Comment on George Takei to Hollywood: “Quit Whitewashing Anime” by Anonymous:

Yeah actually you’re right about that, this story is american made by 2 american authors that infuse japanese animation artistry into it. In fact the creators are both graduates of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design and even did stuff for well known animated sitcoms.

BTW they are not asian themselves, what truely made this movie awful was messing up the script, changing the designs from the show, actors not looking like their characters, and the names were changed or mispronounced.

But I do support George Takei’s opinion 100% I had the same impression about the exact same thing. Though what I really found the most odd about the Akira series was it was never made into a anime series.

  I don’t think The Last Airbender flopped because it had a white cast. Anime in general doesn’t feature Japanese-looking characters, and The Last Airbender wasn’t a particularly Asian story as much as it was a universal one. If I had to pick a reason it flopped, it would be because in so many ways it missed the point of the “anime” (or American cartoon in the style of anime, if you prefer). The Fire Nation was played by Indian actors, all of whom overacted their parts and came off as …

  I hated that George took away a straight role from a straight person. They should have cast Sulu better and gotten someone that didn’t predominately suck cock. George should only be allowed to play gay roles. See what I did there… Idiots…

  “Another example would be Jesus, that somehow is portrayed as a snow white caucasian man, even though he was a jew and likely quite brown if he would have existed.” Yeah, apparently you know very little about historical sources.

  Why give pedestrians a false sense of security? If they have too long to cross, they’re only going to get double-tapped by someone running a light trying to flee from exploding condoms in a vending machine.

• Xbox One “Clearly Inferior” To PS4, Sony Stock Surges:
  

  You’d have to be nuts to deny that the Xbox reveal affected things. It’s not shown here, but if you check the actual charts, the stock soared roughly ten minutes into the xbox presentation. The spike was significant and violent; the internal changes may have aided that (or even tactically been placed as such) but the reveal is definitely related.

  “We’re going to save the games for E3″ What kind of bullshit is this? Don’t give me that ” this was just for hardware” nonsense either. They spent less than 5 minutes talking about the actual hardware of the console and spent the entire video on everything else. They don’t even showcase a single exclusive game for more than 30 seconds , but they’ll dedicate 10 and 15 minutes respectively for multiplatform games and timed exclusive DLC content brought to you by EA and Call of Duty; you know the …
