Dear Akira folks

Congrats on finally offering a role to a Japanese person. Of course, it's a bad guy (and of course, even here, you offered it to a caucasian first).

I'm sure the rousing success that was the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender is a wonderful role model.

Airbender was a bomb because of shitty writing, not because of a lack of asian people.

No, it bombed because it was an all round shitty movie... the shitty casting choices were a symptom but played a significant factor in it's book-office failure insofar as it pissed off a lot of people who didn't go see it on principle.

Yup, Failurewood strikes again.
