If modern day setting, then location tells you what race. If England, most characters are white even if they look somewhat Japanese. If Japan, most are Japanese even with Caucasian-ish looks. If sci-fi/futuristic and characters have neutral names, then race doesn’t matter.

. . . unless you're not either Caucasian or Japanese.

No, life is too short. I only have 2nd Order interest since so many of you are into it. Kinda like football.

Japanese. You’re not the first to ask. The fact that it is asked is, IMHO, as much a function of the enculturated way Westerners interpret racial signifiers as any idiosyncrasies of the anime style.

I’m not a westerner but I get the idea. Anime hadn’t yet caught on in india when I was growing up there, so it’s always been alien to me.

osamu tezuka, considered anime's founding father, was heavily influenced by the disney art style and kinda set the trend for large eyed characters. also makes it easier & cheaper to depict emotion.pic.twitter.com/KBctvjVcZ9

different ethnic groups will choose different things to formalize about themselves/each other in different ways. it's funny how eyes are the ONLY feature I ever hear framed in this ethnic light (as opposed to, say, the nose, which is just taken as random + inexplicable)
