So in all absolute seriousness, fuck you, you cretinous moron incapable of any rational analysis, you are the worst part of America, and you’re the reason we have a president who colluded with a corrupt Russian government, and is trying to dismantle public education, Medicare, social security...and all to give the…

The San Diego Bolt Boats! Boat Bolts?

Where in the world is it?!

can’t wait to see them play the san francisco goalie mcgoalerkeepers

The San Diego Chargin’ Clippers!

I appreciate your nuanced and measured response.

Yeah, but no one would be able to find the stadium.

Shouldn’t it technically have been Footy McFoot Face?

San Diego Carmen

They should go Legacy and call themselves the San Diego Clipper Chargers

I’m not sure I understand how this would work in practice. Would the team be the Footy McFooty Faces? Or does the whole team have one collective Footy McFooty Face and are referred to as such? More importantly, would the Deadspin “British soccer plurals” style guide cause headlines to say things like “Footy McFooty…

Shouldn’t it technically have been Footy McFoot Face?

As a San Diego area resident, I’m happy to say that I’ve begun knitting my McFooty Face scarf...

Agree with you on some aspects... The movie is supposed to be based on SAC - not the iconic (possibly more than the manga) but Mamoru Oshii movies.

“She has the cyberpunk feel. And we never imagined it would be a Japanese actress in the first place.”

How much weight should the “director of the international business division”’s opinion hold in regard to this specific matter? His job is to make sure the Kodansha brand does well internationally. If the decision to make the lead character white was made to have the property appeal to Western audiences, is he going to…

Not to weigh in on the “cyborg ethnicity/whitewashing/are anime characters Japanese or caucasian debate” but I don’t think this here necessarily proves anything.

What we’re getting here is the approval of the director of the international business division, which also began reprinting the manga outside Japan.

Alright, here’s my question: you live in Japan, why SHOULD the japanese give two shits about the casting of a Hollywood movie, even if based on a japanese manga?

Look, I’m Asian. I honestly don’t care too much about Scarlett being cast as Motoko but I think the point is that they could have tried to get an Asian actress. There are so many wonderful Asian actors and actresses out there. To say that no Asian actress could have taken the role is ridiculous. It’s just…
