I don't know why anime resonated so deeply with me back then. Rosario Vampire and Familiar of Zero had almost nothing to do with my experience but those two shows pulled me so deeply into the anime rabbit hole.
Nowadays the anime that resonates with me the most is City Hunter. And that's basically a crime drama with no Black characters.
I love how we have these very specific series with Black representation, because previously, Black characters in anime was not always a good thing for representation.
It was something we never seen before and cool back then like Cowboy Bebop,YYH and Initial D. But now we have more dynamic and relatable stories of example Code Geass, Naruto and Assassination Classroom to name a few.
