One of the few anime things I've really loved. Can't wait to watch this.

@DnA - I'd recommend the Satoshi Kon films and the Studio Ghibli films for you if you wan't to watch some quality Japanese animations. From someone who can't watch an anime to save his life (outside of Cowboy Bebop) i can tell you they're the best things i've ever watched as far as cinema goes, and i'm serious.



Especially Paprika, don't miss Paprika.

so both an american adaptation AND a series more faithful to the manga at the same time? interesting, there seems to be a sudden re-interest in Akira. but why now.

anyway, Sunrise (aka, the Gundam people) producing the series is a good thing, their series look astonishing.

I thought that it might be a Netflix production because they are handling some exclusive anime productions as of late, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Interesting nonetheless.

@NinnesMBC - Netflix's model of "waiting till it airs completely in Japan and drop it maybe 6 to 8 months later in our platform" kinda kills some of their better exclusives like Seven Deadly Sins because people just won't wait, not when there are really good (and fast) fan-subbers out there. most people finish Netflix's exclusive anime shows before they're even on their service.

Adapt every bit of the manga, it would have quite a few seasons. It would be more epic than the classic movie.

"As great as the '88 movie was, it'll be nice to see a more faithful adaptation of Otomo's comic series."

It's interesting reminding everyone (you probably know this already) that when the film was made he hadn't finished the manga yet, and that's why they're different. Both genius finales in their own ways, though.

Anyway, maybe my favorite manga/comic of all time.

Hmm surprised this wasn't done sooner to be honest, cant wait to see this! Hope it retains everything from the Original Manga.

Great! I've heard this as a rumor for a while now. Glad it's finally happening. The manga is one of the best out there. I definatly give it a recommendation. Love the film but I'm more excited for this then the live action movie.
