Actually OP is right - the film has cast all Japanese actors for a series that has like two people of (implied) Japanese descent, and one is only half. I kinda want a version like OP does but I certainly don't mind the racebending in this film. Only the Mikasa romance angle is really my only gripe about the film. But, hey, it might turn out okay?

yes, I think we all know that the characters aren't Japanese (besides Mikasa and her family)

I was referring to Hollywood's tendency to whitewash and how ridiculous and dumb OP sounds for implying that for once the whitewashing is a good thing (hint: it's not, because it's a slippery slope if Hollywood decides to adapt another popular manga. Not to mention making a white character into a POC is really, really not the same thing as whitewashing.)

Oh, well that I understand. You're right. It does sound dumb to imply the whitewashing would be good for once - I've yet to see that be the case (see: whitewashed!Tiger Lily in new Peter Pan adaptation). =/

Well the characters in AoT are white European for the most part. So no, their race doesn't match the manga.

But it's a stupid thing to complain about. They localized the movie so they could cast Japanese actors, big deal. It's a Japanese manga so... what's wrong with that??

It's way less weird than when they had a Japanese guy playing in ancient Roman in Thermae Romae.

Argh Thermae Romae.

I also can sympathize with making a Japanese movie and really only having Japanese actors. There ARE some non-Japanese actors in Japan, but they just rarely have the starpower... or even acting training that the Japanese stars do. To some extent, it just can't be helped, when you need someone who can speak Japanese fluently. It's one thing to get a few actors, another to get an entire cast, so Attack on Titan changing races is a bit more understandable. But when the actors are SUPPOSED to be a different race (like Thermae Romae) it's awkward no matter how understandable.

I watched that and I could totally see them as romans. only thing that annoyed me were the glued-on beards.
