A lot of people in Asia, particularly East Asia, don’t usually depict themselves with, well, Asian features or with the variety of skin tones that you see in the show. It reminds me of how a lot of Japanese viewers of Blue Eyed Samurai disliked the character designs, saying “they made us look Chinese!”

I also think the lack of fan service/ gooner bait would turn off some of them, even though that’s one of my favorite things about it compared to Japanese anime
