| There's lots of anime that take place in other countries or have foreign characters and I wanted to ask if you liked the way anime portrays your country and the people in it. Personally idk any anime that portrays my country. |

| I honestly don't know any anime set in Canada. I now know 18 anime related to Canada thanks to MoonDragon72 and inim. And apart from Hetalia which stereotypes every nation and the skater dude from Yuri on Ice, I don't know any Canadian characters either. Also Langa from the new SK8 anime is Canadian, but he looks and acts like a typical shounen protagonist from Japan. |

| Haven't seen an anime that has mentioned Australia yet so idk what it's shown as |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
 According to Unbreakable Machine Doll (too lazy to look up the Japanese name) in merry old England we fight each other all day & night with waifus & dragons, the old LNWR Locomotives were spot-on too. And yeah honestly it's cool seeing my home nation in Anime (loosely) I could also say K-ON! Movie too but all they do there is sightsee and get scared by us creepy British folk. And the British fleet in Azur Lane is portrayed as prim and proper and we all drink tea, which isn't true at all.......we also drink Coffee!. |

| I’ve never really seen how California is portrayed in anime, most of the time I see the U.S. in anime it’s in NYC, I heard Great Pretender is set in Los Angeles but I haven’t watched than anime myself so I don’t know how well they portray it |
 |
| Malaysia I think they mentioned twice in Danshi Kokousei no Nichijou in the ping pong fight Bahasa Indonesia (similar to Bahasa Malaysia) also mentioned in Nichijou multiple times. "Selamat Pagi" which means good morning in both Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) and Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) |
 |
| What anime have characters that are American? |

| Never watched Michiko to Hatchin but as it seems it takes place at Brazil. |

AcD4c said: Never watched Michiko to Hatchin but as it seems it takes place at Brazil. Kinda sorta. It takes place in a fictional South American country that is heavily influenced by Brazil. |

Winden said: What anime have characters that are American?  The "Masters" in Masou Gakuen HxH are all Americans. It also has a Character from my home nation in it too. The anime is supposed to be pretty bad though (I've only read the Manga, currently reading the LN.) |

| We Americans are usually portrayed as a joke in anime. Most of the time we are protrayed as a joke in media because we are one |

 hmm yes this is what what everyone does in italy |
| Nobody cares about Canadia. I have not seen an anime talk about Canada. |
 |
| Banana Fish is 100% accurate. It's just constant subway gun fights and sexploitation of minors over here. Okay, that started out as a joke, but now that I think about it I'm sad. |

Even if you don't include the Ivy leagues, there is UC Berkeley and UCLA which are considered top tier in the world. However, I do agree the U.S. healthcare system is not as great or affordable when compared to its neighbor, Canada. |

Sylvia Silkcut from Masou Gakuen HxH just seems to be a generic moe character who just happens to be British. We definitely don't go around saying desu desu lol. She cute though, I like her. |

| With more patriotism than is actually liable to be found. |

| I only see one anime that mentions Indonesia in it, and it's Grisaia no Rakuen. They portrays it as a country that has one of the richest people out there. Dunno if that's right or wrong here. Never cared that much of people's economic succession |

cheemse-sama said: Lisa_Cosplay said: Is there an anime set in Germany? Idk tbh but it probably wouldn't be very positive There is and the anime's called Monster. The anime was rated positive, but it might not be your cup of tea since it's slow-paced. Monster is largely set in Germany and the Czech Republic, and its portrayal of those countries is pretty damn true to life, it would seem. It's got its positive sides, with gorgeous landscapes and jaw-dropping architecture and historic universities and awe-inspiring monuments, and then there's also the seedy slums and abandoned former-East German facilities that stand as local marks of shame. Naoki Urasawa did his fucking homework, because it truly feels like he captured a very real portrait of Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Munich, and Prague. |

| Hana Yori Dango has a short arc set in Canada, although I don't think the anime did very much 'portraying' since it mostly takes place in a wintery cabin somewhere in northern BC. I do specifically remember one of the drama adaptations showing a short glimpse of "Vancouver" as this blizzardy icy wasteland which really made me chuckle. Makino (MC) does almost die from getting stuck in an icy blizzard so I'd say it was accurate. |
| vampires, dracula, stuff like that. |

| romanians in anime are usually vampires, which is true, alucard, mina tepes, the vampire twins from black lagoon |

| my country doesn't exist in anime so idk |
| Well Chad from bleach was awesome as a Mexican, but i don't know any other anime that references Mexico or their people |

Hong Kong ~ Ghost in the Shell ~~~~~~ |
Lisa_Cosplay said: Is there an anime set in Germany? Idk tbh but it probably wouldn't be very positive Monster...its pretty popular and has a very good score |
Judevin said: https://anidb.net/tag/2814 has 18 of them. Anne of Green Gables is a genuine 10/10 for me, and very Canadian. Including an episode where the school has a festival to collect money to buy a maple leaf flag for their institution,I honestly don't know any anime set in Canada. |
 |
| I've seen it once from Kakushigoto and its a housekeeper who believes in supernatural things and I daresay its pretty accurate. |
Signature of three years-or-so was removed here's my new one . Thank you and have a nice day, everyone. |
