There’s something about anime that makes it one of the most brutally honest genres out there. Whether it’s the frank discussion of sex, love, and relationships or the dark and gritty violence, anime is always upfront about what it’s dealing with. And that honesty can sometimes lead to some pretty uncomfortable truths being revealed. So, in order to find the most candid anime characters on earth, we took a look at the most candid characters in popular culture.
- Donald Trump Donald Trump is one of the most candid and open figures in American politics. He has spoken out on a range of topics – from taxes to healthcare – and has been open about his views on both sides of the aisle. He’s also been incredibly candid about his personal life, including his wife Melania and their son Barron. In an interview with The New York Times in May 2016, he said: “I have two children who are very important to me and I love them very much.”
- Harvey Weinstein Harvey Weinstein is one of Hollywood’s most powerful men. He was fired from his role as CEO of Weinstein Company after multiple reports emerged alleging sexual harassment and assault against him. In October 2017, he was charged with rape and sexual assault by Los Angeles police officers who responded to a report of an attack at Weinstein’s home in December 2016. Weinstein has since pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently awaiting trial. In an interview with The New Yorker in October 2017, he said: “I am sorry if I have caused any pain or distress.”
