[ARTPOPNick 3,486]

I stil is an American production, so it's not that strange.. For me not a problem..

Oh pleauuse as if ever anime most anime characters have asian features. It would be nice but i'm having a hard time understanding this polemic.

White washing is:

Exodus: Gods and Kings - white Moses (Christian Bale), only 2 Middle Eastern actors, none are Jewish/Israeli - to make a movie about the bible without one single Jewish actor IT IS white washing.

Of Kings and Prophets - ABC tv show (canceled after 2 ep) David is white like the rest of the cast, only Samuel actor is middle eastern.. and again no Jewish/Israeli actors.

Gods of Egypt - all white except for one Indian actor, 0 Egyptian actors.

And the list go on and on, Hollywood is white washing the middle east history, culture and literature and it seems that nobody cares or talking about it.. I wonder why..

@LebaneseDude do you have any more examples?

Every movie about Jesus ever made? :P

Anime adaptation never workout anyway. Anime storylines don't appeal to the mainstream GP.

Isn't it funny how whenever there's a role for a non-white character, white actors/actresses somehow just happen to ALWAYS be the most talented??? Such a strange occurrence. 

The only actress that's partially white & should be playing mixed-race/POC people is Angelina Jolie.

Isn't the point of anime making characters look 'white' and or at least not Asian  Those huge eyes are like the opposite of what Asian eyes look like and it's just one of the things

I dont know why they romanticize western people because east asian people are beautiful too and they should accept their beautiful features. They should start making east asian characters that actually look east asian.

Bitch please, the anime looks nothing like Asian. Japanese never make small-eyed or yellow skin anime anyway so keep glorifying whites and then shout for 'whitewash'.

[Omar Vela 2,744]

I really don't care about white washing in Hollywood...they can do it if they want, it's their production, it's their art, they don't have to be 100% political correct all the time. Also Japan has a lot of live action adaptations of their own animes and they cast asian people even for caucasian roles. Like the dorama of Ouran Host Club, Takashi was supossed to be half french but the actor was full japanese. Also Black Butler movie, they changed the story making the whole characters japanese when in the original anime they were british. So, stop with this unnecessary drama ...I'm sick of this tumblr-like social justice warriors

Right cause that's the only two traits that define Japanese people.
