Hey there~

Hi, new to this community here. Not sure if anyone still goes on here but... wanted to just introduce myself anyway. I just recentely got back into the obsession of Akira, which I first saw when I was eight. It completely changed my life (no joke) and inspired me to become an animator/graphic novelist. Which is my current goal, and what I am majoring in college. I got back into it because in my english class, which is Sci-Fi (i know, awesome right? :D), my awesome really crazy teacher is having us watch Akira and discuss it. I think it is the greatest thing I've ever done in school... ever... I love my teacher and his crazy antics and japanese-obsession.


Favorite Akira character?: Kaneda Kaneda Kanedaaa, love the guy. Also love Kai tho.
Favorite wrinkly kid?: Er, I guess I'd pick Takashi, but I don't really care about them.
Dub or sub?: Well, I group up with the dub, but I love the sub. Can't choose. ><
Have you read the Manga, seen the movie, or both?: Both, just read the manga this weekend. It blew my mind how incredible different they are.
Like any other Anime/Manga?: Oh god too many to list. But to name a few I'd say Kuroshitsuji, Code Geass, Reborn!, D.gray-man, Durarara!!, Hetalia, FMA, .hack//SIGN, Shaman King, Tsubasa, Gintama, Gundam Wing, and many, many more.
  • Current Music
    Akira OST (lol)

High School Musical is Not........

Going to come along and violate my anime in the ass. No.

Zac Efron has been offered the lead in the film. However, it is currently uncertain whether he will be playing Kaneda, whose full name will be Kaneda Shim in the film, or Tetsuo.[26] Morgan Freeman has been offered the role of Colonel Shikishima, also known simply as The Colonel.[27]

Please, just leave it alone. :' [

Why America? Would Otomo really sell the rights for this crap?
APH : Latvia

Sales and Illustrations

Okay, the reason for this post is twofold.

First, I'm selling a few things on my journal including a Kaneda PVC statue, The AKIRA club illustration book and two of the Epic publications release of the manga. For any of you interested the post is over here.

Second, Although I haven't drawn much for AKIRA as of late, I figure I might as well share something old and something I drew recently.

Kaori fanart <3

I made her in Photoshop. :] Don't be shy--post some of your own Akira lovin'. (whispers: "Slash...please.")
I loved the reddish-brown she has in the anime, it's not meant to be blonde,I was playing with color. Yeah..feels unfinished, I think it's missing some Tetsuo-mutated-foreplay. ;)
Oh, Akira ladies = <3

Spoke too Soon....

You know....if they can make this fucking amazing, then please do. Thank God, Otomo will have something to do with it. <3

Menace II Society directors in reported talks over Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga

New York Magazine’s Vulture blog reports that the Hughes brothers — the directors behind Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, From Hell, and The Book of Eli — are negotiating with the Warner Brothers movie studio to direct the planned live-action film adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira manga. ComingSoon.net reported in December that Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, the writers of the first Iron Man film, wrote the most recent script drafts for the two proposed films. According to the Vulture blog, “an official release from the studio is expected later this week” regarding Albert and Allen Hughes’ involvement.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, The Aviator) is producing the planned live-action film adaptation through his Appian Way production company. Mad Chance producer Andrew Lazar (Jonah Hex, Space Cowboys) said at Comic-Con International in August that the live-action project “is a real priority project for Warner Brothers” but is not likely to go into production before the third quarter of 2010 for a 2011 release. Otomo is an executive producer and consultant on the project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety in 2008, Warner and Appian Way will adapt the Akira manga into two live-action films. Each film would cover three volumes of the renowned science-fiction manga about a governmental genetic project and a teenager’s attempt to save a fellow biker gang member. Otomo directed his own animated film adaptation that premiered on July 16, 1988 — the same day that the story has the fictional Tokyo being destroyed.

An update....<3

I can't watch is community die. :( And while I can't promise this is any good, or slash-related, I do bare some gifts.  *3*  I think Akira has so much substance as a story, as a work of art. I felt the whole style and environment gave off a feel that I've felt rarely with other anime. So, please lavish in some Akira-related fanart. <3

Part of me can't be happier that they ceased production of a white-washed Akira live-action, soul-sucking, Hollywood crap-fest, but then, I think, hell, at least it could spark some renewed interest, be it the 12 year old Twilight-esque type of thing. (perhaps?) Oh, and then there's the artist side of me that would want to make my own fucked-up version of a movie, you know, with Asians. <3 But, it'd probably boil down to a horribly-acted, horribly-written smutty slash cluster. Of cosmic-baby proportions.Bad.

It was just wrong for the last post to be at Christmas time. :[  Damn it, grow some freaking fans.

Okay. Art.
