| Melatonin. How often is it that a waifu gets a change in hair color while being adapted from the source material to the anime. Manga Mizuhara (rich black hairs) is> Anime Mizuhara (brown hairs) by miles. But at the end of the day its mizuhara. So is mizuhara objectively the best brown haired girl or best black haired girl.   the given issue can be of 2 types: Type 1: A change in the character design for the anime Type 2: The character always had said hair color, u just couldn't figure about because of the monochromatic manga style. What do u do in those situations? Which style do u keep in ur head for the character? Does the character (lets say chizuru e.g.) exist as both brown haired AND black haired? do the character hairs exist like a wave function which collapses only once u observe the character in question?? ARE THEY SCHRODINGER-IFIED or do u often pick a style you stick to? Sorry Mal @Catalano and @Dragevard told me to make this thread. |

| Colored comic is the only truth. Black and white mangas kinda suck. |
| man i can't believe nobody found this before. this is some wild shit man /s |
| Makise Kurisu is the prime example, chestnut brown in the visual novel and red in the anime. Different media, different hair color; I just accept that. |
| I don't know what to say besides the fact that Mizuhara is hot |

| The hair color can be viewed as both black and brown at the same time until the anime or the author say otherwise. |
| If I am not mistaken, Senjougahara's hair was supposed to be dark brown and I think she would look better that way in the anime as well. |

| The bizarre hair colors seen in modern anime have their origins in the black-and-white manga source material. In a nation where virtually everyone has black hair, characters in manga (who often had very similar facial features as well) could be difficult to distinguish from one another. One solution was to give them different hairstyles or to use variant shading (or no shading at all) on their hair. When the mangas were translated to color animation, the odd shadings were sometimes translated as bright colors. This trope/concept particularly exploded, however, with the advent of computer video games in the 1980s - due to palette restrictions, giving characters "natural" hair colors, black especially, that read well on-screen was often enormously difficult. Bright hair colors in the red, blue, purple, and green ranges, however, often translated very well to the screen and often made it easier to track characters visually on screen. And given the cross-promotion and cross-inspiration between anime and video games, even in the 80s, the concept transferred very quickly. In most cases, these unnatural colors are understood to be normal, natural shades by the other characters. That is to say, the color carries none of the social connotations it would in the real world, and other characters rarely if ever react to it as unusual in any way. This may indicate that the color used is more a visual shortcut than a real color - e.g., perhaps the cast of Ranma does in fact have black hair, but, just as their eyes are drawn nothing like real eyes, their hair gets drawn nothing like their "real" hair. Dark blue hair, in particular, is often understood to be a "stylized" black, used in instances where actual black hair simply would not read well visually.Ranma's girl-form is a redhead, the manga version has black hair and is able to masquerade as a regular Japanese girl without a wig or hair dye (though Takahashi played with this and drew her with different-colored hair on the times when it was colored, but used red more frequently later on). Similarly, Shampoo from the same series has bright purple hair in the anime, whereas in the manga, it was limited to subtle purple highlights |

I really enjoyed reading this post! Funny to think that hair color is such a big deal among anime fans when it started off as a way to tell people apart. I seem to recall that blonde hair was chosen for Super Saiyan because Toriyama got tired of coloring in black hair all the time. |
| Mizuhara has brown hair in all of the manga cover art that I see. Even the one right there on your manga favorites list, OP. |
 |
I just remembered that rangiku is blonde in the manga but pierrot made her hair orange for some reason |
