I don't understand how it isn't racist how they cast all these white people as leads, and then do a shitload of casting calls all over the States for "authentic Asian" people to walk around the background with this white kid throws fireballs and shit. Then they casted Dev Patel to kinda balance shit out but damn idk. That's like saying Kung Fu isn't racist and it's stupid to make a big deal out of casting David Carradine instead of Bruce Lee, even though it very much is clearly  racist. Or how about "The Good Earth" movie where they stuck a bunch of white man and taped their eyes and shit.

The state of the Hollywood system. Can't have Asian people play leading Asian cartoon characters because they'll lose money. It has been acknowledged for a very very long time that Hollywood is filled with money grubbing power hungry movie producers, almost no where else in the world blah blah etc.

Fucking 21? Lets have a bunch of attractive white guys play a group of real life Asian MIT students who beat the Hollywood system because no one wants to watch a movie about Asian people, but wait, let's stick in 2 Asian guys just so people can't accuse us of being racist.

Really, I'm baffled how yall can say "these people get offended just as bad as the racists themselves" that's like those #shmup guys who keep saying it's "stupider to be offended by a racial slur than it is to say it".

I'm angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All people who are drawn in the anime style are meant to be white. It doesn't matter what color the animator decided to make the anime charcter's skin, it is universally understood that the character is supposed to be white.

In fact, I always liked it in anime when they did have different colored skin. It showed us that you don't need to have to have a certain skin color in order to be concidered white, like it was something that came from the inside (from your heart).

I always thought that was the point of anime, ever since Walt Disney first invented the style.

It's an M. Night Shyammyalan movie. I'm pretty sure them all being white is the twist

psyburn the problem is that 21 is based on real (asian) people whereas avatar is about people with arrows drawn on their heads that have magic powers

also i like that those banners on that site say that it has all races even though there's no black people (brown people, but no blacks)

isn't Naruto white

and I kind of wish I was younger so I could watch this, it seriously looks like how anime would look if they didn't reuse like every frame of animation 15 times and had production values/etc

like every once in a while I've still wanted to watch an anime but I realized it was all movies like Akira where they actually spent a lot of time and money on it and isn't just some person with copy and paste eyes talking in a hangar for 23 minutes and only the mouth moves not even the jaw just this floating mouth

I'm surprised Nickelodeon wasn't more sensitive about the issue though

anime fact:  those jfk women are what inspired sparkly eyes in anime

ahaha i didn't even realize that that's hilarious

But yeah with M. Night shamababoo at the helm did anybody actually think he wasn't going to fuck it up 

I dunno. He's not the best director in the world, but I at least want to give the guy a little credit.

For instance, if they put him at the helm of the Transformers movies, I sincerly think those movies would have turned out a lot better than they ended up being.

Yeah, all this stuff you guys are bringing up makes it sound more racist.  Ok.

Actually, the the movie's white characters resemble Inuit tribes in the cartoon. Your girlfriend doesn't seem to understand melatonin or simple genetics. The fire nation is a strict and militaristic society that resembles Japan, the Earth nation resembles China, and the air nation once resembled Tibet. The culture of these nations is a big part of the series, so it is understandable that hardcore fans are upset.

I did realize this afterwards actually while mowin the lawn.
but hey bro what you doin talkin bout my girl that way

For her sake and yours I hope she never speaks that way about anime again.

haha phoenix wright the musical

I'm guessing that's why you happened to find out about obscure all-female japanese theatre troupe

I think the best part about this is that Shamayalaysna went from directing/writing his worst movie yet, the undeniably retarded The Happening (RUN FROM THE WIND!!!) to directing a movie based on a fucking Nickelodeon property.

He's a great career to watch for self inflicted destruction.

yup, i bought a book about them (a textbook even that apparently real classes use)

it explains all of japan's gender-related problems, anime makes way more sense now even the dickgirls


but yeah if it's cool for a japanese woman to play jfk i don't see why there needs to be a fuss about a nickelodeon-based movie (ugh harriet the spy why can't we have you again instead of this????)

Japan is not exactly an ethically diverse nation.

America is.
