| I dont remeber my country ever being mentioned in a Anime, But the in the manga of Assasination Classroom Koro-sensei goes to Brazil (my country) and says "7 to 1" and a bunch of civilians got PISSED and started to attack him. Well, it was just after world cup, even manga shamed us. |
 |
| Hong Kong was represented in quite a number of anime, e.g. Card capture Sakura, Full Metal Panic, Shakugan no Shana I am very satisfied, the depictions of Hong Kong are mostly positive. |
| lol I'm pretty sure the only time I've even heard the name of my country in Japanese is from my sensei back when I was taking beginner lessons |
| My country isn't represented in anime at all, and I'm glad about that because living here is humiliating enough. |
 |
| Not sure, seen some very minor references to Australia but I can't think of any off the top of my head, if you could point me to some then I'll let you know my thoughts. |

| well, I like how this anime ad represents my Country https://www.wimp.com/canadian-tourism-anime-ad/ but I haven't seen a lot of things about Canada other than that |

EmberJuliet said: America has been mentioned a couple of times throughout the amines I've watched, but they've emerged really said shutting about it. So frankly, I don't really have an opinion. Well Death Note kinda made fun of America, but only for like one scene. I found it kinda funny though. |

Ericonator said: If Norway has been represented in anime, I've either never seen it or forgotten about it.  Hetalia. The stereotype is that you drink with your fellow nordic brethren and give each other shit. Norway usually looks on critical of others he is close to but quiet and mysterious around everyone else. Loves to indulge in his own culture. His best friend is Denmark (kinda love hate). Second best buds with Iceland. Likes England's lore. He also drinks with buds like Sweden and Finland. But. just gonna say- anime wise- only in ONE episode.  ^^That is Denmark being overly excited. |

madarchod said: Although there are not many anime which mention india or had indian characters but those who has.They have mostly shown india or indians in a stereotypical way associated with curry,hinduism,poverty,caste system,Rajas,yoga etc and so far i am satisfied with whatever role indian appears. Anime which mention or had Indian characters are PRINCE SOMA ASMAN KADAR and MINA(Kuroshitsuji) INDIA (Hetalia) AKIRA AGARKAR YAMADA (Tsuritama) MINA KANDASWAMY (Darker than Black) KRISHNA RAMESH (Baby Steps) Amanti Patel(Space Brothers) Dr. Rakshata Chawla (Code Geass) Apart from them India has been mentioned quite a few times in Shokugeki no soma. I still wish that animes show india more frequently and in a less stereotypical way I assume you didn't watch jojo because if you did you'll be surprised how they portrayed India in it and you'll probably laugh your ass off. Btw Nice Name |
 I am actually kinda happy this is the anime representing west coast USA right now. I mean, you would think Stan Lee would show up in some New York based animus. But nope. Shows up in one set in Cali.  Yeah... pretty much looks like us. |

| So there is this arc later on in the Soul Eater anime, where the protagonists travel to Czech republic and meet a villain who uses golems in battle. The golem thing might be a reference itsef as there is a well known czech fairytale about a king who seeks an unbeatable clay golem. The fun part came when in one episode the good guys went into a library for some research, and the supposedly czech books had totally random words or sentences on their cover. It was like the creators just googled some random czech words and threw them in there xD Well, they get points for effort I guess. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| From all the anime I've watched and heard UAE never once got featured so yeah XD |
 |
| My country (Ukraine) was represented through Hetalia, and though I don't really _adore_ that image, it's cute enough and, well, could've been worse, I guess. |
| I saw my countray ,UAE, in jojo stardust... , they went to Abu dhabi. It was the same city but in the 1990s |
Ericonator said: AndreaIsASeal said: Yep, forgot about it :pNakiri Alice went to Norway to learn to cook better in Food Wars. Also in Saga of Tanya the evil there were Norwegians fighting with the allied. I recall that happening after you mentioned it though.

| The US is usually represented by its military/operations in a lot of anime. So yes, I'd say that's fairly accurate. |

Lalakoboldslayer said: The last research stated that over 50-55% of people are black in Brazil.The few brazilian characters I remember being in animes are heavily stereotyped. They are black and play capoeira. Not all brazilians are black, and to be honest, most of the people here are not black and don't even know what capoeira is. And me ? I'm whiter than most europeans. Japoneses não sabem como representar outros países. |
 |
| I feel the USA is represented OK. I never expected to ever see anime characters chant "USA! USA! USA!", but that's what happened in the last episode in Taboo Tattoo. I smiled a little. I feel like the USA is mostly represented by military forces. |
| The german in Japanese anime is hilariously bad..like someone just slapped a few words together so it sounds cool. |
| I don't think my country is ever represented in anime. I mean who cares about the Netherlands? Even I don't care about the Netherlands. Unless some non-Dutch person thinks it's okay to bash the Netherlands, then i all of sudden only have love for my country. |

| Only happened once in the anime Nobunagun and it was pretty accurate, it was in a region called Upala that is very rural and empoverished, the show represented it accurately. Although I got a feeling that if any show were to show Costa Rican people they would make them all brown, which the majority of Costa Ricans arent. |

| Thailand... Only character I could think of is https://myanimelist.net/character/44326/Charunee_Kusakabe though she's half japanese and half thai. So ....yes, I'm glad that Japan knows my country actually exist on this planet. |
| My country has never been represented in anime in the first place. |
 |
| I'm from Colombia, and sadly I can't find an anime with one reference ofmy country, but considering the "latin references" the mayority probably think that we are a Mexico 2.0. |

TheHopefulOtaku said: America needs much better representation. Why do all anime characters from America have blonde hair and blue eyes and are Caucasian? Because many anime character design archetypes are severely limited in recognizability, so you have a "hair colour budget" for all but the most unique anime in terms of designs where if you have more than 1 character with the same hair colour (except with black hair they always try extra hard with the face) in each age bracket (5-8, 9-14, 15-19, 20-30, 30+) and each gender, you're playing with fire. Ask yourself, if you have to diversify your hair colours, and the script calls for a foreign character, which one do you make blonde? The foreign character, 9/10 times. Doesn't matter is they're from Germany, UK, Scandinavia - hell even Italy as Blend S has shown, despite the overwhelmingly most common hair colours in Italy being dark. |

| @isekai Have you watch any anime that refer or showed our country? Euphoria said: Have you watched or read Black Lagoon? PH was been there on it's first episode and (manga) chapter.I'm satisfied and amazed that Philippines has Charlotte but that's about it. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
i cannot remember a lot but Fate/Zero mentioned the Philippines one time if i remember right |
| My country was never represented in anime i think!? Maybe it appeared on scenes where someone checks the world map, apart from that i don't have any knowledge if it was acutally represented. |

| Besides the common Machu Picchu and Nazca reference, I actually know about this old anime that feature a version of our beloved volleyball team back in the day. I can say that it doesn´t bother me at least |
| I couldn't give less of a damn. The constant self-obsession of having to be "represented" somehow is stupid, unless it actually involves me. Name dropping my country or having a character from my country/ethnicity/whatever identity doesn't make me inherently happy or sad. Applies to real life too. I don't know what's the deal with "is my race represented?" in an award ceremony or movie role casting. I'm not sure how some Asian dude getting anything is my concern, he ain't me. In fact these actors who supposedly represent me probably have more in common with other actors than me. EcchiKingMamster said: People who pay too much attention to the group they identify with. Basically people with no sense of individuality.do people actually pay attention to this kind of stuff? |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I don't recall ever seeing references to Sweden in Japanimation except for a cup with the Swedish flag in AnoHana (which is a terrible show). Most Japanese probably think we're all blonde and have blue eyes though, if they even know about us at all. I know I've seen multiple representations of France in anime but aside from the French reporter (who actually was voiced by a native speaker, surprise!) in Yuri!! On Ice I can't think of any specific examples |
