I'm straight up never going to see this movie. As KB said, anime should not be remade for white people. I would extend that to say that foreign movies generally should not be remade for the american public. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo? Awesome original movie, totally watchable with subtitles. English remake featuring Daniel Craig? Fucking AWFUL. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that remade movies always, always play to the lowest audience denominator. They remove context, storyline and subtext in an effort to make the movie appealing to the most people as possible. It's a cash grab. edit: I mean straight up there are tons of asian actors who could do this role incredibly well, especially if you include korean and chinese actors and not just Japanese. I mean, Doona Bae from Sense8 would KILL this role.
