1-An actor in a live-action adaption does a LOT more than “voice” the character as a voice-actor does in a dub, they become the character, it’s everything the voice actor does, plus the script, plus their look and how they emote, plus their body-language, it’s a much bigger deal.

Hurt my feelings!!! Pfffft .. Yeah very funny, only hurt here I see is your butthurt, so keep on raging and foaming like an idiot, wouldn’t value any of the meaningless crap you wrote with a grain of salt now, so good luck learning how to make a coherent argument without typing in all CAPS like a 3 years old, come…

If you don’t like the show please hand the preview duties to someone who actually likes the show, i never understood people who don’t like something and do reviews or previews for it.

Did you watch the movie Get Out? while i do have problems with it in general it made a good point highlighting what happens *spoilers* ..... When you take the brains of white people and insert them into the bodies of black people, the main character figures out something is off from the mannernism and clothes of the…

Two things, mannerisms and genetics.

Calm the fuck down, then re-read what i wrote above because the garbled mess you wrote has nothing to do with it.

They aren’t white, race isn’t merely a skin tone even when you are just a brain in a fake cybernetic body, and if we are talking about anime then Asian/Japanese characters 95% of the time don’t look Japanese at all due to the heavily stylized artstyles used in anime, but you can tell their race from their names, their…

Japanese characters rarely ever look Japanese because of the artstyle used in most anime (only very few animes draw Japanese characters with Asian facial features), that’s why we always depend on other information and common sense to know if an anime character is Japanese or not .. things like the character’s name,…

Why did you have to remind me, whyyyyy!!!? XD

*makes a screaming man face*

No it’s not, it’s Japan .. In an interview with Oshii he says he created that Japanese cityscape by taking inspiration from Hong Kong, so it is only Hong kong visualy because he liked its aesthetic but the events take place in Japan as sector 9 is part of the Japanese government.

I wouldn’t use the word racism so willy nilly, racism comes with prejudice and the firm belief that one’s own race is superior to other’s, therefor it’s ok to deny those others their basic rights (of life and freedom) and/or exploit them, which clearly isn’t the case here.

Yeah, you sum it up pretty well, i feel the same way.

Lols, only one bitching here is you, if you can’t handle a bunch of adults arguing about something in a civil manner i suggest you get off the internet instead of getting triggered like that all the time, must be terrible.

I only assumed based on what you said, but good that you do realize the status quo in Japan today (and i wouldn’t really call it racism, but the differences between xenophobia and racism can be subtle).

Well, so your original point is!? Why even bring this up?

Lols, yeah .. Some people still don’t know the major swings both ways (or rather likes to experiment with her sexuality).

Sigh, do i need to go over all the obvious 1:1 references.

You can find plenty of fine examples here in the comments and the topic itself above, both for Japanese actresses and Japanese-American ones.

Pretty sure they aren’t a bunch of random Americans or Europeans, but you might want to cite sources if you are making such a claim, cause according to the claim you made all members of sector 9 aren’t Japanese!!!

Good, now if only they let them act the roles as well or got Japanese or Japanese-Americans to act all those roles themselves (the ones meant to be Japanese or Asian in the original movies/anime/manga), alas that’s not the case.
