fan response? why the hell arent there more black people in anime? Mihoshi
is the only african ive seen in anime that i can recall, and she is hot!
...and even though she is obviously black, they gave her blue eyes, and
blonde hair?? oh yea, they also made her an air head. i don't think this is
very fair. 
I realise she isn't even from earth, but still, look at any anime series,
how many have ANY black people?

i think this is kind of racist, dont get me wrong, im well aware that most
anime has lots of unequalaty in it...i.e. the # of male to female ratios in
most series, especialy tenchi. i just think its wrong that there arent more
black men/women in anime.
