AKIRA
Has anyone seen this movie?
Its an amazing Anime about a huge city in the future
with all the problems like gang violence, drugs, impoverishment; plitical instability...
In this environment gang leader Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo get involved with a mysterious child with exceptional abilities...http://http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,33,xmjics,akira.html
Its really awesome, go and watch it. And get the OST ;too
So my question is, If anyone has seen this movie I would appreciate if he could explain the end^^

Hi,
Yeah..I watched it a few years ago and I thought it was good. But I also couldn't understand the ending. Maybe I have to watch it one more time to really understand the story... :)
-
Have you tried looking on the web for commentaries. I know one of my old uni lecturers did a thing on Akira in his book, not sure if the content ever made it online. Try a google search for it.
-
does anyone really understand the ending? seriously akira confirmed my childhood fears that my stuffed animals WERE out to kill me.
-
And drugs arent really good for your health either (Tetsuo)...
I really wonder if Tetsuo and the three children were dead in the end.
Links are welcome^^
-
mmm...drugs...happy pills for tetsuo! yes no better way to end a confusing/ambiguous anime then with a HUGE explosion and then credits
if i were the writers of that i'd kill my characters too
oh did i mention i happen to like the movie as well?
-
Good news!
They did some kind of restauration with Akira like they did with star wars 4-6 (cleaning the picture,...),but no new scenes afaik.

hard to explain if you haven't read the Manga
Do yourself a favor and read them. They are great!

i suggest u read the manga before you watch, the manga is a much better than the anime since the movie is trying to pack more than 10000 pages into 90 minutes...but hey atleast the graphics were awesome
-
I seen Akria years ago before I was into anime.
I never really liked it at all. I still say theres better out there. But some people think its pretty good.
Thats my opinion.
Vash XD

This movie is what got me started into watching anime HEAVILY. I remember when it first got released on video in the US all those years ago. The dub was actually decent then, the new one is just completely laughable (not that I care since I don't watch dubs anymore at all). I was extremely surprised to see that there are people who have just seen this movie for the first time recently, then I realise how old I am and that most of the people posting here are probably a lot younger than me... This is a classic anime.
PS: I had to watch it a couple of times before the ending made sense. I suggest you do the same. :D

Every anime fan has or will watch Akira; the style of it is amazing for a show made in 1988. It's sad that some animated movies or oavs can't get that type of quality. Don't get me wrong I understand money is an issue. But Akira still looks sweet today. And it's a great story. <My opinion> I hope to read the manga one day.

well i read the manga ( & now i need to buy it (http://baka.littleboboy.net/smiley/redface.gif) ) it's really nice , the anime is not really good (in my opinion) but it's probably due to the fact that i read the manga before .
