When you take what is clearly Asian and turn the skin white and go: "Nope! Not Asian. Ours now!"

To me what's lame isn't when a culture borrows something from another, it's when Hollywood says "well an Asian person can't be the star of *INSERT BLOCKBUSTER HERE* because the part's not for Asians". Then they get a movie where there would finally be a starring role for an Asian person ... and they give it Scarlet Johansen. That seems a little F-ed up to me.

There's no reason why every race can't have heroes who resemble them, and yet because of how Hollywood works if you're not white you have very few cinematic ones to choose from.

Sounds like a great anime to me. And I believe it would be Shiyarumengu (if you're transliterating).
