Anime Episode 4 - Bukatsu Anime: The Movie 2, Washed 2 White

This is the second part of a two part episode. 

In this episode we talk about anime film adaptions. Japan has seen a current wave of anime film adaptations, while Hollywood continues to butcher the source material.

Another thing Hollywood's good at? Whitewashing. We look a the pandemic of whitewashing in Hollywood anime adaptations, most notably, the upcoming Ghost in the Shell and Death Note flicks.

We did not mention Dragonball Evolution, because it's not a real thing.
