great, expect the same socjus drivel that's right now killing hollywood's legacy IP, dressed up for a new medium with prettier art but the exact same sorry excuses for storytellers. It'll last just long enough to suck in the industry's best and brightest and push the current crop of cash-strapped studios off a fiscal cliff, only to leave everybody high and dry when the number-crunchers finally realize that the core audience - nerdy young men - would rather gouge their eyes out with a spoon than watch this shit, while the diversity pushers clamoring for it never planned to watch it in the first place.

The level of concern in this post about something that would be a minor nuisance to almost everyone else, is remarkable.

It reminds me of a classmate in my political science class (now more than a decade ago) who emailed everyone a passionate blog post about how the Captain America cartoon show turned a generation of Americans against economic progress.

yes, shocking that someone might feel strongly about their interests and subculture
You just described what happened to Star Wars perfectly.
But the shows are for audiences in Asia (at least according to the article) and usually most of Asia outside China (and to a lesser extent SK) look at Japan favorably in terms of culture, so I don’t see them messing with the stories.
