Anyway your opinion is also non-sense to me, just as mine is to yours  If you don't agree that most Anime characters look white but are actually Japanese (look at Naruto for example) then give me a reason why you still disagree.
Another example is Gundamn Wing. All the kids who fight in the Gundams (Heero, Trowa, Quatre, Chang and Duo) have different ethnicities. Quatre is actually an Arab and looks white. Heero is Japanese but looks white. Trowa I have no idea but he looks white. Chang is Chinese but looks white and Duo is the only American is meant to be white anyway.
So it may seem logical to you that an actor look similar to what Anime charater they may be playing but I think the underlying personality should be the same. I just can't picture Justin Chatwin playing the amazingly awesome Goku. On top of that I don't think Goku's hair would suit him either |
Ok, let me put it this way. In DBZ, there are the chars UUB, ANDROID #8, ADVISOR BLACK, BORA and some others that don't look white... Should they be played by Japanese also?
And again, so what if they look white or not? They should be played by people that look similar!! What your complaining about makes me think, how can you accept these animes when they look white and have asian culture (because to me, it sounds like you're saying in real life they have to be asian so that their char fits better)? If you can look at chars and see them being white in an anime, whats the big problem with looking at them in a live movie as white white with asian culture (if you insist on calling it asian culture)?
as for the personality, thats up to acting. It has nothing to do with them being asian! Thats like saying a white person cannot act the same as goku because goku is asian and the actor isn't. Thats silly to me, because it depends on the acting!
