What is Akira even about?

Goofy butt plot

The movie plot is a little goofy and rushed because it was forced to cut a shitload of content from the manga in order to avoid it becoming too long and expensive, and even back then, it was already the most expensive Japanese animated film of all time (maybe it still is to this day I think), even with Otomo cutting out so many plot points from the manga, the film was still supposed to be a kino over 4 hours long I think, but even with cut content it was still too long, so they were forced to cut even more content from the cut content :marseyxd:, inevitably resulting in a film that although being an animated masterpiece, ended up being a rushed story.

As an example, you see that clown guy in the beginning that appears for like only 1 minute and then completely disappears from the film? well he is an important character in the manga, and also that cult lady that appears for like 1 minute as well? she is featured a lot in the manga too.

In 2017, Otomo said that he was going to do an Akira anime series that would be more faithful to the manga and would be able to tell the story in full, it was supposed to be animated by the same studio behind Code Geass, but sadly nothing ever came out of it, presumably due to COVID-19 fricking everything up.

Move this to /h/kino so I don't feel ashamed to comment on this hole.

Anyways what exactly is confusing about Akira? The plot itself is pretty straightforward.

It's about the consequences of HRT on the young mind. Although if you're serious, I'll actually respond in earnest.

They're essentially just government experiments, a continuation of the same experiments that created Akira and destroyed the original Tokyo.

lmfao you're a funny one. Not sure if I should ban you or just keep you here for the amusement.

There's a certain hierarchy here, as my admin badge should have keyed you in on, and you went and mocked me. Do you know how much power I have? I'm not just the admin of a group with over 50k members, I've got a network of admins that are loyal to me alone and their power spans all of Leftbook. I'm the veritable champion online, and if you don't do what I say... why don't you message some group members and find out? :wink:

The only reason you're not banned yet is that I wanted to give you some time to read this first... to know how deep the shit you're in is.

Don't mock my community. Don't mock Harry Potter fans or those winning with Autism. You want another chance? Say you understand and you apologize, and say you realize you've been a stupid frick in a beautiful place.
