The post includes a variation upon the phrase "I don't care whether they're black, white, or purple." Always a good sign!
Unrelatedly, it's alarming when you put down some thing you're reading, go back to it a couple days later, and upon googling discover that one of the people discussed therein has died in the interim. Specifically, Shio Sato died on the 4th, and I was reading this interview with Keiko Takemiya.

The series was a total flop and it's a good thing Hollywood is around to rescue it from the drudge pile by fixing those pesky little character design mistakes!

Date: 2010-04-08 01:47 am (UTC)"I find it remarkable that the Asian race is even at issue today when Hollywood adapts anime into live-action blockbusters."
Now, I'm not usually one to quibble about the precise definition of whether a western-created work of art can allowably be called "anime" or not. There are some conversations in which it can be put into a category with Japanese anime and still be meaningful.
But using a western cartoon as an example of hollywood's fantastic multicultural acceptance of asian culture? FAILTASM.
