lol not exactly, and this may be kind of a stretch but just spit balling and throwing it out there. But when I was growing up my dad introduced me to a lot of karate/kung fu movies and I thought they were so badass, and they had asian actors play the rolls of the protagonist and those were popular with american movie goers back in the 70's and 80's.
Now all american movies (especially sci-fi/horror movies) that were adapted from asian storylines (even asian movies) now have the protagonist as a caucasion, yet a lot of the other characters stay asian. Like the grudge, the ring, edge of tomorrow. And of the actors Caucasian actors in these movies are typically really bad at acting like, sarah michelle gheller , tom cruise, scarlette johanson. Yet now any asian actor thats popular in the american cinema today is a villian or side kick, while the whites, hispanics, and blacks are always the good guys
My dad used to live in tokyo in the 70's and he said it was one of the coolest places ever, and everyone is so nice yet the also are huuuuge undercover hater faces, towards american/white people. And I get it to a point people want to identify with people of a more similar ethnicity while at the movies. But then asians go out of their way to draw anime characters who live in japan with huuuge eyes, and then will call you round eye behind your back.
But then while white people love asian culture a lot of them at the same time despise asians.
Like you can make james bond who was written as a "white" scottsman and then make him black, yet you would never see a movie like django unchained made where I white guy goes on a killing spree killing tons of black people who enslaved him.
cause jedis?
I'm not tripping about it or "triggered" just something I've noticed.

have you seen the animes? the movie looks like they've taken the aesthetic but nothing else; the best things about GITS were it's realistic (and dire) predictions for the future and existential discussions, judging by the trailers I've seen it just looks like a shitty neon action movie with robots

I'm not that into anime, but yes I do like the ghost in the shell cartoons. But yeah they looked liked they really botched this live action again, especially by putting scarlette johanson in it, she's been in several sci-fi movies but none of them were ever good.
(and by the way the aesthetics, look very boring and its been done several times in the last 6 years) It looks almost exactly like the new total recall which was pretty boring
it also looks like that movie domino and that nicole kidman movie aeon flux
but if you want to see a more modern sci-fi asian movie check out tokyo gore police a lot better than this stuff. I'm really into asian horror movies but the american versions are extremely lack luster with even worse acting than their asian counterparts who had highly paid ass actors!

I guess what I'm saying is americans and orientals tend to take an original idea and make it more candy ass on both parts, but hey i guess thats multi national corporations for you.
^i actually have heard about that movie for years, but didn't watch it until nye. its definitely the same kinda cheeze as tokyo gore police, good stuff. seeing iron man solidified that dofsky was a huge weeboo, it looks similar to pie, and his movie black swann was based off of the anime "perfect blue"

Lol, arleybob recc'd be tetsuo back on zoklet. I liked it on the whole but it kinda seemed like tokyo resident does Jodorowsky. To this day the "fight scene" sticks in my mind as a high point of what the fuck-ness.
I'm not sure there are many americans who have any real problem with south east asians, as immigrants they're about as inoffensive as you can get. Weeabooism is a ghetto though, it attracts the mentally unstable and has becomes stigmatized as a product, which again feeds into the attracting the mentally unstable.
