I wish Hollywood and America in general were more open minded to anime and Asian culture in general, but sadly we're not there yet. I feel the same about black characters in anime. You see them here and there, but never really in prominent roles. And it's understandable because anime isn't made by or for black people. It's made by Japanese who definitely are fascinated with white people. So it's really up to the Japanese to create accurate depictions of themselves and for themselves. Hollywood is white and it's going to do whatever it wants with it's platform.
I also feel that Hollywood will make a pretty bad adaptation of GITS regardless of the actress and her ethnicity, so there's always going to be that, LOL. More times than not, these adaptations suck.
All time favorite anime? :)
Will you be attending anime Midwest?
