Next year we will have a live action FMA movie. The cast will be strictly Japanese, which I think is awesome and refreshing. My only problem is, isn't Edward European? In fact, most in FMA either have European names or they have European features(blue eyes, blond hair, round eyes instead of slanted, European names "Van Hoenheim") and the rest Look to be from the middle east.
So, this is probably the only Anime-movie adaptation that I think should have more Europeans than Asains, I only say this because I always pictured most of the characters, white. Now when Naruto or Bleach or AOT get live action adaptations I expect mostly Japanesse casting, because I readily identify most characters in those series as Japanesse( Ay and Killer Bee of the few obvious exceptions) despite having white features (Naruto, Ichigo) and even AOT the walls have Latin names ("maria" etc etc).
Basically casting for comics and casting for manga live adaption is not going to be same simple process.
