This movie gave me nightmares as a child ....... :l

I made a petition for the Akira anime to be adapted into a live-action film (by the right directors ofcourse) www.change.org/p/katsuhiro-otomo-bring-the-akira-anime-to-life?recruiter=906547840&recruited_by_id=902ebb30-d356-11e8-8868-f5839a95d1c5&

I remember watching this movie when I was like 6 with my grandma and thinking that it was sick

10/5 because I love this movie!!!

*the Fisher Price "My First Anime"!!

I remember this as my first anime I ever saw (discounting stuff like battle of the planets or speed racer) around 1990. The visuals and soundtrack were just amazing although some of the finer points were lost initially. I wore out that original VHS tape and rewatched it at a friends house much later on, but they redubbed it with different voice actors that did a far worse job than the original crew (the snippets I heard on this were the redub). Finally, around late college and the advent of multilingual DVDs I watched it with the original Japanese, which tends to make more sense storywise but you miss out on a lot of beauty of the production.

Perfect Blue is a good one to watch

So I saw this movie in the 90s when I was little on The Summer of SciFi. This movie and LILY Cat fucked my young self up.

Damn after watching this movie for some reason I am just now realizing that all of the characters have a massive 5 head.

fine bros

THE ENDING FUCKED UP MY BRAIN

Akira was one of if not, the first anime I saw as a child.... Which I found absolutely terrifying....... And I honestly was scared of it.

Fun fact about Akria,the film nearly prodeted the Japanese Summer Olympics in 2019, not 2020. One more year this have done they could've prodeted this film.

You have been watching the 2001 edition with the voices of Taj from Digimon and Ichiro from Blech. If you watch the 1989 version, you get Larry from Leisure Suit Larry and Leonardo from TMNT.

=YEAH,THANKS TO AKIRA,HEHE .........AND ALSO THANKS TO THIS,THE ELFEN LIED AND DRAGON BALL Z APPEARED.......................BUT!....THE STEPHEN KING'S "SHINING" IS HERE....

my mom's friend has that movie and recently gave it to me so FIRST I#m going to watch that movie and then your video

The animation in this movie is one of the influences on my scifi illustration style.

I saw that movie when i was 5

Buddy you have no Idea. As I Child I watched not only Akira, Princess Mononoka as well as South Park, and it's Movie. lmao At first it was A Error on my parents part not knowing the Media was so Mature, then before you knew it My Brother and I were watching Mature animations. You should really Review Season three of Digimon, I'm not sure if you are all into Digimon, but this Season goes harder then any other before or after it.

5:53 Tradition, *shows a riot*

My fiancee wanted to see this because she thought it was about motorcycle gangs... She was shocked to find out it wasnt XD

I'm sorry but I didn't liked akira.

8:39 that describes these last three months. Just replace the police with “peaceful protesters” and we’re all set

Please do perfect blue please

Explain close friends....whole movie Testue was acting like a bitch

Who else just watched Akira?? Like two days ago

You should review Higurashi When They Cry

Anyone knows the name of the music in the intro ?

Do Wizards next!

Someone please tell me what the hell is that music in the beginning.

why this anime in english is soooooo weird ?

I've seen this when I was 6 and it terrified me

Akira was aged so well that quality top tear animation. 2hr and i didn't notice it xD.

They should have done a series !!,

I saw it as a 9 year old when my uncle bought it for me

That guy in the Brown coat and Orange tie is me brushing my teeth after drinking red koolaid 2:42

You gotta watch Jin Roh :wolf brigade now

I watched this movie three times, and am considering watching it again. The body horror makes my stomache turn in ways no other gore ever has, never been sure why. Watched it as a kid, and thought I knew what it was about. Watched it as a teen, and had a different opinion watched it a third time as an adult, and oh ... my... god... this is an amazing story.

deestroying

I watched this as a kid cause it was on Toonami

holy crap watch nge then end of evangelion

Why the Japanese people make movies like this? It's fine to make dark and violent movies, but what they do are way too detailed in graphic violence and darkness (and similar stuff to it).

If cyberpunk 2077 is in Japan

I personaly really liked this movie its so good.

2:22 I am getting evangelion vibes in here.

The 80s Dub is a treasure to behold.

7:47 Soooooo... America in 2020

It was on adult swim when I was little I saw only the transformation part. I was fascinated right away

Tbh I was scared of rat man when I frist watch it

That song at the start what is that?

One movie I would like to see you cover would An American Tail. You've covered a lot of Don Bluth movies, but not this one. A really good film, though quite dark and really depressing at times.

🤣

The opening to this video just sends chills down my spine

origami

I remember watching this when I was 8 and not being ready for the following nightmares.

Stop stop being horney

found this in a closet in the hall the other month and well ive seen it before buuuut youcan bet your ass i sat down and watched it again... will forever be one of the absolute greatest. you can see the inspiration in so many anime to follow. It set a huge president. EDIT: and definitely to your point a movie you should watch more than once and it will come together better and god damn how could you not want to see this masterpiece twice? you could watch it with the sound off lol

I was 21 when i watched Akira. It was weird. Now i`m 38 and , well, it could be worse :)

justameerah

My man has a nuclear warhead for a forehead

I don't know, but when I first watched this, I didn't feel that it's too long and slow-paced. I was hoping for more scenes to come. With "Ghost in the Shell," I slept towards the half of the film. I still haven't continued watching "GiTS."

So Japan got nuked a 3rd time? Well, 3rd time’s the charm

I have only heard about it but never seen it

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM

Why does thumbnail guy look like Vegeta?

yo great content but maybe pay literally anyone else to read your scripts i fucking can’t stand video diary speak lmaoooooo

Fun fact: it was released in Canada 26 years after it was made

12:23 The difference is obvious, what are you blind? Clearly the colonels mustache is superior to who ever the other guy is. hehe

8:30 He wasn't just randomly drawn to look like a rat. Every single major city in America is run by the same looking rats. Every single one. Every mayor of every major city in America are rats working for parasites masquerading as human headquartered in London, Vatican, and Is-not-real.

Please do jin-roh it’s so slept on

You should watch blood + and blood c haha

Movie was so long 😂😂 A little too much sci-fi for my taste, but a decent watch. Sorry y'all

Kaori didnt deserve this, not like this man.

And if you guys watched AKIRA 30 times you will understand that at the end where it shows the world being made and a word ‘I am Tetseo’ then you will know it meant that Akira and those 3 kids and Tetseo made a new world or a new Dimension

He is the CEO of big forehead

Nothing that happens in the movie happens in the manga. The characters and basic idea of plot are the only similar things. Nonetheless Akira is my favourite movie and my favourite read beside 1984.

Akira was the first anime movie I ever watched, I watched it when I was in elementary school and I loved it. Like it really only took one watch of it and it became my ultimate favorite movie of all time. Like its so memorable, I haven't watched it since I was in 6th grade and I still remember everything about it, it's so good.

I got scared from the end scene as a child

Yay he referenced Gundam But not the good Gundam only the okay one lol

I don't remember alot of this Akira but I remember my mom walking in on me and my dad watching this when I was 5 let's just say that i took a early nap, I woke up to my mom yelling at my dad and my dog barking😅 not the best thing to wake up to.

You really missed out on mentioning the conspiracy theories surrounding Akira that are being associated with many things that are happening in 2020. Such as the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics where the ending of the movie takes place.

Imagine him reviewing End of Evangelion

Having a complex plot doesn’t make it mature steve

I recently watched this movie

I saw this as a child too, I only remembered Tetsuo transforming & a girl exploding under pressure

Steve:"Just sit,and take ever-" *Reese's Ad*

What dub is this? I've never heard it.

AK-IRA!? what's next, M4-ISIS!?

The way Steve sounds when he talked about this film, it's like he wasn't afraid of reviewing it or thought it was terrifying. He sounded like he had a good time watching it and talking about the film. It's really refreshing to hear him talk about a movie he likes after watching the Padak and Felidae reviews

Thank you

drunkhistory

Omg I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that Tetsuo looks similar to Vegeta

Heavy metal review?

Seeing him doing anime make me want him to talk about Neon Genesis Evangelion

Akira is a technical tour de force, and kind of an average movie. Having to cram 6 volumes, that actually are more like 12 since they are massive, didn't do the plot any favors.

Akira But in the fighting game world.... K9999 OwO In all seriousness, K9999 is the reason I found out about Akira after I looked into why they made K9999. I knew he looked familiar

subs > dubs

Anime series got announced by Otomo himself. It will be produced by Sunrise Studio. But since Covid-19 is in the way, I hope that those series are not cancelled.

Please review perfect blue
