FFXIV All Stars Idea!!

Voice acting doesn't matter to me.

If anything I would like the English version more because the friend of Akira, is the voice actor of Vash the Stampede, Ichigo, Nero from DMC4.

Yeah, Akira definitely had a couple creepy scenes.

By the way... ugh I don't want to... but here, this is why I am ashamed to show this...

One of my original drawings of my Character: Ryajin Geki:

Here is a more updated version of him: I have to update him again, because Scarfs have become over used.

Akira sucked. Those three old kids pissed me off. I swear, to me it looks like they have the troll face.

Akira:

Akira was the first anime to feature lip sync movement. Most anime will not have a character talking whilst their head is moving due to how difficult it is to sychronise their head movement with their mouth movement, it requires the artists to draw a lot more frames of animation which increases production time and cost. Since Akira was made in the 80's, at the time, it was revolutionary.

The Akira movie was based on a manga of the same name, which was and stil is one of the longest mangas in history, it was 2182 pages long and had an enormous story to it. The movie really doesn't do it justice in just 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Akira was one of the first anime movies to be shown on English speaking cinema, being shown on screens across America and other countries. It was a global box office success making millions and helped promote anime to countries across the world. Without Akira, we probably wouldn't have access to the anime material we do now, and shows like Naruto, Bleach and others would not be on our T.Vs.

So, fair enough you may not like Akira, everyone is different with their preferences, but one thing I would ask is that you at least appreciate it for what it is, one of the greatest animes of all time.

Have you read the original comic? I'll have to pick up a copy for myself sometime.

Also, first anime I ever saw was New Dominion Tank Police when I was but a wie nipper. It instantly caught my attention because I was skimming channels and caught it mid-episode, since I was addicted to cartoons and I was very young I became very interested in it the moment Bonaparte tumbled down the elevator shaft whilst Leona and Al screamed "OH SHIIIIIIT!". Before that point I had never imagined a cartoon could contain swear words, thus, I was very interested to see more (b'.')b

The next time I encountered it was when I went to my nans, and my uncle, who hadn't moved out yet, was watching Hellsing on his T.V. (I discovered it was Hellsing maaaaaany years later when watching it myself, my memory is that vivid sometimes I can remember something like that :P) I didn't get to see much of it because he turned it off a few mionutes later so I could play Sonic 1 on his mega drive.

The next encounter with it was again still when I was quite young, me and my dad had stopped up late to watch The Great Escape, and after iot went off he started flicking through channels. when he switched to channel 4 there was an anime on that showed a naked girl with pink hair that was stuck to some pinkish slimy wall. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a hentai though. My dad switched channels almost instantly so I didn't see enough to be able to identify what it could have been as I haven't seen any anime with that scene since.

Since then I was always wondering where I could find shops that sold anime, but had to resort to playing anime games instead. Eventually when I found forbidden planet, a shop commonly found in most U.K towns and cities, my anime interest really started to kick in, since then it has simply escalated to a full-blown obsession, which is where I am today.
