INTERVIEW WITH TEKKONKINKREET DIRECTOR - HE'S ANGLO!?!
This is news to me. Studio 4C's upcoming feature animation, TEKKONKINKREET (aka TEKKON KINKURITO) based on the manga known in the States as "Black & White" is directed by a white guy. Huh??!?? Is this the first Japanese theatrical anime to be directed by a whitey? You can read all about Michael Arias in an interview with Patrick Macias. And here's Patrick breaking down the tale of how this came to be.

White people need to stop making a a big deal about themselves crossing over cultural barriers. It's not a big deal. The dude lived in japan for 15 yrs. Culture is not based on artificial racial construct. Animation is a craft and a culture. He payed his dues like any japanese person and therefore he got put on. Other westerners didn't get put on because they suck and are insesitive to the nuances of the craft. In other words, his outstanding qualities aren't the color of his skin or his ethnicity.
