Welp it's been fun Toonami-GAF. Gonna drink the last of this beer to this music playing during the credits. See you when I see you!

 

[789shadow]

KANEDA

TETSUO

KIRITO

 

[The Frankman]

i really don't think the ending is a mindfuck at all. it's just kinda shitty writing.

Bingo.

I watched this when I was 9 and I still don't know what the fuck the point of this movie is.

 

[Amikami]

Kanedaaaaa
Tetsuoooo.

You have to count the names in the ending theme Bass.

That was good.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yeah, I can take Tetsuo

 

[Schadenfreude]

Thoughts? Impressions? How'd you like it, Toonami-GAF? Time for Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

 

[commanderpepper]

The soundtrack of this movie is great. Also Tokyo Olympics 2020, get ready?

 

[Raxus]

This movie is an easy A. I would give Summer Wars B or B-.

 

[BassForever]

Nice. Good job, man.

Make sure someone shows this to Man God after all the work I did lol he challenged me to count it

And suddenly Clone Wars comes in to kill all the ratings

 

[foxuzamaki]

Welp, I have new manga to read, thanks thread.

Just tell me, does Kaori get her happy end?

Yeah, I feel the need for closure, it was such a sucky thing to happen

Tetsuo became a god and started another universe. Seriously. That was his Big Bang at the end.

The manga is a freaking epic in manga form. I highly recommend it.

huh, interesting, will get my hands on the manga.

Thoughts? Impressions? How'd you like it, Toonami-GAF? Time for Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

It was great. Confusing, but great

 

[Shard]

Right, so nice of Toonami to air that most important bit of anime history. I am out for the night.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

It's more that they only adapted like a third of the story

yeah, and they weren't able to end it properly so they just rushed this thing in. which, hilariously, a lot of anime has since emulated.

 

[BatDan]

And with the credits out of the way, I'm off to bed. See you in the morning.

 

[bobbychalkers]

To people who watched that for the first time, At one point some Hollywood Studio wanted Zac Efron to play Kaneda and they were aiming for a PG13 rating. Grab your pitchforks and join us!.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I need closure

 

[slightconfuse]

Great stuff, might buy the blu-ray

 

[Baroquemantic]

You'd love the 1995 Ghost In The Shell movie then

Yep, the music in that is very similar. Netflix used to have all the GitS movies on there. That's how I first saw it.

I understand it more now than I did well over a decade ago.

Oh yeah, they were wanting to Americanize it and everything.

What ever happened to that, anyways?

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Its kinda like Citizen Kane, you may not like it but its worth the watch considering how influential it is.

 

[Moaradin]

Movie is still a masterpiece.

Naw fuck that, nuke from orbit.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Read the manga, guys.

It's only six volumes. You can read the whole thing in like a few hours at best.

 

[polyh3dron]

"Hollywood Studio" is Warner Bros which isn't even in Hollywood, it's over the hill in Burbank.

 

[Raxus]

When's Akira 2 coming out?

Spoiler

lol

SAO is Akira 2.

Spoiler

After it ends you want Japan to explode.

 

[BassForever]

Man I already downed one of my soda bottles just during Akira, hope I can make this second one last (20 ounce)

30 minute break time

Dammit I don't have time for facts, I'm pitchforking over here!

 

[Amikami]

I'm surprised so few people had seen Akira. And to thin all the shit I got for not seeing FLCL.
Glad to see you guys enjoyed it, but imagine watching that mind fuck at ages 9-10. Yep, I was one traumatized kid. SO good.

 

[B-Dubs]

yeah, and they weren't able to end it properly so they just rushed this thing in. which, hilariously, a lot of anime has since emulated.

Yea. Part of that is starting an adaptation too early and there's also the bad taste on the part of audiences not allowing proper finales of good shows.

 

[polyh3dron]

Stig!

Srsly.. When I first got into Anime I did like a crash course buying up all the important flicks on DVD like Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, Wings of Honneamise etc etc.

Oh god why.

 

[Mr. Patch]

First time watching Akira. I'm a little confused, but it was still a very good watch.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I had fun, it was really 80s in some parts tho lol

 

[Jintor]

Naw fuck that, SOL from orbit.

Great loss indeed

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Well I'll be heading out.

Good movie. Amazing what they could pull off with 80's technology. Glad I'm old enough to appreciate it.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sleep tight, and don't let the giant stuffed animals bite.


badum..dum...dumdum...

 

[commanderpepper]

I'm really tired so no Star Wars for me, good night.

 

[BassForever]

The fact they show all these Shirley Temple B&W movies colorized is just weak, black and white films aren't meant to be colorized

 

[Baroquemantic]

SAO is Akira 2.

Spoiler

After it ends you want Japan to explode.

SAO is the prequel to Akira. Those helmets they were wearing in the flashback were prototype Nervgear.

 

[redmetal86]

Akira didn't think to take Shirley with him.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

oh hey, another music video?

 

[slightconfuse]

The moive for those wondr is only the first 2 volumes of the managa roughfly.

there are 6 in total

 

[Amikami]

https://twitter.com/SirBrickness/status/409590231298351104

Great loss indeed

lol.

 

[Seda]

One last music video it seems?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Oh wait another music video???

I'll stay up for another few minutes!

 

[BassForever]

I'm surprised in 25 years no ones attempted to make a Akira 2 or reboot OVA to cover the whole story, I guess the film is just a classic no one wants to touch
