Manga is better. Anime is a cover-up with some altered changes.
Carter Smith
Why'd they do Kaori like that?
Luis White
This. Her death left a bad taste in my mouth.
She was the bullied shy girl you wanted to protect.
But she was squeezed to death like a grape.

im too biased to give an objective opinion but i remember watching the japanese vhs as a kid without understanding anything and thought it was the coolest shit. its still pretty cool.
detailed violence, laser guns, psyshit, mutation. looks incredible, ost is cool. its a classic.
its not one of my favourites anymore but i wish anime today would be like this. not that faggot shit for special needs children.
Nathaniel Murphy
Spectacle. A rare production where a shit ton of money and talent was poured into a project for the sole purpose of it just looking amazing, story be damned. It's that kind of anime that impressed people on VHS, so having it in 4K is just a whole new dimension.
Anthony Price
It’s fucking Akira, it slaps
But more importantly, what the hell happened to that new anime meant to adapt the manga fully?
William Jenkins
I just realized Tetsuo pulled the whole transform into a giant man baby before Muzan did it. What the fuck
Joseph Roberts
It's like a less interesting Godzilla. Not sure what all the hype is about.

If they did Akira as a series of movies like we've been getting for many productions lately, it'd work fine. That seemed to be the method for lots of shit like 10 years ago, like with Break Blade and that weird cyberpunk gross anime I forgot about.
Chase Foster
Awesome movie. Was probably my favorite anime film until I just finished watching Perfect blue 20 minutes ago, now I'm not as sure. Got Josh Seth's (Tetsuo dub actor) to sign my copy at a con once because he seemed like a total bro, and he is. I'm still going to only watch it subbed

I remember some weird shit about music theory, too, something like the soundtrack was structured after DNA. Additional to the industrial noises and chanting over noh instruments and just sounding sick as hell.
Chase Martin
Isn't the soundtrack mostly non-western percussion and chanting? I don't really remember much industrial or electronic sounds, but maybe I'm stupid.

Do understand Akira may not have been the first adult anime in America, but it was certainly the first BIG adult-oriented anime in America. It was so big Criterion handled the laserdisc version in the states. Plus, the animation is absolutely gorgeous throughout the entire film. Visually it's one of the greatest animated works ever. A shitton of the movie was at true 24 fps, which a massive feat in and of itself. That's basically twice the manpower any other animated movie takes. The story isn't the strong point but still neat. Cyberpunk hyperviolence is always nice to see.
Joseph Lopez
There's some of. Maybe Kaneda's theme has most of it.
Charles Fisher
The 1980s is when Japanese animation made for a mature or PG 13 audience really gained a much wider appeal. The 60s and 70s has stuff like A Thousand and One Nights and Belladonna, but it does not have something Patlabor, Urusei Yatsura, Nausicaa, or Royal Space Force. Actually, the 70s does have Castle of Cagliostro, but that was basically the gateway into a new era.
Leo Gutierrez
Out of all of those I only heard of Urusei Yatsura and nausicaa (assuming you mean the Ghibli movie) is this stuff super obscure or do I need to watch more anime?
Chase Reed
omg lol it's like five nights at freddys
Thomas Kelly
Do I even laugh and agree or tell you to kill yourself? I don't know on this site anymore.

I must never have looked before. Feels like I should have remembered the composer being a for real mad scientist.
