If they are I want to see an asian play Ichigo I'll be damned if this thing gets whitewashed
This is exactly what will happen. Hollywood has the perception that Asian males can't have leading roles in American developed films because they don't have wide spread appeal. The Last Airbender is a perfect example of this.
Didn't see Airbender, didn't see dragon ball Z. WON'T be seeing this cause i'm pretty sure it'll be just as bad.
