"No white people will star in the ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ movie, and that’s a beautiful thing"
>“The cast is entirely Japanese, but the setting is Europe. However, their race and nationality isn’t expressed in a specific form.”
>Others, like writer Julian Abagond, argue that non-Japanese people see “white” anime characters as white because of their own deep-seated media biases.
“If I draw a stick figure, most Americans will assume that it is a white man. Because to them that is the Default Human Being,” Abagond explains in a blog post for The Society Pages. “For them to think it is a woman I have to add a dress or long hair; for Asian, I have to add slanted eyes; for black, I add kinky hair or brown skin. Etc. The Other has to be marked. If there are no stereotyped markings of otherness, then white is assumed.”
When will this SJW stupidity stop...

But there is literally a nation of asians in full metal Alchemist. Don't they live across the desert? And don't like half the people in the show have blonde hair and blue eyes?
What about Hispanics? The fucking racist didn't even mention us.

Okay, but when asians add WHITE features to their "stick figures" (blond hair, colored & bigger eyes, bigger noses), then that doesn't count?
I have no problem having a japanese movie starring japanese people (beside the fact that they can't act for shit), but atleast try to understand the source material.
And what >>70005375 said, they literally have asians with asian features (while they are based on chinese in the manga) in the story anyway
>>70005073
>When will this SJW stupidity stop...
You've got Ghost in the Shell if you care so much.
Diversity was a mistake
Marxism was a mistake
That's alright and all but it's still a missed opportunity since Amestris is pretty much turn of the century Austria-Hungary
But there are actual asian countries in the fictional world of FMA?
Armestris is supposed to be central europe.
Ishval and Xerxes were the middles east
Xing was Mongol China.
And Drachma was Russia.
The only reason the japs are casting all asian is because getting white actors is really expensive and they want to film the movie in japanese.
It's not a beautiful thing.
It's just a question of money.
God, this shit makes me sick. How can anybody have his head stuck so far up his own ass.
It's full metal alchemist.
Who gives a fuck, it's going to be terrible.
whoa... a japanese movie... has no white people in it ... revolutionary...
>>70005073
Holy shit, are you telling me an Asian studio is going to fill their movie with Asian actors?
>>70005644
Just like the "wonderful" Attack on Titan movie, where not only everyone had germanic names, but it was kind of a big deal that one of the characters had asian features.
Also they made it post apocalyptic instead of a fantasy setting for reasons.
Wait so this isn't a Hollywood production right?
If that's the case, whatever lets Japs have an all Jap cast. I've seen them just have Jap actors wearing shitty blonde wigs in stuff like the Prison School live action movie (didn't watch it, just saw a clip out of curiosity)
If they prefer their own race playing these parts then that's fair. If this was a Hollywood production I'd call SJW bullshit since it should attempt to appeal to the mostly white audience here in the USA.
>>70005073
that's cool I just won't go see it
>>70005629
Xerxes was more like pre-islamic Iran, and Ishval was not-Afghanistan.
>>70005073
I wonder what that faggot has to say about the fact that Arakawa drew asain characters distinctly differently from the ones that were supposed to be white.
He can take his stick figures and shove them up his ass.
>>70005073
Japanese cucks can fuck it up as many time as they want. It doesn't count. It is bad if it is made bu hollywood and ends up being bad though.
>If I draw a stick figure, most Americans will assume that it is a white man.
Maybe you should fucking learn how to use colors then?
>>70005073
Most of the time the Japanese seem very intelligent, but then I hear about something like this and just laugh at how stupid they are. Can't wait to see the Asian Blonde guy!
>>70005073
Eugh have they even read the manga/watched the anime? It's SJW heaven with plenty of diversity . Previously persecuted minorities get justice and represented by government. Stonk Asian women who can handle themselves. Main antagonist is a white male. Main protagonist would have failed in the first few episodes if it wasn't for his stronk (but hot) neighbour
Amestris is basically 1900s Germany. In the original anime it's literally Germany in an alternate dimension.
The have plenty of asain characters from alternate China (Zing), plus Russians (Drachma), Arabs (Ishbal)
Asain Edward and Winry with their blonde hair is going to look ridiculous.
they could cast the king of britannia from code geass as a white dude and people would complain. people are stupid.
>>70006015
I love that picture, best sisters.
>animekino is actually happening
good fucking god please no
>>70006054
It's just a japanese movie. Nothing new.
Why can't japanese people act?
>>70005073
Judging from this thread its just another japanese made anime adaptation right? Then what is the fucking problem? Attack on Titan is canonically white/European but their movie was all asian because they made it in Japan. See this isn't my problem, all of these countries can make their movies like Japan and India and cast them with Japanese and Indians. My problem is when people complain about Hollywood, for example, making something and casting mostly white people when the majority of America IS white. The demographics in Hollywood shows and tv generally reflect the US population's demographics. The only demo overrepresented are blacks and asians are underrepresented. I think gays/lesbians are overrepresented as well but can't remember for sure.
Growing up and a lot of my adult life I would enjoy media without even noticing race. I could watch something with an all black cast, and never once notice it was an all black cast. I could do the same with an all white cast. Now with this huge surge in identity politics and black lives matter bullshit taking storm in the media, race is all I see and I fucking hate blacks now. I dislike blacks until I get to know them, when it used to be the other way around. I used to be fine with gays/lesbians, now I fucking despise their baby whiny asses.

Nah fuck that, I'd go for the meatiest of meatheads and against better judgment choose Jai Courtney, just imagine him bald with a handlebar mustache
Guys, it's just some retard columnist's opinion. The real reason there's no white people is because it's a fucking Japanese movie, all this bullshit political stuff is some nobody journalist's opinion, the actual people who are making it don't have any agenda. The characters are going to be Asian because an Asian studio is making it and not importing actors who don't speak fucking Japanese.
I mean it's probably going to be complete shit anyway, but blame this retard for their opinion, the studio is just doing the smart thing and hiring actors who speak the right language and are from their own country.
>>70005495
That's not a race, though.
Either you're Native American, European, African, Asian or a mix of some of them (most Latinos are Native American with some European).
Also, SJWs don't care about us (Chilean here), they only care about nigs and Asians if it's about """whitewashing""" (otherwise, nigs are the priority).
Why do you think they called Empire (a show with basically only black people) the most diverse show in current times?
How could a Jap pull off the role Tom Selleck was born to play?
>>70006613
How about TOM HARDY? You know why...
>Edward
>Alphonse
>japanese
I mean it's a Japanese movie made by Japanese people so ofc they're all going to be asian. Before I read the thread I assumed this was an American adaptation or some shit.
>>70006623
I should also mention that the people who are going around and gushing over how awesome the fact that a Japanese movie has an all Japanese cast should by their same logic be gushing over the idea that Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones should have all white casts. It's not diversity when you hire a cast that is entirely composed of the main race in your country, I mean they could go look at almost every Japanese and Chinese movie ever made and somehow think that the directors are so progressive for hiring all Asian casts.
>>70006699
oh man Alphonse with current Japanese CG?
LOL
>>70006678
Oh shit, I forgot about Hardy. Yeah, he can do it. But only if Aiden Gillen plays Kimblee.
is this growing trend of anime into live action, a good thing?
All Jap cast means there won't be any filthy fucking Jews and Gyspies in any of the scenes.
I don't see how this can be anything but a positive.

Some dumbass took Kite, a fucking porn animu full of degenerate interracial cocks being plunged into all holes, all the time, and turned it into a bland, nudeless teenage Nikita.
In fairness to the author:
>Amestris, the country where the bulk of the series takes place, is obviously fictional, but it’s heavily inspired by Edwardian-era Great Britain and German culture.
>Edward (subtle), Fullmetal Alchemist‘s flaxen-haired protagonist
>As the series progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that Amestris is more or less a stand-in for Europe.

>a Japanese movie has Japanese people in it
How progressive. Truly, the thing that Japan has been doing for nearly a hundred years is startling and new.
And The Simpsons have expressly referred to themselves and their fellow yellow-skinned peers as white.
>>70005073
Like those jap schoolgirls that think that casting a caucasian for an anime adaption is better because its closer to the characters look?
>>70005073
He is right. Japs are mentally colonized people

He has to have golden eyes.
>>70007180

Already said it should be Tom Cruise, age up Edward, full prosthetics alphonse, full EoT treatment
Why is it that when asians show interrest in western history and culture i feel proud of my heritage but when whites do the same with asian culture its supposedly the worst thing in the world according to SJWs?
>>70007511
I assume this is rhetorical since seriously answering would require SJWs to be logical.
>>70005073
But are there black people in the movie?
If not I'm calling racism. SJWs should get on this.
>>70005073
Remember when attack on Titan used an all Asian cast even though asians are nearly extinct in the lore.
>>70005073
>non-Japanese people see “white” anime characters as white because of their own deep-seated media biases.
Then why do Japanese people see "white" anime characters as white?

This is so full of shit it's not even funny
If an African that lived his entire life in Africa would draw a stick figure and showed it to another African both of them would assume the stick figure represent a black guy
That's because for their entire life the majority of people living near them was Black and the majority of females had varying degrees of tits and long hairs while most male had short/blald hair
Nobody in Africa questions the fact that Santa is represented as a black guy despite being a nordic myth because black is the standard back there, so nobody would even think of representing him as a white guy
QUICK, Cast your ideal FMA live adaptation:
Armstrong = The Rock?/Tom Hardy?
Winry = Blonde Pepe Foot Goddess
Fuhrer Bradley = Tom Selleck
Voice of Alphonse =
Ed =
Their Dad =
Kimblee = Aiden Gillen

Fullmetal Alchemist literally has Chinese people in it, who are different from the blonde/white Amestrians (Amestrites?). This is probably the worst anime to use that argument for.
>>70007896
>Blonde pepe foot goddess
Are you talking about Brighton Sharbino?
>>70005073
But the nation that FMA takes place is is like parallel universe Germany. They're fucking Germans. In that one FMA movie, the parallel universe is literally fucking Nazi Germany. This isn't hard to figure out. They even gave them white fucking names. They have goddamned Chinamen come up from wherever it was they were from. We know what Asians look like in FMA juxtaposed with the whites.
That's just as stupid as the Attack on Titan film being Asians. Mikasa is literally the last goddamned Asian, according to the story. It takes place in Europe as well. We've reached a new level of fucking retarded.

This is decades old shit that they do for pretty much anything. Whether it be a drama, stage-play, or movie. I mean they already have a third(?) Death Note movie coming out.
None of this is new at all, it's just this shit never leaves Japan nor receives attention. The only reason this one gets any is because FMA is full of white people.
>>70006678
Tom Hardy would actually be fucking awesome in that role. He's built as fuck, just give him the stache and shave his head.
So... which Full Metal Alchemist is worth watching? FMA or FMA brotherhood?

>>70007896

>>70008765
Brotherhood is better, it was made after the source material was finished. FMA was made while the author was still writing/drawing, so there are a ton of pointless filler episodes and it has its own ending which isn't really that good imo.

It's hilarious watching people act so surprised that a series is getting a movie adaptation. I can think of like 9 different series off the top of my head that are getting a movie or live-action show some time in the future. It's nothing new at all and nothing to make a big deal out of. It's aimed entirely at a Japanese audience as movies like these rarely come westward and they probably have no money anyways so I'm not sure why anyone expects foreign actors.
>Animes aren't based on whites
We've seen what they look like when they choose to design them on Asians and it was fucking awful.
>SJWs trying to infest anime and manga
So this is what Anno meant by death of the industry, bad enough we've got trapped in a video game world shit we're going to get this too, it's not like industries have learned from what's happened with the comic, movie and television and video gaming industry, they need to know that adding in progressive shit doesn't make up for having a good story.

The story LITERALLY takes place in a parallel-universe version of Britain.
So the first movie will end either after Lust dies or right before they meet Father I assume.

But people in FMA ARE white, there is even an Asian country in the world a couple of Asian characters who stand apart in the central European inspired country where the story takes place.
>>70011988
I don't think so. The first anime seemed to have a lot better flow, Dante seemed like a way better villain, and the homunculus being personally tied to their creators was a way better twist to me.
Plus Conqueror of Shamballa is a pretty good movie.
>>70006744
Please just put a guy in a suit of armor and be done with it

>>70005073
Nuke us all, someone please.
racial appropriation aside terry crews could play armstrongs personality very well and has the build to back it up.
The thing is, FMA takes place some Germanic country the character designs reflect this. China basically exists in Brotherhood and confirms what Asians look like too, so they can have all the asian characters they want there if they want.
But with GITS, like, a majority of the story is set in Tokyo, Motoko is confirmed to be some form of Mongolian too.
>>70012379
The thing about Motoko is that she's an android, she can look anyway the creators of the movie want her to look like.
Because that's not her real body.
Motoko could be played by Terry fucking Crews and it would still make sense.
But you'd still complain because

He's right, the issue in this case is that they have white features like blue eyes and blonde hair, or when it's stated(like in Attack on Titan). But I do agree in principle, just look at the retards here at /tv/ that claimed Motoko Kusanagi from GitS is white or that Light from Deathnote is white aswell, which they are obviously not since they are supposed to be japanese. Then again, they changed the race on every character for the new GitS movie but kept their japanese name so they might aswell do the same here.
>>70012799
Kusanagi is a fucking android, it literally does not matter.
>>70012875
What about Togusa then? he's 100% human.
>>70012922
It's almost as if me not commenting on the other casting choices means I actually agree with you that it's bullshit.
But in Kusanagi's case it does not matter.

Its actually kind of an insult to the source material to cast the Amestrians as Japanese because the whole story is based upon the three regions of the world that practiced Alchemy: Amestris being Europe, Ishval being the Middle East, and Xing being China. Making the European practitioners of European alchemy with their European names into Japanese people because "they speak Japanese in the show" is literally retarded and devoid of any thought whatsoever.
Honestly they couldn't have picked a worse anime series to try to yellow-wash.
>>70006647
>fucking up your casting that badly
this anime race argument may just be the most autistic, inane garbage "controversy" I've ever seen on the internet, possible even worse than gamergate.
when the fuck is the race war happening
This is non-news.
But while we're at it, what western anime-productions are coming up?
I hear some studio has bought the rights to Naruto, one for Attack on Titan and that Death Note and Ghost in the Shell are actually already cast and in pre-production. Is there anything else I'm missing?
>>70011708
Fucking kek. Let's see their bitching change anime.

It's a Japanese movie.

lol
>>70005629
>The only reason the japs are casting all asian is because getting white actors is really expensive and they want to film the movie in japanese.
Pretty much.
The live action Attack On Titan is all Japanese actors too, and Mikasa is the ONLY character in the entire series that's actually 100% asian.
>At the end of the day, though Amestris, Edward, and the entire world created by Fullmetal Alchemist has always been and will always be Japanese at its core. Its characters speak Japanese, they abide by Japanese customs, the series itself is celebrated in Japan, and now, it will look more like Japan.
>>70005073
Like, i understand that there doing that because its an anime, but u still think its fucking dumb if most of te characters in said anime were white. Also, why is it a "beautiful thing" that there not white?
>>70013848
This unfortunately. Honestly Dwayne Johnson has the best fit for this role, he's really jacked and often plays the role of sort of tough guy who's a big softie deep down.
I don't really care, it's going to be stupid
>>70005073
>Alphonse and Edward Elric
>Not white
Ok, what?
Do these retards there's an Asian like continent in that universe?

Gotta love how retard SJW are
FMA is good but it has no stakes
it is so safe it hurts

They don't know better, is our mission to teach them that they should hire Japs only

Looks like I was right
>Others, like writer Julian Abagond, argue that non-Japanese people see “white” anime characters as white because of their own deep-seated media biases
Confirmed for not knowing a damn thing about anime
It's to appeal to Western audiences
Pic related, these aren't white
Who would you cast as the most handsome man in the show?
Japanese girls look better when they dye their hair that chestnut brown color. Discuss.

That's clearly a white guy even by anime standards
I never understood anime.
Every character they draw is fucking white. Elrich has fucking blonde hair for godsakes
AYYY
this is fucking ridiculous when it's set in an adaptation of Germany and WWII era.
It's fucking retarded that Airbender had a white cast and now full metal is full asian.
What next? Genghis Khan portrayed by a black transexual.
This some Tom Cruise Last Samurai shit.

Both FMA and Brotherhood were great though. I can't imagine a live action movie being good however.
>>70017365
It takes place around the early 20th century, so no.

How is that a wrong assessment? You do think the default human is white.
>>70012096
You didn't think Father was a cool antagonist? I liked that the homonculi could all be seen as apects of his own wants and desires.

This is the only reasonable reaction.
They have a thread for this on /pol/.
>>>/pol/75070762
Now stop shitting up our board.
>>70017904
/pol/ knows as much about anime and film as they know about politics. Like fuck I'm going there to discuss a movie.

In other news, the upcoming german movie is full of germans.
So it comes down to this:
Ghost in the Shell VS. Full Metal Alchemist
White Washing VS Yellow Washing
Modern update VS Staying True to the Author's Intent
The winner will be determined by who makes more.
I LOVE IT. MMMBOOYS
>>70018101
Playing Germans...
Shit senpai, even Tarantino made the effort of getting a German/Austrian cast for the Germans.
>>70017967
This is a /pol/ thread though. You'll find no artistic merit here.

is not about how accurate they are, is about the budget and the fact they have to speak japanese fluently
>>70018315
You know white Japanese exist, right?
>>70005073
That's beyond retarded. FMA is one of the few anime where whitewashing would actually make sense. The setting is Europe and the main character is blonde with hazel eyes and is called Edward Elric. And HE is going to be a jap?
And the japanese-made android called Motoko Kusanagi will be a white woman. Nothing makes sense.
>>70018375
>implying any of this matters since both movies will be shit
>>70018261
I've been here since you were in diapers kiddo. Back to your capeshit thread.
>>70006234
>above soap opera tier.
Well, Prison School has an intentionally over the top tone for the content it has, that's where most of the comedy comes from.
>>70018456
But they'll still make enough on tasteless idiots who long to give money to studios so that they can effectively pay to not think so that more shit like this will constantly get made in the near future.
I STILL can't believe they're making a Western PG-13 live action remake of Ghost in the fucking Shell.
>an Asian studio uses Asian actors
STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES
*sigh*
> White liberal SJW writes article complaingng about racism towards asians
> Asians literally give ZERO fucks
> White rednecks rush into blame asians as whiners
Jesus fucking Christ you rednecks are getting played like a violin by white liberal SJWs.
>>70020639
You're almost right... except this article was written by a Nigger.
Just stop to think for a second.
Nigger writes aricle to make whites hate asians.
Whites respond just as expected without realizing Asians give zero fucks.
Nigger writes race baiting article about asians... whites eat it up.
>>70013125
They did. It was Attack on Titan, which only takes place in Europe and has only one half Japanese character.
That being said, who gives a shit? This is a Japanese production, not something out of Hollywood with a big budget. So obviously it's only going to have Japanese actors.
>>70018354
This time I don't mind.
Usually anime draws people as caucasian, but I am fully supportive finally of having live adaptations funded by western studios not being raped with stupid western actors.
We'll see how it goes.
It could have been worse
They could have castedVic Mignogna as Edward
>Implying its going to matter
>Implying that it wont be an absolutle syfy cgi tier trainwreck like every other japanese adaptation of an anime/manga
This is like complaining about the all black Annie movie. Let it implode on its own

Confirmed to have never read or watched it.
Anyone getting flustered either way is fucking retarded. Japan shits out like 20 adaptations a year and they're all garbage that almost never leaves the country.
This is going to be some low budget forgettable tripe (see SnK movie), but for some reason everyone thinks this is some Hollywood level production.
Fuck them, literally thinking that a blond guy called Edward elric could be Japanese is just retarded, also, Xing won't make any sense
>>70011708
>expecting an entire overseas culture to change who and what they are to appease some fat chick halfway around the globe who probably streams the stuff on third party websites and buys none of the merchandise.
>Japan makes an all Japanese movie as usual
>This is somehow a big win for Asian Americans in Hollywood, take that White man!
What?
Attack on Titan did an all Japanese movie recently & no one cared, most people don't even know it's in Europe, because yes Anime characters do look White
>>70006111
Because despite all the messages anime, LN, and manga seem to push about friendship and love or whatever, the Japanese culture itself is still very focused on business and repressed emotions. They still do shit like career testing on students and take it seriously. Nobody is being taught how to act over there and nobody wants to learn seriously probably. They don't take their media as seriously as we do.
>>70005495
Were always left out despite us ruling the US in a couple generations.
FMA has pretty clear races

That website says it's satire but still sjws are idiots. Japan usually does all Japanese actors for their movies.

>>70023948
Fact there are more whites alive now than ever before. It's just you poop skins are having too many kids which will ultimately kill this planet
I was in favor of Motoko from GiTS being japanese, because she's actually japanese, but this is fucking nonsense. The main character is fucking aryan for Christ's sake.
