Stardate 20011107.1328 (On Screen): Why do all the heroes in animé look European? I know this is not a new observation, but I've never understood it. You get lots of
blonde hair and blue eyes and everyone's eyes are round. Sometimes you see orientals in animé but they're always villains (and in many cases you don't see them at all). Recently I have stumbled a few times on the show Dragon Ball Z (on Cartoon Network) and it's rather odd, not least of which because it's a serial and they're making no attempt to run the episodes in order. But from the five or six episodes I've watched, I'm beginning to get at least some idea of the plotline (say what?). Still, they got a guy with green skin, but no-one evidently from Japan. Which is strange, because they all seem to have Japanese names. I'm confused.
