Well, i hope my POV can help answer your questions.

1. The girls aren't necessarily "perfect" but in most series specializing in fanservice or the ecchi genre, they pretty much have these so called "perfect" figures. Its all pretty much to attract new watchers, usually around the 14 years olds and beyond.

2. There are quite a few black people in some animes that i could name, but you're mostly right. Majority of the characters in anime are of lighter skin color, most likely because Japanese people aren't black? lol

3. The big bubbly eyes have no particular reason. Every artist/manga/animator has their own way of drawing or showing certain facial expressions. Its through these that the viewer can closely relate to how the character(s) is feeling. IE: A certain death or something of the sort.

4. Plot definitely changes VERY fast in most animes BECAUSE they have 12 episodes to give out the meat of the story. Now, this doesn't necessarily apply to the bigger series, like Naruto or Onepiece. But, most new and upcoming animes only have one season to show their stuff. New animes come out on the same channels about every season. (Spring, summer, winter, fall.)

For example, a list of all the Fall animes that were just released a few weeks back.

I, for one, still enjoy anime, mostly for a deep plot/storyline (especially those that give off a light-hearted feeling, romance, etc). Its just like watching any other tv show on hulu.com for me. Really, though, rather than watching the anime, i would prefer reading the manga for a less "rushed" experience. All of the details that weren't included in the anime(s) would be in the mangas as well.

Agreed, I'm black and I'm sure I dont need to explain why, but I hate the way black people are drawn in anime. Its the same in EVERY single anime.

Also like someone already said, they aren't white their pretty much allways Japanese living in Japan. In alot of anime you will see that the school buildings and home areas, etc. look almost exactly identical.

the blind person in bleach is black.. o.0 his good looking though..

anyway regarding the bubbly eye I have to share the history of that..

you all the know the cartoons Walt Disney made right?? "snow white and the seven dwarfs"

The dwafts have big eyes and you can easily see thier expressions because of this..

Japanese animators saw this and realized it is more effective to draw animes with big eyes to show emotions more.

So they copied it in their own way and viola~ bubbly eye characters are made..

But not all!! It depends on the artist if they want to use those kind of eyes or not! o.o

Also in gundam 00 they had africa and the people their were dark skinned like africans.

no no no thats silly.
Is like saying the inhabitants of Soul society and Huendo mundo(sp?) are japanese when they live in a different dimension.
