I was looking at it more from the 'marketing to weaboos' issue than any issue of racism. If they can manage to write a Japanese team that aren't based on what Anime fans like or common misconceptions, then ok. They'd have a lot of research to do on actual culture, though, and should probably collaborate with some writers and directors from Japan for perspective on that.

I love anime, actually. I just get tired of the creepy obsession some people in the West have with Japan just because of anime and fashion, and all the delusional bs they talk about 'what Japan is like' 'why Japan is better'.

FP, what anime offended you, btw? Most of the ones I watch are set in different worlds/future worlds so I lack experience with that.

I think you'd enjoy this one.
