The Shingeki No Kyojin live action, Japanese did the right thing chosing Asian cast
There seems to be many westerners complaining about Japanese action of using Asian cast for the Singeki No Kyojin live action, those westerners are claiming that Shingeki No Kyojin characters are based on westerners. Of course their claim are nonsense because no matter what hair colors, eyes colors, story setting, etc of the Anime characters their facial & body still based on Asians facial & body form which make them still as Asian characters. Just because the story setting are set in the west, did the characters facial & body form of Shingeki No Kyojin are suddently changes from almond shaped eyes, small nose, round face, sharp jaw and smallish body form [ Asians facial & body form ] into deep set eyes, long nose, square face, square jaw and big wide body form [ westerners facial & body form ]? Obviously no, the characters are just typically look the same as other Anime characters from other Anime, so Japanese did the right thing of using Asian cast. Just like what have been explained in here http://www.antiwc.net/group/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3069

I think you need to step back and really consider why you dislike "Westerners" so much.
Ask yourself: "Are Westerners responsible for my crippling penile envy?"

I have never heard any "westerners" complain that "Shingeki No Kyojin characters" are "asian" when they should be "westerners". As a matter of fact, I have never heard anyone say anything about "Shingeki No Kyojin characters".

Anime characters don't look "western" or "asian". They look like strange aliens that are trying to look like humans, but fail.

What?! I have a friend who was born in the US, and he fits the "asian" look. I wonder if it has anything to do with heritage. Let me give you a clue: People of all races live in the "west".

I think you are too worried about stupid stuff, and you are bordering on racism. That is what I think!
