𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤 𝙯𝙚𝙥. 𝙞 '𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙖 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚. hi friend!! i want to add the quick disclaimer that i'm the most casual anime fan and i know i'm nowhere near an authority on this. i think the metric i would use is the location of the original anime and how large or small of an impact that location and culture have on the story world. for example, while the netflix adaptation of death note was unwatchable, the basic idea of a high school boy meeting a spirit of death and being given the ability to kill is pretty universal. so if you're looking at a direct adaptation of the original story, it's impossible to ignore that light and his family are japanese. on the other hand, i think there are actually a lot of ways that netflix could have done an interpretation of the death note story set in america that would have been really interesting and successful. for anime that take place in the future or similar, like one piece and cowboy bebop, i think you have a lot more creative license with the characters. imo i would cast the characters more or less individually based on what we know about their background. but then we fall into kind of a tricky middle ground. take black butler or kingdom hearts (i'm sorry i don't know final fantasy lol); while they're both manga/anime, neither actually take place in japan. i think in some cases, it's pretty obvious when characters are explicitly white, black, etc and not japanese. but in others, i'll be honest, i'm not really sure what that line is! i know i have a technique for this in real life, but that wouldn't translate to rp. i feel like it would probably be appropriate to cast with more or less "colorblindness" in these situations. just as we wouldn't expect western cartoon media to be automatically be white unless otherwise specified, i think at its core anime is a reference to the medium or style rather than inherently signifying anything about the location or characters.

i do think it's weird imo to use zendaya as a fc for mary jane— zendaya IS the mcu version of mary jane, but idk it's just kinda! weird to me, esp with how mcu has the confirmed the spiderverse through the different peters. and so to use zendaya, you're also making it so michelle can't be played, or as if you're erasing her character. the other peters don't all look alike, so why should mj and michelle? if you want to keep to zendaya's ethnicity, then there are fcs you could use
