The first time I saw Akira at the cinema (around 2001, after seeing it on tape a hundred times), I spotted things I never noticed before, particularly in the scene where Kaneda first notices Kei - when they make eye contact you can see her blue eyeliner, which I never noticed on my low quality VHS, but it makes his moment of recognition click in a way it never did before.
If live action remake happens I'm going opening night to point and laugh, and I am curious how bad they can fuck up Kaneda's powerbike cause you know they will.
well, you shouldn't forget that budget of this anime was skyhigh for whole anime industry of its time. And besides it failed on theatres ))) But sure it is something special and outstanding I'd also advice you to watch Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa (Royal Space Force). Its detalisation is also superhigh and eyecandy!
I'm still amazed by this music 10 years later. The soundtrack to Tron Legacy is a billion times better than it has any right to be and humanity is better off because of it. Lord Akira's blessings on Daft Punk
fun fact. in the background of Akira is 2020 Olympic games posters in Japan with wording CANCELLED DUE TO VIRUS OUTBREAK. Now where is Olympics This year and whats going on? hmmmmmm
No, it's not. The Olympics are background to the political unrest, and the graffiti under the billboard say "Just cancel it". There is no viral outbreak in Akira. The potential cancelling of the 2020 Olympics is from political unrest in Neo Tokyo. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/13/viral-image/japanese-film-akira-did-not-predict-coronavirus-ou/
@@returnedtomonkey8886 that s what happen when you try to compress 14 volume of a manga (6 in the black and white japanese version ) in 126mn,but it s awesome ,beautiful and will forever stay the best anime movie ever made !
@@calgar42k Akira film it is based on the main concept of Otomo, it is not based on the manga. I mean you are confusing two different arts: Animation (Cinema) and Manga. And this is bad. So you can't compare two different arts. If you want to know my PERSONAL opinion, I think that Akira film is one of the best if not the best animation in History. Manga has other beautiful things, but you can't compare the two, they are two different masterpieces. Otomo didn't compress anything, making the film longer consists in creating a TV Serie and not a Film.
@@robb6560 i dont know what s the funniest you trying to school me on Akira , you trying to be a smart ass making stuff up , or you trying to convey your personnal opinion that utterly nobody cares about !
Hey all, just wanted to say thank you soo damn much for all the love you guys have shown here, really means a lot to this nerd who made this out of a love for the anime Akira and Daft Punk. I'm so thankful for all the comments that I think I'll have to re-edit with a higher quality version so we can really appreciate the artistry so many put into this film. So keep your eyes out and THANK YOU AGAIN!
That opening is godlike dude. Also it's amazing how good this video looks for being posted 10 years ago. Other than the bit with the helicopter explosion, everything looks so crisp and clean.
Great googly moogly! this is the amv that sets the bar! Akira is a masterpiece on its own but this mashup just blows my freakin´mind! those first 80 seconds is just pure freakin perfection! So beautiful I can die happy!
Kanye West and Daft Punk made the music Stronger ,in which Kanye West re-enacts scenes from Akira. Daft Punk is so good for something dystopian and cyberpunk like Akira
Dude! "Hope you like it" you say. This was fantastic. You merged two of my favorite things so well. Beautifully edited. The climax when the stadium showdown scene comes... wow. Just wow.
wow it's truly great ! you really did a good job ! i love how the beats are in sync with the explosions/actions and how you changed the frames with the beat! truly mezmerising !!
This is honestly dope as fuck. If they ever made an Akira movie they should A. Hit you up to make the trailer (and) B. Get Daft Punk and Lazerhawk to make a doooooppppeee track.
The edit is impressive and on point, hearing about the news of Daft Punk made me go on a nostalgia run, ran into this video and I'm impressed w/the work.
As you realize, Akira said that Tokyo Olympic would be held in 2020 when it was published in 1988. Also, graffiti on the wall said Olympic should be canceled. Moreover, in the newspaper in Akira, it was said WHO accused the government of its management of the spread of virus.
Really nice job. Some great edits in the first, third, and fourth quarter. I will say that the second quarter seemed to lose a lot of the creative editing that the others showed and, with the song having such heavy beats, missed a lot of opportunity for good cuts. Great job overall, though! Really felt this one in my bones.
I like it!!! Did you do the edit? If yes, it's pretty well done. I like that you've started with the end and the rhythm of the song give me the impression of an ultimate race to finish. On a side note, when Kaneda receives the last light of his friend Tetsuo at the end, you should have wait until you see Kaneda all ulluminated. Great AMV, thanks.
I just watched the whole movie yesterday after edging on the opening scene for years. And I gotta say, it was everything I expected it to be judging from the articles I've read about it. I'm no film connoisseur by any means, nor do I watch enough anime for my opinions to be deemed valid, but the pacing was admittedly a bit all over the place. Aesthetically speaking though, this gem from 1988 is still a fucking treat to the eyes. Granted the artstyle ain't for everyone, especially to anyone who actively avoid anime made before 2000 and heavily prefer the ones made during the 2010s. To me however, Otomo's artsyle ain't like anything else I've seen before, and I fucking love it. Everything, from the backgrounds, to the characters and vehicles moving on-screen, have this certain level of detail and grit to them. While that did drive a good portion of the studios that worked on the film to bankruptcy, I'd say it was well worth it in the coming years. I think modern anime fans should atleast try watching it just for the amount of hard work put into bringing Katsuhiro's, well atleast some of the important parts of his vision to the big screen. It's just that good.
I wondered about that one to because I love that Daft Punk was part of that and Akira inspired that video... If I get some time to I will totally try to get that done! Thanks for the comment dude! :)
Two thoughts: I need to watch Akira again.
And, I hope that American live-action remake never happens.
It’ll happen. The only reason it hasn’t happen yet is because of technology.
it will just ruin the memories.
they did the 4k thing which was really nice

Why am I just seeing this now? It’s amazing.
Same
Right!!!
Literally my exact thought hearing this lol
Why am i sewing this now +1
It's awesome
The level of details on a 30 years old animation is incredible
There's a reason why Akira is one of the most celebrated films of all time
can you say the name of the anime?
@@anyelacifuentes9422 It’s called Akira, well worth checking out.
The artist spent 9 years developing it :p
well, you shouldn't forget that budget of this anime was skyhigh for whole anime industry of its time. And besides it failed on theatres ))) But sure it is something special and outstanding

It's so crazy to think 2011 was nine years ago
Bro now I feel old ☀️
The pain never goes. Espcially with a lack of achivements in life.
Twelve in less
Almost 10
The movie "AKIRA" was released in 1988

Yeaah buddyyyyy
I watched tron legacy for the first time last week. The movie was ok but the sound track was fantastic
Didn't even realize that Tron Legacy was 10 years old! I feel old now... XD

Akira with daft punk

i see youve watched ajin as well😪

Akira's Soundtrack sounds like a Japanese Traditional but with this, it sounds like Western's Cyberpunk.
It was Indonesian music technically but oh well
@@aadithyanarayanan2978Sorry, didnt know that but anyways it totally packs a punch along with this classic animation.
@@aadithyanarayanan2978 indonesian?
Soundtrack was made before the animation. It’s actually Hungarian but with Japanese vocalists.
@@mastergmoore no you are wrong
Akira isn’t just a movie it’s a work of art

Thanks guys, I love the movie and I love Daft Punk so I figured give a try at combining the 2 as best as I could...
You nailed it
It's crazy good compared to today's montages, image this in 2011!
You did good, I will download this to have it forever
AKIRA and Daft Punk..... both LEGENDARY.
Rip daft punk, it's been a great 28 years
Bro, wanna watch Akira?
Sure, but I only got 4 minutes.
no problem:
Farewell legends. Your music inspired so many subgenres out there and Daft Punk's influence will live on forever.
Akira + Daft Punk = The rise of Future Funk!
so old but stil good, the hard work and craftmanship it tooke to make this anime wil never repeated again.

THE EDITING ON THIS I SOOOO GOOD. Timed perfectly to the music and told the story. AMAZING JOB!!
The song derezzed comes from Tron:Legacy
They have light bikes, but the story isn't about that.
Just like Akira.
How fitting

So you got recommended this too, cool.
This is one of the videos that inspired me to become an editor myself. Thank you for this.
Sweet dude, send me a link when you post some of your work.

Thank you dude! Yeah I think Akira should be left alone unless they're going to do it right...
I agree, I kind of sighed when I heard WB wanted to make a live action... this was done right the first time around.
Well... I've got news.
Imagine if daft punk does the soundtrack for the Akira live action, that'll be sick
pls no more live actions, have some respect for animation

Thank you!
I love akiras animation style sm!
Same for K9999🐸
Aw man, this was rad to watch. I'm happy I finally got to see it lol.

And now one of my favorite AMVs.
Props, man
Thanks dude! I always appreciate that people dig it

I dead thought akira was bout to fight daft punk, still beautiful video

Outside of some one-off Cuphead-esque throwback in the distant future, we will never see animation like Akira's again.
