Writer is disappointed at the lack of outrage in Japan:
"The reactions are depressing, but if you've been following up to now, fully predictable. "I think this is better than hiring a Japanese actress," says one woman enthusiastically. "Yeah, it will look more anime-ish if the actors aren't Japanese." Every interviewee seems genuinely flummoxed as to why American audiences would be opposed to the casting."
Personally, I am only concerned that Scarlet or the script won't be very compelling.
