This just stinks of cultural appropriation. It’s like saying that a jazz song isn’t jazz unless it is played by an African American. The origin of the person who made it matters very little as long as they present it in the spirit of its roots. Anime is more about its style and the culture surrounding that style then…

Didn’t this premiere to a Japanese audience?

So what does that make Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure? It takes place in a primarily English setting with an ending theme song sung by an English band with multiple references to English and American bands?
