I had the same thought. Apparently if you choose to write a story with a foreign motif...it can never be adapted in your native country. Who knew? Though that's ignoring the fact that the actual manga story takes place in a fictional world to begin with, that's only loosely based on Europe, but that's neither here nor there. They better hire a naturally golden-eyed half-Xerxian/half-Amestrian kid for the lead role, or this will apparently be a big fail. |
Ah but when I hear the name "Edward" or "Alphonse", in what world would I think that they would be Japanese? It might be fictional, but they don't give fictional names to the main characters.
In Rurouni Kenshin, Himura Kenshin has a japanese name, but red hair. So they give him a japanese actor with red hair, which is fine.
