The characters of anime occupy a unique lane of appearance and character that no human can compare; well, at least not most humans. In a recent Twitter exchange, one film industry journalist made the claim that Australian actress Ruby Rose (John Wick: Chapter 2, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) looks like an anime character come to life:

Well, after seeing that Tweet, Ruby Rose came back with a perfect response that anime fans will probably love:

Needless to say, anime fans are pouncing on that comparisson, dropping all kinds of suggestions about what kind of anime character Rose would be:

The footage that started this whole conversation came from the new trailer for The Meg, the international shark thriller starring Rose alongside Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson and more, as a team of deep-sea divers and scientists discover a prehistoric shark known as a megalodon stalking waters off the coast of China. The American-Chinese joint production is just one of several international hits that Rose has been a part of – so who’s to say a live-action anime blockbuster isn’t in her future, as well. She might be one of a select few who could get a pass on the whitewashing controversies that have plagued films like Scarlett Johansson’s Ghost In The Shell.
