No it really isn't.

>>79359796
No it won't because GITS is probably going to bomb. And even if it's not a flop it'll probably get critically panned up the ass for both the whitewashing, and the fact it'll almost certainly suck because the only other movie the director's ever made was that awful Snow White action flick with the Twilight chick as the main character, and the rest of his oeuvre is literal TV commercials.

Yeah. It's an American remake, so all the characters are being remade to be American. Even L, who was British iirc.

Aren't 90% of manga/anime characters drawn as white people with big western eyes anyway?

>>79360687
No, they're drawn as cartoon characters. Their eyes are like half the size of their heads, they're not supposed to really be any race. Unless there's some race out there with pink/orange/blue hair...

The exceptions are the "realistic" shows (think Welcome to the NHK), which will show all Japs as having black/brown hair and if they show Westerners or half-westerners at all, they'll have exaggerated large noses and curly hair (usually blonde).

90% of manga/anime characters are drawn with non-existent noses, massive eyes, and naturally neon-colored. And they pretty much all have Japanese names. I don't think they're meant to be white.

I read somewhere that in the manga The Major says she refreshing Caucasian cyborg bodies, any truth in that?

Whites are 15% of the global population....if you add everyone in Europe, the USA, and Australia together, you don't even equal the population of China alone. I think east/southeast asians are the default race.

>>79360893
For sure, at least the vast majority of them. Most anime/manga don't bother trying to make people "look" Japanese, because the stories are almost all set in Japan for Japanese audiences. They only bother making them look Japanese if it's a show where there are a lot of foreigners (Attack on Titan, for example, where most of the characters are European but there are like 2 or 3 Japs, or Baccano, which has no Japs at all).

>>79360893

Seen it multiple times including in theater. Stay triggered tho

>>79359796
Major's in a cyborg body though. Her brain is the only thing that survived an accident. The robo-body's face isn't her old face. She can even switch faces and bodies because the brain, the consciousness, is Motoko, not the body it occupies. Hence "ghost in the shell". Obviously Motoko was originally Japanese but she could be occupying a fat black man cyborg body if she wanted.

That whole notion of humanity stripped from external trappings like race, age and gender is pretty much the underpinning theme of the series. What makes Motoko, Motoko? Is she even her old self if her entire physical being is different? etc., etc.

If people are going to complain about whitewashing with this movie they should be doing so with Batou and the other supporting cast members, for which it's actually a valid criticism. Doing it with Major just reveals that they're total casuals who've never read (or watched) the story and are just complaining for the sake of complaining because complaining about race-swapping (whether "white-washing" or "diversifying") is a Thing.

>>79360854
We were expected to believe the world's 2nd-best detective was an albino 12-year old, and the world's 3rd-best detective as a crossdresser named after a basketball player. Is it really that much of a stretch for the best detective to be black?

>>79360934
No, because the whole point of L is that he doesn't look like "the world's greatest detective". He can hide in plain sight and he throws people off because he's not what they expect. Boyega would have that same effect.

Might be a difficult concept to understand for you whitebois but japs are comfortable in their identity to create stories where the majority of characters dont have to look japanese in fact they look european and the japs like it and are very aware of it.

Japs dont cry about whitewashing because they do it themselves in the anime/manga they create.

>>79361013
White is the default for beauty. Everybody including Japs and chinks admire and envy white features, hence, there's nobody Oriental in anime. Japs don't like the way they look.

>>79361114
Actually be to be honest I wish they would have gotten a guy who could actually pass for some pale as fuck shut in weirdo with is what L is supposed to be. Nothing about that guy reminds me of what L is.

>>79361181
>hence, there's nobody Oriental in anime

Of course there is. Look at Welcome to the NHK, practically every character has a flat nose and dark hair.

Or whatever the fuck this is >>79360980. Sure looks like a badly drawn Jap to me.

90% of anime has characters drawn with non-Asian features. Japs don't raise a shitstorm when white actors play anime characters because they're happy to have whites play the role. Nobody likes watching Asians in live-action including Asians themselves. The chinks want to see white people, hence why they watch so many shitty Hollywood flicks that nobody else likes.

QFT

Asian chicks are okay to pump & dump, but nobody really likes them. Asians are soulless freaks that breed too much. We need another Black Death to thin out their herds.

>>79361475
You actually might be onto something there, I've noticed that Chinese characters in anime tend to actually look asian (Lee from FMA, Hei from Darker than Black, the Dynasty Warriors faggot from Code Geass, etc.).

>>79361518
>but until chinks start raking in money like Scarjo, they will be ignored.

I think it has more to do with the fact that east asians make up about 3% of the US population. There's really no reason to cast them in major roles consistently, because for better or worse people tend to want to watch actors they can relate to, which often means actors of their race or who resemble their race.

The reason they don't have Asians in these movies is cause there's hardly any Jap-American actors, and if you cast a Korean or Chinese you'll piss off the Japs eternally.

>>79361768
Exactly. And if Asians want to see Asian actors, they got plenty of shit from where they came from. Or why don't they make stuff themselves, nobody's stopping them.

>>79361804
>you'll piss off the Japs eternally.
Who the fuck cares? Japs are 3rd rate today. Nobody gives them any props anymore. It's all about China now.

They've had plenty of Chinese and Koreans play Japs before without any problem so I don't see why they can't do it..

>>79361804
Does it really matter, though? We had a Korean guy play a Japanese guy in the new Star Trek movies and nobody complained.

Anime characteristics vary by style. Edgy anime tends towards more realistic styling. Most of the big eye meme comes from Disney in order to convey cuteness since infants have large eyes and heads in comparison to their bodies.

Very true. The trailers make it seem she is the only full cyborg though, so it appears that concept is getting dropped.

Yes, that's how they see "round eyes". We see their slanted eyes more dramatically because they're it looks weird. They see ours the same. Shit is exaggerated even more in anime. A lot of characters in anime are white.

Warcraft was awesome. What the fuck ever happened to people? People would've loved that shit in the 90s. It was a visual masterpiece. The best 3D has ever looked, by far.

No one knows that though because they just listen to some orchestrated opinion instead of going to see "bad" movies.

It was cool shit to look at for two hours. Why do people think everything has to be some unknown, artsy, complex shit to be art? Films are a visual medium. If something advances that visual experience, that's cool to see.

Sucks more people didn't see what that movie looked like in theaters.

Reminder that Kusanagi is a legendary sword. "Motoko Kusanagi" would culturally translate to something like "Jane Excalibur" to western audiences, which is where the "obvious pseudonym" line comes from.

So yeah, there's an argument that can be made that the Major doesn't NECESSARILY look Japanese. It just so happens that that's a SUPER convenient argument to make if you're a Hollywood exec that doesn't want to cast Asian actors in lead roles in your movies and continue an old Hollywood tradition of doing so.

Yes?, maybe not epic, but there's romance and action and it's aimed to people around the world, literally is aired in hundreds of countries. You might say that's accidental and isn't the intention of the writers/creators, but so happens the same to manga and anime, they aren't meant for us.

The setting of Naruto is a fictional one, they don't have the same concept of race as we do, I don't remember any character calling attention to someone else's race.
>Edward and Alphose are literally from Not Prussia while Jin is from literally Not China and Scar from literally Not Middle East. They're supposed to look like Westerners because they're Westerners in the setting
See the above point, I don't remember anyone calling attention to a character's race but rather their nationality (i.e people noticing Scar is an Ishvalan). Also Amestris is closer to Not Germany but that's inconsequential
