From what you say, there's almost no way of avoiding it if they're going to be in Paris/Prague/Vienna...
And I agree: if they use Japanese actors to play Europeans, it'll be ridiculous... And most likely suck.

I suppose... But Japan's not some backward 19th-century nation.
There's no way they could've gotten away with that stuff here in the States.
Anyways, just trying to make a point.
Yeah, and in hana yori dango, they portray african-americans as
a) servants
b) thugs
c) bodyguards

That guy (Takenaka Naoto) always plays oddball characters... I found him less annoying than the flaming gay guy.

It's actually 2 gays/guys and the whole female population at Momogaoka.
