FoxNub_Danishif you talk to people in japan, they don't see those characters as being white a majority of the time fyi, that's just western perceptionDifferaren't meant to look JapaneseNub_DanishDifferThe cast isn't Japanese?why would they be its an anime the characters aren't meant to look Japanese
It's set in Japan, and the characters have Japanese names. They're definitely Japanese.
and they have Japanese names because the show was made with a Japanese audience in mind for instance L (Eru Rōraito) and watari have Japanese names despite being from europe
western population is drawn totally different in a lot of series compared to major characters like samurai champloo, yakitate!! japan, eyeshield 21, steins;gate, etc..
there are europeans in death note most notably the protagonists from the second arc
i don't have really high hopes for this series, but probably will watch it anyways when it's released just for willem dafoe ryuk
tbh i'm surprised they didn't try really hard to try to get zac efron, his high school musical look was pretty much a spot on light lmao
