The original dub was pretty good, especially by the standards of the 80s. The newer dub done for the 20th aniversary or whatever is excellent! I'd say its the best way to watch this for the first time so you can take in all the visuals.
Yeah, this movie not only brought the genre of animation to the West, but spawned a lot of tropes both in the East and the West. A powerhouse of a film.
So, what happened in the end was essentially Tetsuo's power was multiplying at an exponential rate, obviously. Akira, the first person to achieve this sort of unlocked power, left this reality (in spirit) or else he would have destroyed it, much more so than just blowing Tokyo up. He essentially becomes a god. The three kids, who never achieved that power because of one reason or another (I'm sure the experiments and drugs had something to do with it) pooled their abilities in the end and called out to Akira. So Akira, hearing them, came back and took Tetsuo away, essentially taking him somewhere where his power could grow and expand without fear of destroying. Basically, kick-starting another universe.
Or something like that.
Excellent watch and react! I wish I could forget this movie and see it for the first time again, I can't remember anything from my initial impression other than, "WOW, I need to rewatch this."
As you surmised, this was a very influential movie... back in the 1990s the SciFi channel had a Saturday anime block, I stumbled across this movie one of those days when I was 14 and was blown away. I'm horrible at drawing, so to understand that a team of people could create "moving" drawings has always been fascinating to me, but this was completely different... mature with concepts and theming I hadn't seen yet, I was amazed that there was animation of this quality and style out there. It sparked my curiosity about Japan and with the newly available internet I came to know what anime was, now thirty years later I'm still a fan and it's amazing to see how anime in general has grown in global recognition. Akira and other anime of the time inspired a new generation of creatives and now there are exponential choices for animated series compared to thirty years ago, it's great to see many people now understand that drawings aren't automatically for kids.
A few facts:
1) The date of the initial explosion to kick off the story was changed from the manga source material, instead using the movie's release date of July 16th, 1988. Would've been fun to see this in theaters the day it came out. ;)
2) Back in 2013 it was announced that Tokyo would be hosting the 2020 Olympics, and fans of Akira flipped out as if the movie had predicted the future all along. But sadly we were all affected by Covid-19, and the Olympics that year were postponed, so any similarities people were looking for ultimately faded away.
yooo thats a really cool fact about the olympics!
Yeah, this anime. This is something... much deeper then just bike gangs. And it is glorious, it was EXPENSIVE to make and so worth it. And yeah this kicked Anime into the west. Like a big mushroom cloud.
I suggest Ghost in the Shell. Also a lovely DEEP anime!
I have a replica jacket I got off the internet in December.
I first saw this sometime around 1990 at the cinema. I was 9 or 10. I was very lucky. It was animated so my parents let me see it not expecting any of it. It definitely changed my life.
wait ima need a jacket like that....
@Rakhim99 mostly cheap rubber but was available on Amazon.
Fun reaction
"This has GOT to be a trap."
"Then go back."
"No. I just have to find how MUCH of it is a trap."
Fun Fact: The film is widely credited with breaking anime into mainstream Western audiences.
Technical Breakthrough Fact: What would later be known as CGI was used in the film, primarily to animate the pattern indicator used by Doctor Onishi, but it was additionally used to plot the paths of falling objects, model parallax effects on backgrounds, and tweak lighting and lens flares.
Before Frame One Fact: This was one of the first Japanese anime films to have the characters' voices recorded before they were animated. While this is the typical practice in U.S. animation, in Japan the animation is generally produced first. The music for the film was also completed before any of the composers saw a frame of film or read the script. The music did have to be edited to fit some scenes though.
Always with the great facts
My pleasure. I rarely do anything for foreign language movies, but this is a rare exception.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
amazing movie, the body horror in the tetsuo bit is some of the best i’ve ever seen
So disturbing but cool
The original, late 80s English dub is my favorite… they capture a vernacular which makes it extremely cool….
Great reaction….
At least we got the self-lacing sneakers!
Ive never seen this. Gonna have to give it a watch.
Oh Brother!!! Never watch a reaction to a movie you've never seen before...Tons of spoilers, and in the case of a movie like Akira it ruins 80% of your fun and 100% of the surprise and excitement of seeing the scenes for the first time
I have heard some bad dubs as well, but I have mild dyslexia and that for me interferes with subs. I might as well watch it with all speech muted. The voice acting is negated because I’m reading it and the speech just becomes noise. I’m paying more attention to the text that what is happening on screen. It’s the same reason I despise QTE’s in games. I’m focused on the prompts and not the awesome animated sequences that cost a million bucks to make.
You are speaking just facts
