Ghost in the Shell bombs at the box office

no one wanted a gits live action movie
whitewashing is (((their))) baked in excuse for the failure

>>81228938
more like Ghost in the Tacobell

I didn't care about the whitewashed casting. What bothers me is they shit on the original plot and message.

Yeah sure m8 everyone would totally watch GITS, but they're boycotting it cause of Scarjo.

Just like how they're boycotting Iron Fis--- fuck!

it was just a generic scifi action movie. it's biggest crime was a few good sequences but overall being dull. certainly not a bad movie, just forgettable

it undoubtedly would've made LESS if it didn't have scarjo as the lead

but because this is the age of political correctness bullshit, we'll have 28058209 pieces on "muh whitewashing"

meanwhile, mainland japs don't care and some were actually glad because they were afraid hollywood would cast asian, but not japanese, and would end up with a chinese actress instead keks

asian-americans are HATED by mainland asians, but AA's will never talk about it publicly.

>>81228938
Holy shit. just because its a movie about a character going to another country doesn't make it whitewashing. Characters need to be outsiders, so we can experience the world with them

The Great Wall wasn't whitewashed. It got bad reviews and looked like shit from the beginning. Same shit happened with ghost and the shell

I thought iron fist was always white?
also, isn't iron fist doing great on netflix?

>>81229135
He was and I believe it is. Something like the most viewed Marvel/Netflix show opening yet, I think.

>>81228938
So if Iron Fist is a bomb then Daredevil season 1 and season 2, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones must have been fucking disasters. Being that Iron Fist had more people watching it, and watching all of it than the others mentioned.

The great wall has also made almost 350 million. Jesus fuck they're just giving any monkey with a pen the ability to write articles aren't they.

There is no social pushback. There are a bunch of loud obnoxious fucks (mostly the critics) saying that this is bad because race because of blah and blah... but people have started realizing that critics don't know shit.

Well the kind of agenda based factless reporting this article is hardly new. Plus in situations or rather on subjects like this that's basically movie review or "pop-culture" review. There aren't a great deal of people who are going to get up in arms about it. Although it does also happen a great deal in relevant news as well and I don't see any huge backlash about it until the President started the whole "fake news" thing.

>Iron Fist
>whitewashing
He was always white. SJWs sure are stupid

>>81229517
Actually, the article implies the other way. Trying to write a narrative fans didn't go because of whitewashing and thus they were fighting "the man" by not forking over money.

Not that it was just a shitty shallow adaptation.

Do have a source on that, Netflix never releases their ratings and shit

What was The Great Walls budget? The reason they used Matt Damon was to make sure it appealed to the Western markets. Just like fucking Hollywood puts Asians in to appeal to their markets.

Has anybody thought that GITS was appealing to Western markets and would have done even worse with a no-named Nip, or even worse, a no-named Chink or Gook actor?

GITS was made because it had an established name and an established story, meaning production costs are cut as it's a lot easier to write a script with a story to pick and choose bits from rather than using the story.

What Nips might find interesting, Westerns will not. Indians love 15 min long musical numbers in their films, so much so they get up and dance with them, but you can bet your fucking life savings on a 15 min long musical number in an action film not going down well. Even La-La Land split up the musical with huge chunks of regular screen content.

great now every movie will have extra talentless niggers and spics to fill the colored quota. You happy /tv/ ?

It was the adaptation no one asked for or wanted, and you can't just adapt an anime into live action.
People watch anime for the style, the atmosphere that animation can make.

>>81228938
I feel like most commentaters have never read or watched GitS, regardless of whether or not it was whitewashing.

Eh, Iron Fist was a success with viewers, which is what counts.

I seriously doubt GITS was let down by any whitewashing, 99% of the potential movie audience have no idea of what GITS is, so how could they be upset.

Of course this was the problem, GITS is not something that will sell on name, and a fat Scarjo in a ridiculous rubber condom is not going to draw a large movie audience.

From the trailers it looked neither fun nor exciting, some dystopian future landscape, and a bad looking Scarjo in some run-of-the-mill action sequences.

I don't think Valerian will do great either for many of the above reasons, but atleast it will do MUCH better than this by simply the virtue of signaling some humour in it's trailers.

Iron Fist was white in the comics.

Really somebody needs to write and article pointing out the hypocrisy of so-called "colourblind casting", i.e. typically white characters portrayed by black actors being heralded as progress by Hollywood when in the same breath they'll refuse to cast Asians in a film about predominantly Japanese characters ostensibly set in Hong Kong, because I believe that's honestly a contributing factor to audiences staying away from this.

>Whitewashing
Or maybe people are tired of that giant beaked "actress", though someone named "Motoko Kusanagi" should probably be Japanese

Dont care about the 52 marvel series on netflix

Great Wall looked like ass from the first trailer and Damon is playing a European in the movie

>>81229815
Well that's most of the problem. No one knows about GitS and those that do wont like this adaption.

It deserved to bomb. But mainly for managing to rape the source material badly. It's almost an insult to the franchise.

Don't care that she's white. I care that they casted a 4'11" pudgy, aging Jewish dwarf to play the fucking Major.

>>81228938
Yeah, the issue is CLEARLY whitewashing and not people being disinterested in live action anime remakes.

2006 Japanese Death Note movie bombed and was shit without whitewashing. Same with the 2015 Attack on Titan which actually had reverse white washing. But hey, ignore those and focus on the American live action animes that bombed too, like Dragon Ball or Avatar TLA.

>>81228938
The Matt Damon thing is pretty jarring. But the film was made by a Chinese company? Weird

Has nothing to do with white washing, name one anime that was turned into live action which was GOOD? I'm waiting.

Scar Jo isn't a lead actress, no matter how hard they keep trying to push it.

How many Asian-American actors can you even name?

Do you want everyone in a movie be played by CGI Jacky Chan and what do you see Kaneda? Who the fuck would watch that?

Why is Iron fist lumped in there?
I know internet critics tried to will it to death but it's Netflix's most successful show ever.

Also you can't whitewash a white character.

>>81228938

Which were the others? Iron Fist did great and that Matt Damon movie was made by the chinese and he was cast specifically to play a white guy.

Vietnamese hate Filipinos who hate Koreans who hate the Japanese who hate the Chinese who hate the Thai who hate the Pacific Islanders who hate Cambodians who hate Laotians who hate Mongolians who hate Tibetan who hate the Nepalese.

Every one of those groups can be swapped around for your convenience.

Asians are probably the most racist and xenophobic people in the world.

The movie was mostly funded by two huge ASIAN corporations

Maybe it means no more live action Anime adaptations where
they cast the Japanese lead character with a white person. I don't hate Johannsen or anything, although I think a Black Widow movie would have been cool back when they were casting for the Ghost in the Shell movie.


>>81229421

Actually, some people do care if the lead character is Asian or not in a Western adaptation of Asian media. Even in Edge of Tomorrow, which is based on a Japanese light novel, they still should have casted an Asian or Asian-American as the lead. The United States is becoming more and more diverse, well the racist bigot named Donald Trump is trying to put a stop to that, but still, the U.S. is a diverse country and representation matters.

Sadly, you're wrong. It's not that people don't understand, it's people don't WANT to understand. They look at their phones and shit during a film. So you gotta have an easy to follow storyline that can be understood if you look down at your phone every 5 mins. Action keeps them paying attention.

The reason why certain movies develop a cult following after the fact is because they dont do the shit as you said, and actually put in effort.

Nobody walks away from something like this and says "YOU GOTTA SEE IT"

The reason why people are sitting on their phones, and munching popcorn without paying attention is BECAUSE directors are dulling down movies to the lowest levels.

Why would I give two shits and pay attention to some trash, who else would, and anybody who does go to a movie and does that very thing while something amazing is on, is garbage, thats not your audience.

If they wanna make money, stop pandering to fucking idiots and make good shit, that will make dummies put down the phones or force them to fuck off.

The adaptation of the story is awful too. It was cringe seeing "Major" being insecure about being a cyborg.

The funniest part to me is that the only people I've ever met who are racist against Asians are other Asians.

>>81230499

Fuck off, asshole, many of those countries are ethnocentric or homogenous, not heterogenous like the U.S. Also, even within the Philippines, there will be different tribes of Filipinos who hate each other. I think in Vietnam, there's an ethnic group called the Cham who are discriminated against. Even in Guam, which is American territory, while growing up here, there is racism of between Filipinos and the indigenous Pacific Islanders, the Chamorros, hell, the people of this island will also be racist toward other Pacific Islanders like the Micronesian or Chuukese. So shut the fuck up. Even in Burma/Myanmar, there's racism between the Burmese and an ethnic group, the Muslim Rohingya.

At least in America, people try to do better.

Oh wait, in America, don't the KKK and neo-Nazis hate other whites like the Irish or white Roman Catholics. I read on TVtropes that ethnic Greeks were mistaken for Arabs and were attacked because people thought the Greeks were Arab Muslims, when Greeks are Orthodox Christian Europeans.

1. I liked the Iron First, and it didn't erase an Asian character. Danny was always White. I'm not going to pretend the series was flawless, but people that think its problems were with a White Actor playing a White Character are delusional. Its flaws, and despite that fact that I like it, there are flaws, would still be present regardless of who played Danny.

2. Ghost in the Shell (live action) has a great deal of very, very real problems. Personally I thought the casting was wrong, and, yeah, there are Asian actresses that probably could have done a better job - but the casting alone could not have saved that film from any of the other problems it had. Add onto that, I really had, and have, no interesting in Anime-to-Live actions adaptations, most of those are in the best formats (Manga/Anime) that they could possibly be in, for what they were trying to do, already. GitS and other anime really never needed to be live action, indeed, they were probably better off/best off in the manga and annime film/series incarnations.

3.Matt Damon was purposefully asked, added in, by its Asian, Chinese, creators. There was no white hand in the mix painting out Asian characters and Actors. He was asked into a movie, and a part, made for him. Not replacing anyone.

I didn't whine when Samuel L Jackson got cast as Nick Fury. He did a good job. The problems with these three projects are very real, the race of the actors was not the core problem of any of them.

Literally nobody cares about the "whitewashing". How out of touch are you to think THAT would be the reason. Not even the Japanese care about it. The creator of the movie AND the manga have said they don't give a shit. How do American liberals keep this farce up?

> America is a country built by immigrants

Yeah, and a lot of those immigrants were white europeans. So by your logic, every bit of culture Europeans brought to America now belongs to everyone, but every bit of culture other ethnic groups brought belongs to them alone?

Look in your heart, you know it to be true. Puppet in all but officialdom. Most of her countries trade goes to China. When you control the money, you can control the country. Robert I. Rotberg wrote a book on Burma's future as a democratic state and it covers the relationship to China in it.

daily reminder

>>81228938
Whitewashing was the least of its problems.

It was the soulless execution of scenes, the utter lack of impact from every single performance, the massively watered down plot by a hack writer who missed the fucking point, and the awful CGI on everything but the wasted skyline.

Twelve years ago Robert Rodriguez filmed Sin City shot for shot, panel for panel, and line for line. It was so accurate an adaptation that it was practically a big-budget motion comic, and it turned out great.
Why the fuck they don't remake movies that way is beyond me. I guess the team wants to leave a creative mark, but if they want to do that they can just make an actual fucking movie that isn't loosely based on a better movie.

I can think of quite a few movies with exceptional Asian actors from when I was young. The Karate Kid movies, Big Trouble in Little China, the Joy Luck Club and such, in the past, and in the more modern day with Pacific Rim, Marco Polo and others. These are just five examples, but old, and new, past or present, there were Asian actors capable of delivering great performances in each. Memorable performances. If Ming Na hadn't already been cast in the Agents of Shield series, she'd have made a great Ancient One in Doctor Strange. Heck, the Crane Woman, Gao, in Daredevil/Iron Fist is really enjoyable to watch, another example of an Asian actress who, if she weren't already doing a part, would have been great in Doctor Strange as the Ancient One.

I get not everyone cares, and, really, neither do I. If an actor does a good job, awesome. I don't give a fuck. But, people that pretend there aren't some awesome Asian actors out there are just silly. These were just off the top of my head examples, the reality is I remember growing up with lots of media that had Asian actors, english speaking, in them, and, Foreigners in Foreign media right now can learn English, they'd probably love the extra exposure and money.

>>81231172

>>81230160
Matt Damon was just there to give the movie more appeal in America and because China likes seeing white actors in stuff anyway.

Also, Matt Damon isn't even the real hero of the movie. Jing Tian is.

>>81228938
Problem wasn't the whitewashing. Problem was that it's a mediocre movie if you ignore the pretty effects. Blame the scriptwriters for copying cool scenes from the source without understanding the underlying themes and the director for being a shitty director (Snow White and the Huntsman), who's only good at making things look pretty. Nothing to do with whitewashing and I don't think yet another sub-performing mediocre movie will be the final nail in the coffin of Hollywood making more mediocre movies. Same with Iron Fist and The Great Bore. If the product is good, then that's all that matters to the audience.

>>81231190
Exactly. Too much pride, and too little shame.

>>81231220
I thought Bai Ling would have made a good Ancient One.

>>81231174

Sounds like a good deal. He got a job, and we got a pretty bad ass Nick Fury.

>>81231172
No, its not true
It's also a massive logical fallacy, immigration in the past says nothing about immigration in the present/future, it also makes the false assumption that all immigrants interchangeable cogs

Whites that came to America were settlers & colonists, not 'immigrants' in the modern thought

Upcoming Anime Hollywood Film Adaptations

1. Voltron
2. Bleach (yes, I'm serious)
3. Akira (duh)
4. Mardock Scramble (pointless imo, most people won't know what this is as the novels were the famous thing, not the anime)
5. Vexille (again, pointless imo)
6. Death Note (Duh)
7. Robotech (This is obvious due to success of Transformers)
8. Space Battleship Yamato
9. Cobra The Space Pirate
10. Star Blazers

Gundam. Now this isn't confirmed, but Hollywood nearly did it once and since Voltron and Robotech got one, I suspect Gundam will.

As for manga...

1. Dororo (also getting a Nip Live Action)
2. Lone Wolf and Cub
3. Pluto
4. Black Jack

There is also Captain Planet one being made. Kite as well, but I forgot if that was anime or manga. Gaiking as well, but forgot if it was anime or manga.

Enjoy.

Hey assholes, don't forget that White Europeans brought over Africans as slaves to work in plantations owned by white Southerners, they had to do back breaking work. Also the Chinese were here in America helping to build stuff like the railroad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Chinese_Americans

>Chinese immigrants... worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Filipino_Americans

Filipinos came to America as laborers and even enlisted into the American Navy when it was a territory of the U.S.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Japanese_Americans

The Japanese came over to America and worked in farming or were working on plantations in Hawaii, later many of them joined the military in World War 2 and became a highly decorated combat group due to their efforts in Europe. There's a book called All I Asking is My Body that I read in a college course on Asian-Americans about Japanese American. Read it if you like boxing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Americans

Indian immigrants brought their culture with them and it help influenced the American philosophy of Transcendentalism.

>The presence of Indian-Americans also helped develop interest in Eastern religions in the US and would result in its influence on American philosophies such as Transcendentalism.

Why not Appleseed long before that? Not that they'd do Appleseed any justice.
>6. Death Note (Duh)
Didn't need to happen, but, yeah. It's an obvious pick. It's a series, I believe? Netflix?
>7. Robotech (This is obvious due to success of Transformers)
Poor Robotech. First we bring you over here, a mish mash, drag you through the mud in western releases for decades . . . and now this.
>8. Space Battleship Yamato
I'm being stupidly hopeful, but, of all of them they could adapt, that one seems easy, compared to others. It's more of a just don't fuck up situation.

Are you fucking retarded?

>still putting original white characters on whitewashing lists

fucking retard sjws man... just kill them all or make them shut the fuck up alredy god dammit.

>>81228938

jajajajaja nobody cares about cultural representation.

Iron Fist failed not because the actor is white but because the guy is clearly no martial artist, let alone the best martial artist of the world. He doesn't have a trained body, he has a bland whiny personality, he can't fool anyone that's even seen a martial arts fight.

GITS was still born from the moment they announced it. Topping the source material was impossible. American audiences can't into japanese narrative (i mean, it's the audience that thinks HP, DC and Marvel movies are good movies) so they need the plot dumb-ed down and the characters and themes spoon fed to them... and you give the movie to the director of Snow white and the huntsman?
So... fans of the anime movie where going to hate on it from the start and the rest of the audience is to retarded for even the dumbed down version of it.

There was no way this was gonna work and it has NOTHING to do with a female protagonist nor with white washing.

No one cares about that fucking progressive representation agenda.

>>81231860
It's been in theoretical hell for years, so I think you're safe. Just like The Sims movie was, or The Witcher one. The only theoretical "We're doing this sometime" film that got anywhere is Metal Gear Solid. So thankfully adaptations rarely plan out.

>>81228938

I am 100% sure "whitewashing" wasn't the reason the movie flopped

>>81231701

It's easy enough to forget. Death Note made the rounds long before this point. It's been ages since I interacted with Death Note media of any kind.

I left out Starblazers because I've honest to goodness never seen it.

Kite was never something they were going to adapt correctly. They may as well have tried to adapt Mezzo Forte. I filed it away as a, "Yeah, they happened" but it's still hard to believe they bothered. You can just imagine the script writers blacking out entire sections going, "Okay, now what are we going to put in this massive void left by everything we couldn't put in the film?"

Gaiking is another I've honestly never seen (pretty sure the version I'm familiar with by imagery was an anime).

Was Captain Planet even an anime? Isn't that an old western cartoon? If there's an anime by the same name, I missed it entirely.

I'm only familiar with Dororo in the Manga section. And, it's so old, sort of like Speed Racer, that I'm curious who they're planning to market it to, or how to visually handle it.

Also, it was mostly the White Europeans who brought over the diseases and weapons that killed a lot of the Native Americans.

And yeah, I should've mentioned about the laborers and the harsh environments they had to deal with, but I was trying to type/write and search on google as fast as I can and I left a lot of stuff out.

Niggers in European medieval films? Dumb.
Whites in Chinese epics? Dumb.
Changing the main character of some Japanese manga from a Jap to a Jew, Bitch, or nigger? Ludicrous.

In the Manga it's explained they used a common model for her Shell. The Shell is a Japanese model common in Neo Tokyo. The model was chosen for several reasons. The first is that as a common model, it wouldn't stand out as a specialty model. They have a problem with people going after special models for their parts. The second reason is that she's meant to fit in, in Neo Tokyo, not stand out. The model is Japanese in design, and comes in a variety of skin, eye and hair colors, even hair styles, but the basic body and features are the same though some parts are optional like simulated body hair, various breast sizes, etc.

Anyways, the model itself, outside of why it was selected, was built to fit into Japanese society. It can have specialty features and customizations, but it's main function is to look like a Japanese woman. Perhaps a Japanese woman with contacts, a wig, hair dye, etc, which is something Japanese Women in reality wear/use, so it's not really out there.

Regardless, the movies' flaw, well, it had a lot of flaws, was not the race of Scarlet, though either her acting, or the direction she was given, or both, didn't help.

Her name is Mokoto, was born in a japanese city and speaks japanese.
She's a Japanese character.

What they needed to do is cast an american-asian girl, with mixed features, and just make the whole cast asian. I understand changing the language but there was no reason to cast somebody mixed. It's was just a bad move from the beginning.

Also, Amaraki talking japanese and that stupid plot twist at the end. It was just badly done.

Albeit rarely. However, in the areas where the remnants of these genetics are most constant, you find the palest asians. The people's of Japan have a decent portion of these genetics, and the native Ainu were known to sometimes have pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair, adding to that heritage. This double dose of fair skinned genetics in ancient times, and recent times, means the Japanese have the highest percentage of fair skin in the Asian world, in people that otherwise look Asian. This also means that various eye colors such as blue pop up now and then. Blonde hair doesn't tend to pop up, but every once in a very very great while you do get a legitimate Asian red head due to a recessive gene popping out to say hello.

>Perhaps a Japanese woman with contacts, a wig, hair dye, etc, which is something Japanese Women in reality wear/use, so it's not really out there.

That's a fucking stretch. Why put your body in the shell of a japanese girl trying to look white when you can just as easily pick the shell of a white woman?

Also, the 1995 film, on which this movie was based, was a Mamoru Oshii film, not a Masamune Shiro film. It was a very loose adaptation in its own right. She shows zero known Japanese bone structure, and it is never established what kind of shell she's in.

It's a hard fucking truth for an /a/utist, but it's the fucking truth nonetheless.

ANIMEYZ AND SHIT

I'd sooner thing the bigger reason for GitS not doing well is the fact that anime fans just don't really want to watch a live-action movie adaption in the first place (I mean I can count well regarded live action anime adaptions on like one hand)

>>81232200

>Under the terms of the deal, Shanghai Film Group and Huahua Media will finance at least 25 percent of each film on the studio's slate

How does that suddenly mean:

>'The movie was mostly funded by two huge ASIAN corporations ' ??

China was THE most profitable for PacRim, not US.

Part of the problem is that the source material has always been overrated.

The thought that GITS is the greatest thing ever was part of thr meme hype machine before the original even came out.

>>81232423
True. It's still better to cast a white person who won't piss off the various markets than pick a specific Asian an piss off a set of countries.

>>81232379
>Why put your body in the shell of a Japanese girl trying to looks white when you can just as easily pick the shell of a white woman

Holy shit nigger read that guy's post. He specifically stated she did it to blend in. White women don't blend into Japan. Asian women wearing blue contacts do.

Why is this so difficult for you? You're coming at this with Afrocentrist levels of retardation and I want to know why.

Also are you analyzing the bone structure of a cartoon?

>>81232529
The source material was overrated by people that aren't actual anime fans.

>>81232379

Honestly? Because an Asian girl with fair skin, or non-dark eyes/hair doesn't look like a white woman. Having an interest in different colored eyes and hair has little to do with wanting to be white, as even white people like coloring their hair, wearing contacts and changing their skin color to be darker or paler.

Regardless, none of what I think matters. The important part that I relayed, isn't my opinion. It's what the Manga relayed, the Anime also touched on this (without telling you the details) by showing you there were others with the Major's model around the city.

Your picture is nice and all, but it's just an anime style that's evolved in all sorts of ways. You can say that the style resembles a white person more in many Anime, but in these same anime when you have characters with Japanese parents, Japanese names, who are described to be Japanese, you just have to accept that a style is a style.

Still, that doesn't matter. The Manga already explained it. I've relayed that information. It doesn't matter if you like it, believe it, or not, it still is the core intent relayed in the setting. Explained. Detailed. The end. There is no opinion here for you to disagree with. It is. Like it. Don't like it. It doesn't matter. It is.

Mamoru Oshii didn't give a fuck about the manga or any faithfulness to it other than some themes he wanted to explore? Why do you, and why should I?

Oshii also has a thing for white chicks, obviously.

>>81232529

GitS wasn't ever the fastest paced most action packed thing in the world. It had a few cool fights, but, especially once you get to the series, the talking is far more focused on. Their themes, discussions, characters and concepts have always been forefront, at the expense of traditional pacing and other issues.

It's fine for those that like it, but, let's be honest about what adapting that means. They were always going to lift the actions scenes, some of the visuals, and then slap in whatever new story, characterizations and motivation. There's some fluff there, but, you could over generalize the Hollywood take as, "Female Robocop" and not be too far off the mark.

Surprised there's been no Berserk Live Action adaptation by Hollywood. Or is macho morally grey heroes a bad thing? I mean you can remove the naked kid scenes and so on. But is Berserk any more 'mature' than GoT?

>>81232379
>bone structure
get out of here with that shit

>>81232777

Not really sure what you're on about. Even the anime lifted the concept that her model was commonly seen around the city, a common model that fit in with the populace. You have the scenes. No, you don't have the Manga's in depth explanation of what's going on there, but without the Manga's explanation and imagery as inspiration, there'd be no reasons to have those scenes at all. Yet they were included in the anime. Which says a lot.

>>81232856
They'll adapt it eventually and it'll be shit.

The biggest reason it failed is because Scarlett Johanson can't carry a film.

She lacks any real charisma. People were interested in her films for a while because of her looks but now she's boring.

Without the script being rewritten to make it less about philosophy and the nature of the soul in an electronic world and more of a vehicle for Johansson it just looked uninteresting as fuck, despite a really great setting.

Compare the trailer to GITS to The Mummy.

The Mummy is another remake with meh 'oh look, the city is being destroyed by CG' set pieces yet Tom Cruise makes it something people want to watch.

Why do you need naked kids to make Berserk Berserk? They're not in it really, you have Casca's backstory where she's seen topless in a couple of scenes when the guy tries to rape her. You got the butterfly girl arc where she flies around naked and even that goes between having her smooth as a barbie doll and actually having a cleft of venus, she's like 12-13 as well. Then you have a single topless scene of Scherike and you see her butt in one scene. That and a few naked little boys in the Troll rape pens and that's it really. You don't need those and if you really need the butterfly girl arc you can just have her either older or have her covered in fuzz so she isn't actually naked.

The rest can be kept in.

It's more about Eastern philosophy in general clashing with Western audiences. The West is obsessed with the individual and that everyone is a special unique snowflake whereas Eastern philosophy is about everyone and everything being connected in some greater way, the body is just a shell housing what really makes up the person which is just the mind. The West doesn't like this because it erodes away at the idea of everyone being unique and separate.

You undermine the whole point of the movie when you replace its philosophy with another one. You might as well just make a different movie altogether. It'd be like making a Superman movie for Japan but it's all about Japanese ideals as opposed to the American ones he stands for.

I agree but I don't see the conflict. mind is the essence of self and individualists are not necessarily obsessed with the shell.

I don't know about Makoto but Ironfist and Matt Damon's character were written as white. Hell it was a Chinese guy who intended Damon to be white as he's a mercenary from Europe who journeys to China is search of black powder cause someone hired him to get some. People are mad with Ironfist because he falls into the White Savior trope that's been done to death but to say it's problematic is a bit much. Knowing these people though, had they cast anyone who still wasn't a white male but still not East Asian wouldn't have said shit about it. If he was black they'd probably praise it being a fun throw back to the era of black Kung Fu characters in the 70's which Ironfist originated from.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Castle of Count Cagliostro is my favourite anime film. I watched it on VHS in English dub. The English dub is fantastic. I really enjoyed it. Then they redid it all for DVD re-release and it was terrible. So I kept the VHS all these years. Was just perfect VA for everybody. I know the whole 'dub is sacrilege' thing, but it was so good. Seen it so many times my VHS must be damaged.

I watched all his other films in Japanese.

Also thanks for agreeing /a/ is fucking autistic about dubs. I'll watch whatever is better or both to see if hard or soft translations are better depending on it all.
