  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…

  The only characters that seemed Japanese in the anime were Yozora and Rika. Yukimura was identified as full-Japanese, but has the appearance of some magical European fairy. Kodaka and Kobato are supposed to be Half-Japanese, Half-English; Sena and Stella both look VERY Half-something else and Pegasus seems like he would fuck almost anything. Maria and Kate both look like aliens. Would take a miracle to cast that bunch accurately. Miracle fail.

  Even the AV parodies have better production values. This is just like that Negima dorama piece of shit (based on a shit manga btw). “Honestly, a live action adaptation of Haganai is impossible for a yellow race like the Japanese.” They loathe themselves, that’s why anime characters designs are far away from the japanese appearance.
