An interesting observation on the casting: They actually made genuinely sharp casting choices when it comes to characters’ appearances. It’s important to note because Hollywood can’t go through one anime adaptation without whitewashing, let alone finding actors who look the part. But here we can see it’s definitely possible to find actors that actually look like the characters they are supposed to play. I just thought it was worth noticing.
