The japanese now believe in white supremacy just like 1950's america, and they show it in their comics and cartoons.

Because the Japanese respect strength above all else, and the Americans gave them the most epic asskicking that was ever delivered to any country in the history of the human race. We are to them what black men are to little white men with a cu*k fetish.

white man in high-ranking military regalia presses red button. on monitor, we see a mushroom cloud rise from hiroshima and we know that the war is over. camera slowly refocuses to foreground, where a black man is bending the white man's wife over a desk and she's loving it

If the filmmakers are smart, they'll shoot this less like an epic fantasy and more like Dredd. Picking the guy who did snow white bodes ill, IMO.

Even though I'm a GITS fan, is it okay if I rage at hollywood if they don't get scarlett johannson naked? She wouldn't be my choice for kusanagi, but hey at least I'll get something out of it.

I just hope this movie Kusanagi is more like the manga Kusanagi than the SAC one., meaning sassy as hell and having hot lesbian sex whenever not on duty.

Also I want to know the casting of other roles. Aramaki, Batou, Ishikawa and Togusa at least. In short,

They aren't totally insensitive. I'm sure they'll have her squint and not be able to pronounce her "L"s. Maybe give her buck teeth too, as a nod to the source material.

They're all white to begin with anyways. Maybe like 1 in 1000 anime characters are drawn to look Asian.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



looking at my friends' facebook feeds it appears that i'm supposed to be mad at this to signal the correct virtues, but it seems like scarjo would be just fine as a naked android?

that's all i remember from gits, she was a android and they contrived to have her run around with her tits out because something something stealth field wouldn't work otherwise or something

but i mean her character in beneath the skin was p. robotic and showed tits so i think she can do it.

a sophomore director coming off a really garbage movie is probably something bigger to worry about

Kitano "Beat" Takeshi is playing Aramaki and Pilou Asbęk, Euron Greyjoy from "GoT", is playing Batou. I've seen an article that said that Chin Han, the Chinese banker from The Dark Knight, is playing someone in Section 9 and an African, Tawanda Manyimo, and an Aboriginal-Australian, Lasarus Ratuere, were also cast as members.

For others, Michael Pitt has been said to be Kuze, but also cast as the Laughing Man, which makes me think they're smashing SAC and 2nd GIG plotlines together. Juliette Binoche and Michael Wincott are also said to have critical roles.

She doesn't run around naked, she wears a pale bodysuit similar in tone to that one guy's overcoat that also turns invisible. It happens that her skin color is pretty pale as well, so people didn't catch it (as well as Oshii putting bloom on everything, literally blurring the lines). This is Nausicaa's tights all over again.

But enough of that 20 year argument, but them smashing storylines together is what's concerning me. It's going to result in a confusing mess. One of the strengths of the source material is that it was largely episodic and you could pull one self-contained story and blow that up into a feature-length film (which was done for the second Oshii movie).

nah, you are just seeing what you expect. the japanese see all those racially ambiguous characters as japanese. honkies see them as white. even if a given character has blond hair and blue eyes, unless they specifically say it is a filthy gaijin you are supposed to assume that they are asian. various neon pigmentations are also considered natural for anime asians. except for se asians of course- they always look like mexicans for some reason.
