This may be a stupid question but why does it say she has black hair?

[Anonymous No.]

Because her hair is black?

[Anonymous No.]

I think I read somewhere that purple hair in anime/weeaboo media in general represents black hair, but I could just be making that up.

[Anonymous No.]

Clearly he's colorblind.

[Anonymous ‮（≖‿≖ ） ‪‪‪‬ ‪‬ ‭‬ !Jones4ZrPA No.]

1. The bright hair colors of anime serve only to help the viewer distinguish between characters, and actually symbolize the plain black of every Japanese person ever.
2. Localization

Take your pick.

[Angry Type-Moon Fan !MOONRXwPDU No.]

That's what the writer says.

>Localization
That's the worst localization I've ever seen in my life.

[Anonymous No.]

It's actually a translation error.

He has no eyes.

[Anonymous No.]

Why don't artists portray japs with the squinty eyes they have.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

Because they think western women are more beautiful. That's why some characters have huge fucking eyes.

Which is why he got her hair color wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

Perhaps the dude making the art has but a slight idea (nothing solid) on how the characters should look like.

You really can't be that dislodged from a project like this, must be a translation error.

Problem?

Come to think of it I've never actually seen anyone talk about purple or blue hair.

[Anonymous No.]

I always thought blue was representative of black and purple of brunette.

I never noticed that either, what the hell is going on? The world I know is breaking.

I've read them talk about blond or black hair.. But when it's blue or purple I guess it's the elephant in the room.

The ZnT novels describe Louise's hair as pink. I think that's the only time I've seen something like that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389062

It's the former. It's always the former. Anime hair colors do not exist unless specifically drawn attention to.

[Anonymous No.]

Well that debunks:
>1. The bright hair colors of anime serve only to help the viewer distinguish between characters, and actually symbolize the plain black of every Japanese person ever.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389189
Maybe it's just like one of the posters above mentioned, having unnatural haircolor is like having a growth on your face or something. It's not polite to talk about it or draw attention to it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389183

Louise isn't Japanese. She's French.

Also, ZnT is set in a world of maaaaagic, so weird hair colors are acceptable.

Not debunked.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389208
Nope, most people have odd color hair, that wouldn't make any sense.

A lot of modern-day Japanese women have gaijin blood. Quit being in denial.

Japan's population is estimated at around 127.3 million.[111] Japanese society is linguistically and culturally homogeneous with small populations of foreign workers.[112] Zainichi Koreans,[113] Zainichi Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese Brazilians,[114] Japanese Peruvians are amongst the small minorities resident in Japan.[115] In 2003, there were about 136,000 Western expatriates in Japan.[116]

Approximately 98.6% of the population is pure Japanese (though technically this figure includes all naturalized people regardless of race) and 99% of the population speak Japanese as their first language. Non-ethnic Japanese in the past, and to an extent in the present, also live in small numbers in the Japanese archipelago.

In 2005, there were 1,555,505 foreign residents permanently residing in Japan, representing 1.22% of the Japanese population.

Isn't Iceland the purest nation in the world? I'm curious all of a sudden

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389303
In terms of gayness, yes.
Seriously they're the gayest country in the world.

>though technically this figure includes all naturalized people regardless of race

And how many of those are Koreans? Many of them are brown-haired.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5389303
If you think an entire (albeit small) population of inbred Irish slaves raped by Norsemen for generations is pure, then yes, they are...

In 2005, there were 1,555,505 foreign residents permanently residing in Japan, representing 1.22% of the Japanese population.[18]

A significant portion of these foreign residents are in fact the descendants of Korean and Chinese labourers, who, in many cases, despite being born in Japan and only speaking Japanese, are not necessarily classed as Japanese citizens.[19] Most Koreans in Japan have never been to the Korean Peninsula and do not speak Korean.

This actually comes up in Kira★Kira

Kirari is said to dye her hair from black to pink and back again, yet it's clearly obvious her hair was orange before it was pink, at least in the art. This is because the usual art style for most forms of anime/manga/eroge/etc is highly idealized and simplified to the point where artists tend to use a limited number of faces for characters. In order to differentiate between characters and avoid the "sameface" syndrome, anime characters get weird hair colors and hair styles to help them stand out from each other.

Just like in Chinese comics.
