Akira

HAHAHAHA Akira..... the most violent anime movie ever to be released in America period. O and for those of you who wanrt to see it.... dont expect to understand it right away. It took me 8 whole times of watching the movie to understand it. I have some screenshots in my Archive and I dont know how to put them up *sigh* tell me if youve seen this violent moive.

Note: This movie is NOT for the faint of heart!

That reminds me, I've gotta borrow it from my bro and watch it some time. ^_^;;

Ahh.. I've read the first volume of the manga. ^_^ It was really good and I'd like to read more of it in addition to seeing the movie. I didn't really understand what I was reading though. *had to read it several times to make any sense of it at all* @_@

Just be careful what you put up. This site is intended for kids to adults. If you put up anything about Tetsuo transforming, you might get in trouble. Granted, explosions don't really count...

 

[Poke]

Heh I really want to put that stuff up too....o well! The manga I have never read because I never knew they had it. I thought all it was was a movie

 

[Cherrim]

Mmm... as long as it's not too gory or anything, you should be fine attaching the images to your posts (on the full reply page). =\ Make sure it's okay for a PG-13 crowd at most, though.

 

[Poke]

Okay if I figure out how to do it I will....I will very soon

 

[Kuharido]

c'mon it wasan't that hard to understand and it wasan't that violent but it was funny when that guys guts fell out I couldn't stop laughing.

 

[Poke]

....uh maybe to you it was easy to understand but to me it was a brain tumor and a half. Yeah.... you dont think its violent *laughs* whatever. My favorite parts the beginning. Man those Motorcycles are COOL!

 

[Ryoutarou]

Meh...it wasn't that great,themoviedidleave outagooddealof what the manga had in it. Though it didn't takeme thatlongto understand it, I did haveproblems withthe Akira/Prodigy thing...that one was hard ^ ^;.

As for violence, the movie was nothing nither was the manga. This stuff was light compared to what went on in Beserk...but the manga had the deeper story and drive out of the two Akira versions I'd say.

I thought it was ok, but ya, pretty hard 2 comprehend.

I saw the movie of it about...6, 7 years ago on tv (Sci-fi Channel was showing it - and I have no idea how much it was edited out for tv. Probably a lot). I thought it was okay, until it got to that one transformation scene. That scene literally gave me the heebie-jeebies for nearly a whole week afterwards - and I never get those over anything. >_< (Yeah, I might have been silly for getting them, but... *shrug*)

And that's why I'm wary of watching the movie again. Any violence wouldn't bother me (much), but that scene, that one scene...ugh. That just creeped me out.

Akira was good and it's animation was awsome. The story just freaky, love the animations about humans next evolutions.

 

[Camp Kill Yourself]

REALLY good movie. Confusing at first, but, really good. I watched it like, three times before I got it, and it`s rare for me to not comprehend something...So, yeah. It`s pretty cool. ^.^
Violence!

 

[Poke]

Uh huh.....I guess I must be dumber than most people.....and was really that much more in the manga? And Beserk? Never heard of that

 

[SS4Gotenks]

I saw that movie called Akira and its was soo boring. Compared to anime these days they don't draw too good. I think the best violent anime movie I saw was called "X" by clamp.

 

[siouxhockeyfan]

i didnt know there was i movie but ive heard the manga is real violent....wasnt it like one of the first mangas ever written or somethin??

 

[Housyasei-san]

My sister borrowed Akira from a friend while in her 'Anime lover' phase a few years ago. I watched it and it was pretty interesting (Tetsou transforming made me nausous though). I liked the music in the movie so I bought the soundtrack a month ago. I want to buy the DVD also...

The movie came out before the manga actually. And this was no where near the first manga ever, this is from the 80's the first manga was like in the 20's or before.
