yup subs only tho

From a stylistic standpoint, yes.

Watched only 15 minutes because I needed to do something else.
It's already in my top 30.

i dont normally watch jap crap but i liked it

It's okay. The story got butchered due to time limitations but the animation is great.

Anime only pleb here but I never found the story jarring at all. What specific point does it deviate from the manga, and why does it make it a flaw for a viewer who never read the manga and so wouldn't know the difference?

Extremely based but if your brain run on extrogens, you will probably dont understand it.

Manga and this movie have two complete different stories. In the manga Akira, after resurrection, run a part of the city as a dictator sorta, with Tetsuo as his right arm.

Ok, so it's really they bullshitted the end in order to wrap up the movie. That's fair though still not knowing that I think the movie functions adequately from a story standpoint. I'll just have to read the manga and see what they left out.

If you accept that films are about character drama and relationships between people, then the central part of the film is Kaneda and Tetsuo's relationship. And the entire plot hinges on it. So shouldn't the first act be them as friends? So that we actually care when their relationship disintegrates, and we care about Kaneda trying to save his friend and Tetsuo's inferiority complex?

That would mean more comfy biker gang antics too.
The opening scene is absolutely incredible but i think they shouldn't have Tetsuo be taken at the end of it, they should have 30 minutes before that happens, where Kaneda and Tetsuo's relationship isn't broken. So you care when it brakes.
Orphanage flashbacks aren't good enough. That's just emotionally manipulative tripe.

To the people who actually think the film is flawless, did you really care about kaneda and tetsuo?

Dude lmao bikes and telepathy moving stuff and becoming monster

It’s a director tries to be edgy for the first time anime, webs add nonexisting layers to try to make their perversion deep. And yes anime is a perversion. It’s basically legalized child pornography

>functions adequately from a story standpoint
It functions adequately. But the real strength of Akira is the world it depicts. The city teeming with different factions, biker gangs, military, doomsday cults, terrorists. The world building is unparalleled. The art, the animation, the design, the music are 10/10. There are a lot of really interesting themes and ideas in it.

So just an adequate story and adequate voice acting really lets it down. Because it's a masterpiece in other regards.

The film is about the Japanese psyche re total annihilation from the bombs, and how a society rebuilds after its people have been broken.

weeb trash

Again, this is a site for anime, anime can be discussed on non-anime boards

Comparing Yea Forums to runescape or bodybuilding forums is utterly retarded. People come to runescape forum mainly to discuss the game, same thing for bodybuilding forums. The subject those forums were created for is the most popular topic of discussion over there. Now ask yourself, do people mainly come to discuss anime on Yea Forums in the current year? Is anime the most popular topic on Yea Forums? Fuck no .

sure but no need to flip out because we say it's gay

Bruh weebs are some of the most fragile faggots out there. I made a joke to a good friend of mine the other day who likes watching a lot of anime and he went from jovial not giving a fuck like he usually is to completely seething and out of characters. Mongolian Chinpokomon cartoons need to be put down and mentally ill weebs deprogrammed.

Except Yea Forums was made for discussing anime, the first two boards were Yea Forums - Anime General and Yea Forums - Anime/Random, the creator was a literal weeb and the userbase were weebs.

Again, why don't you go to a site like Reddit? Seriously asking. This is an anime site, hating anime will get people yelling at you. Why not go to reddit where 90% of the userbase hates anime and 10% only likes it ironically?

Please go the fuck back to Yea Forums before the mods delete your weeb trash thread like they did 5 minutes ago.

Ok, so what? It was 16 years ago, communities change. Runescape is still the most popilar topic on runescape forum, bodybuilding is still the most popular topic on bodybuilding forum, but anime isn't the most popular popular on Yea Forums. You can verify it by checking the stats and the amount of anime pictures on non-anime boards.

summer is here again

Yeah I liked it.

It's funny you say this but will still cry about sandniggers taking over europe.
You people are doing the exact same thing as sandniggers are doing.

Reddit isn't an anonymous imageboard. You have to get it through your thick skull that the main attraction of Yea Forums isn't anime, but an anonymous style of posting

>filthy weebshit redirecting me to reddit
are you for real
the reason why the thread is so slow is because you won't find many people defending this kind of faggotry

Then go to cripchan, it's basically the same thing as reddit but anonymous

It's slow.

The manga is 6 chapters and the movie came out when only chapter 2 was done so they do a part of the end there and call it a day. In the manga Tetsuo installs Akira as a Supreme Leader and the city fights amongst multiple factions vying for control, until Tetsuo becomes an international incident, he takes down a US Aircraft Carrier, ascends with Akira, and Kaneda declares Japan an isolationist empire while firing at UN Relief efforts trying to bring them food.

i dont remember shinji riding a bike

Yes. A stupid plot a bad movie doesn't make.

Akira is cool and memorable, a must watch.

Just like your brain

The movie is better. The details added by the comic book are unnecessary. Despite this I would still recommend to read the comic book, but not if you seek a better plot

The detail is a part of the appeal and the manga has conent the movie seriously could have used

No, watch Blade Runner instead (Directors Cut, Final Cut sucks ass)
