Wow, being a Westerner is such a crime in this Western re-make of a Japanese anime.
Do these people have an inferiority complex or something ? This is just bizarre to me.
I mean, it's not a Japanese re-make of the series, it's a Western re-make.
Would you not expect a Western protagonist in a Western re-make ?
It's not as if the protagonist looks 100% Japanese, and as in many Japanese anime most of the caracters in the series are made to look like some Japanese and Western mix. However that's besides the point.
We don't hear of Asian viewers complaining about the lack of Western faces in their re-makes of Western movies and TV shows. They are perfectly fine with the idea of replacing Western faces with Japanese or Chinese actors and actresses.
We also didn't hear a peep from these people when Western re-makes of The Ring and Internal Affairs were made.
I just think the whole reaction is really odd. It's not supposed to be about race, yet that seems to be all they care about.
Forget about story and acting, as long as the character is Asian-looking it will be a good movie ?!
