The comic was absolutley epic

the movie was amazing, the comics were even better, and Kanye West rips it off and everyone thinks he's the shit.

Akira the manga left me dazzled. The movie left me breathless.
True hardcore sci-fi, garnished heavily with futuristic dystopia, with no punches pulled. The miniscule detailing of the manga was carried into the film. Fuck that shit.
The movie was also the only anime film where the characters were animated to annunciate the Japanese dialogue, as far as I know.

Music video:
"Stronger" with Kanye and Daft Punk

Musicians usually rely on somebody else to do everything related to videography for them. I doubt Kanye had anything to do with it.

Most of the time somebody else comes up with an idea for a movie and gets it approved by the star's manager or something.

Or perhaps, Kanye INSISTED on the video being that way because he loves Akira. Or maybe Daft Punk insisted that the movie be a tribute to Akira.

Either way, it's promoting Akira instead of hurting it.

For the record:

I don't like that song. lol

Spriggan was animated so that lip flap matched dialogue...I'm not sure if Akira actually was

same hallway, lights, everything except the gore.

it's in his video for that song with daft punk. stronger or whatever.

The video features multiple scenes which pay homage to the 1988 anime film Akira.[5] Both West and Williams had originally planned to integrate scenes from the film.

Oh no, I am now intrigued and must see "Spriggan!"

Reference a good site to me where I may be able to find it for download? I don't but anything without sampling it first.

(Hookers hate that about me.)

The artstyle for Spriggan looks hideous.


And yeah Akira was animated to match human phonetics, try watching the manking off were they explain that.

The movies needed some background knowledge on your part to understand. Philistines will never get what the hell they are saying.

The thing about the 2nd GitS movie that I couldn't get over was how EVERY 5TH LINE WAS A DAMN QUOTATION, whether from the Bible, or some philosopher, or some obscure novel. Oshii, I think you were trying a little too hard.

The TV series is much better than the movies.
