this is not correct at all. I watch anime and read manga. There are plenty of "Asian" features in the Japanese illustrations.

I just agree with most of the article, wanted to put it out there for everyone to read, form own opinions. As a recent Asian American graduate, a lot of my Asian American friends do not support this film. Don't blame the actors, blame production.
