I'm feeling offended by your use of the word "people".The word 'racist' lost all meaning for me the day I was accused of racism for daring to say North and South America are two different continents. People just throw it around for anything they happen to feel like on the day.
ES, the only thing that is even close to anime that I have enjoyed, was the Teen Titans tv show. My daughter is into stuff like Bey Blades and all that; can't stand that stuff. I seriously wonder why so many of the characters seem to be a very bad stereotype of what Japanese must think non-Japanese people are like. I find the characters overly annoying and cloying, the art is iffy, and the emotional reactions so over-the-top that it makes me wanna hurl.
Phil, I didn't say this movie would automatically be anime. Also, i don't think of Big Hero 6 as a true superhero comics genre, they seem to be in a side-category of their own, and one that i definitely do not enjoy. But by choosing such a silly hero team to think of making a movie about, it seems fairly obvious they are hoping to draw in anime fans with anime-type characters such as Big hero 6 employ on their team. (or is that reverse-anime characters?)
If they want to do a weird team, why not the Great Lake Avengers? Heck, they could have chosen the highly-irrational early lineup of the West Coast Avengers. At least neither of these is likely to be as annoying as BH6. (Plus, they'd both benefit greatly from having 'Avengers' in their title)
IF this movie gets made, i won't be seeing it.
