Regarding “Stereotypes translate well on screen“: I can see where some might think that the characterizations of Asians might be a bit offensive, particularly when seen through Western eyes. However, you might also find it interesting to understand the real translations of the Japanese dialogue. The question then becomes which stereotypes do we really talk about?
Perhaps the title really does explain it. Maybe it’s just a matter of which translation you are looking for.
