Last month , an X/Twitter artist named Lynn6Thorex uploaded Dan Da Dan fan art redrawing protagonists Okarun and Momo Ayase as Black.

The artwork has become the epicenter of a culture war where folks on Twitter are accusing the artist, Western Black anime fans, and voice actors of “disrespecting the original work by turning characters Black and excluding Japanese people”.

The anime community’s fan art reimagining characters from anime as Black and brown ethnicities is a natural extension of that phenomenon.

Anime is for everyone, and getting mad over fans having harmless fun making art of characters as Black doesn’t take anything from anyone.

Dan Da Dan is streaming on Crunchyroll , Netflix , and Hulu .
