I came across an article on CNN regarding the film industry's "tendency" to cast white actors for anime inspired films and such. Two of them they are currently casting/filming for have big names like Tom Cruise and Kristen Stewart... Keep Mission Impossible and Twilight the hell away from my anime, PLEASE!
http://inamerica.blogs.cnn.com/2012/...es/?hpt=hp_midJoe Peacock, a writer and web designer who owns the worlds’ largest private collection of animation cels from the original “Akira” film, said shift[ing] anime characters into white characters “is annoying to the point of disrespect.” In disrespecting the source material, he said, the studios are alienating the fan base which could make the movie a success[.]
