Akira have you read the original Akira books? if so what do
you think of the film adaptation?

I'll pretend to be Akira:

"Yes, I've read the original Akira books. The film
adaptation is awesome!"

I hope I passed.

From what I know, the anime ends at volume 2 of the mangas,
and there are 6. I've been told Tetsuo comes back as some
kind of narcissistic demigod. Haven't read them yet. The
anime was perfect.

hey akira, what did you think of the drastic cutting of the
story. of course it was necessary (a 2000 page 6 book epic
into one film?!) but did you feel it got the main points and
themes across? for me the books themes are focusing around
the corruption of those in power while the film focuses more
on evolution and revolution, be it in a technological or
social sense. im pleased though because they both excellent
stand-alone pieces.

I love Akira. I am the only one here who finds Tetsuo kind
of sexy? I wish he didn't turn into that giant lump of
repulsive muscular flesh at the end; his old skinny ripped
body must would have been more pleasant to see.
