When something is set in China, to me, it makes a bigger difference. If it's an American film based on an anime, I can understand them making the characters American (whatever the quality of the film). To me it seems like M. Night wanted to make an epic, and ignored the feel of the series. Also, this kind of film is entirely out of his genre, so the choice of him as director always seemed odd to me.
