Regardless of the quality (or big reveal) of the live action Ghost in the Shell movie, can we agree Major Kusanagi has a Caucasian cyborg body? She does not look Asian at all. Neither does Bato, or Togusa or most everyone else in Section 7.
While I would be upset if a non-Japanese was cast as Jin from Samurai Champlop, for example, because it would be no sense and the character is clearly Japanese, this is not a concern with GiTS. Thoughts?
just don't make shitty americanized versions of good anime. it's fucking annoying, now every time you search cowboy bebop, you'll see the shitty live action.
>can we agree Major Kusanagi has a Caucasian cyborg body
No she has an anime cyborg body
My point is that anime characters are white by default unless you give them Japanese traits, which they rarely have...
>She does not look Asian at all. Neither does Bato, or Togusa or most everyone else in Section 7.
God, unless its said (and even when it is) white people are going to continue to think everyone who isn't dark as fuck is white, aren't they?
>Can we agree Major Kusanagi has a Caucasian cyborg body?
Not at all. The only time she had even a vaguely "caucasian body" was pic related.
She looks Japanese as well as 90% of every other character she deals with/works with. If that didn't drive it home:
- the name; Motoko Kusanagi? Aramaki? Ishikawa? Azuma? Totally white, right?
- the fact that she works in an exclusively Japanese section
- and the fact that they make it a point in the show to mention when someone is foreign or show it
would do it.
Also stop bringing up this dumb topic. She's Japanese, live action anime 9 times out of 10 sucks, and Scarlet Johannson is ugly as hell.
None of them look Japanese. As for the names, so what? Morgan Freeman has a "white" name but is African. If I change my name to Hideki Tojo, am I Japanese now? Despite being black?

>anime characters are white by default unless you give them Japanese traits
No, most anime take place in Japan therefore the characters are Japanese by default
The Majors appearance is not important to her character, she could have been played by a short black man without it changing anything about her personality or anything about the story, beside that Batou is now gay
They absolutely do. Its the same thing with all art though, the best parts are going to be picked out and drawn together. The looks combined with the name drive it home that they are a certain race.
Now, if your eyes don't work, thats on you - but she is Japanese as are the vast majority of the other characters and no amount of whining on your side is going to change that. Sorry for you.
Also
>I-I'm totally black
Sure ya are.
I am and no one but white americans have that stupid mindset.
Good luck with your shitty thread, though. You asked for opinions, I gave mine. See ya.
>all the simpsons are asians
>anime characters are white by default unless you give them Japanese traits
Yeah, Shinji, Gendo, and Misato are all white, that makes sense.
Regardless of the quality (or big reveal) of the live action Ghost in the Shell movie, can we agree Major Kusanagi has a cyborg body built for sex?
I forgot to mention is Edward really Japanese? He must be. He's played by a Japanese actor in the live action movie. As are most other characters.
Anime Major is definitely east asian.
There is an episode, Angle's Share, where the Major is in England. You see her in profile and an english woman in profile. They have have different skull shapes and skin tones.
Fantasy German
Post it.
Anime overall is mostly white because white people are more diverse and got more beautiful features. At least that is my opinion and how the east Asians see it with the eyelid operations and nose jobs etc
She's called "Kusanagi", and there's a few asian girls with bodies like that.
Morgan Freeman is American though.
This bait is getting too obvious user.
Either that or go read old forum posts on the same topic. Its been done to death.
No bait. Just stating the obvious truth.
Anime characters are white
Shut up and post more Motoko.
...
Here OP, I made a more accurate version of the Major
They look like animated characters with stylized features.
