Bolt Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Honestly, that looks cool. Never saw this before. That is the entirety of the “movie” ?
seti88 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Its a trailer, and i suspect to show off movie making skills. Havent heard much else...
electric indigo Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 That trailer is pretty good at hitting the 80s retro future vibe that would fit the subject. The guerrilla trailer thing did work out for the core design team of the fan made GITS intro, who ended up in the production of the 2017 movie.
M'Kyuun Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 For me, tone wise and by having a completely Asian cast, it hit all the right notes. With a bigger budget, I think these guys could pull off a pretty faithful Akira.
Marzan Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 When fans nail the spirit and esthetics of the source material better than multibillion dollar studios, its time for Hollywood to take a long hard look at itself.

505thAirborne Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 This can only go two ways, either a fairly entertaining take on the story or a complete dumpster fire.

Agreed. This has been the case for quite sometime.. It’s difficult to get excited about this now, as Hollywood seems to be clueless when it comes to making really good movies from Anime or Manga..

And seems that kaneda and tetsuo are actual brothers in the show... Hmmm..neo tokyo eh...that means a whole japanese cast? Lol...
Mazinger Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Wonders if Neo-Tokyo will be as grim-dark as the city in Battle Angel Alita. If so, I need to book some tickets and a hotel.

And make the younger one -- Tetsuo.

TangledThorns Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Well, the good news is there will be a AKIRA anime series hopefully next year. I'm just hoping its produced well and follows the manga closely. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/akira-anime-series-works-director-katsuhiro-otomo-1222674
Bolt Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 A continuation of the original movie.. very interesting , indeed..
davidwhangchoi Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 should plug this here too since it mentions Akira

electric indigo Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 We're not gletting closer to a new Akira adaption, which is probably a good thing, but here's an interesting attempt to visualize live action Akira characters by AI art:
TangledThorns Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Interesting. Just wish to know if the AKIRA anime series announced back in 2019 is still in development or not? Probably killed or delayed by COVID, ugh.
TehPW Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 we might get Ikea the Furniture series before anything else 😕
