. Japan does a lot of things opposite to how Western media does them, this is just one of many. The last thing anime needs is gruff, middle aged brown haired bearded men. What anime needs is bearded WOMEN. Mikasa should have had a beard to go with her killer abs. |
| east asian countries have developed a very feminine beauty standard for men. look at all those male idols or models - girls with short hair. but i think the biggest reason is that most mc's are teenagers Kuma said: well, indian and arabs even in asia continent, it mostly caucasoid people indians and arabs aren't caucasians. don't mix us together with those people |

North Indians and Persians are both genetically and linguistically speaking related groups of people to the Europeans we know today. |

 Most popular characters to ever come out of Japan say otherwise. |
 |
| Japan in general needs more attractive bearded men. In their culture they're supposed to shave until they're at least middle aged. I've heard in a video that it is acceptable to have a bit of hair on your face, but it should be kept fairly bare. |

MahadoKusanagi said: Well, as i understand, asians (more towards Japan, S. Korea, etc) tend have a less natural growth of facial hair than westerns. Its not a fact, just an assumption. But more importantly, there is a little story behind it where even today some (not to say "the most") asians (japanese in this case) see facial hair as "bad". Look at the term "Ainu", then you'll understand. Even today they (the so called Ainu) are looked as primitiv just because of the stronger growth of facial hair in north japan. Yeah, today that "discrimination" went down, but it still is on. E.g. as a salary-man you are fired just for facial hair in some parts of japan. We could have a whole discussion to see if its right or not (i think its not), but that sadly still remains a fact. And of course, in most Anime, the main cast are often teenagers or early 20s. By that time, they naturally dont have that facial hair growth, in anime you mostly see that in older men or men that dont give a damn about society values that much. Thank you for your informative post. I have heard of the indigenous Aiunu people before. Your last point is correct though, most anime are targeted to teenagers or young adults, who usually don't/can't sport any significant facial hair. |

| thank you for sharing with us this artwork. |
| I think we're doing pretty well in that department. <3 <3 <3  |

| Nope, bearded men is common, Hairy armphit is the rare one http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1491288 |
| Because Japanese dudes tend to no be very "Beardy". And even if they're not portraying Japanese people, i think the logic behind it is "Beards are for old people"... |

| Kingdom is all about bearded Chinese men, warring over who has the best beard in all of China. Well, something along those lines at least. Too bad the anime (at least the first season) is fairly lackluster. Unless you prefer CGI beards. Still has one of the most bearded casts of any anime I have seen though. |
| I'm just here like... |
   |
| It is easier to draw someone beard-less than someone bearded |
 |
| I agree! As a lady I fully support the idea of more bearded men in anime. Men get their big bouncy boobies, I just want a nice beard to look at. |
