Dear Hollywood:
There are anime shows/manga series that you can adapt and cast with white people. For instance: Full Metal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Black Butler, Baccano, Cowboy Bebop, Helsing, Rose of Versailles, Princess Tutu and an anime that’s airing right now (and I love it!) called ACCA 13. All of these take place outside of Japan and have predominatly white characters. Adapt them.
Anime/manga like Death Note and Ghost in the Shell are deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. You can’t adapt them with a white cast and expect them to still have the same meaning. Do better.
PS. One more worth mentioning: Soul Eater. Which, y’know, actually takes place in America. You’d still have to get a racially diverse cast for it since the characters come from all over (which seems to be too much to expect from y’all as it is but prove me wrong) but, if you’re going to adapt any of them, you might as well go for the one that’s set in Nevada.
