harikoa said: Azelf_br said: I didn't really undestard anything at the end, someone explain tf is akira pls I’ve read the manga and watched the movie after reading and actually didn’t understand how anyone could understand the movie at all. They cut so many main characters and changed the basis of the story. Pretty much Akira in the manga was one of the children that was experimented on but exceeded his peers and became more than a child. In the manga he is seen as this all knowing being in child form with powers so much greater. When Akira awakened he destroyed the whole city to what is known as the neo-tokyo that is seen in the movie. In the manga Akira was locked underground and kept in very cold freezing temperatures so that he could not move or “awaken” again. Although in the movie he isn’t even really mentioned till the end and he isn’t even alive just random dna samples which is weird. Pretty much in the manga Tetsuo is experimented on and becomes similar to Akira and if not stronger, in the end the only one who could destroy someone like Tetsuo was Akira himself. Akira is a key character in the manga, anyway Akira is still has his own conscience and has friends from the testing days and in the end they all die together to neutralise Tetsuo with Akira “awakening” again with a big explosion. pretty much Akira is a main character but the movie doesn’t really mention it but he is the previous Tetsuo, there’s a lot of stuff that the movie doesn’t cover you should read the manga if you wanna see the beauty of Akira (the franchise) If I remember correctly, the movie was produced and released before the ending of the manga. Katsuhiro made a lot of changes to the story’s ending after the movie but I can’t exactly remember any particular reason why. |

| I never liked this movie. Animation was good though. |
| this place is evidence of anime being dead and infiltrated by brainlets with terrible taste |
| Akira is a godlike being born at the birth of the universe itself. what did u not understand about this? |

From what I remember, Akira was the first child with super power and he was heavily experimented on and most likely he was the one who caused the explosion at the beginning of the movie. Later it is revealed that Akira is no longer alive and only his organs have been preserved to study it further. I got to the same interpretation. In the end, Akira/Tetsudo became a part of the universe. Instead of existing in his physical body, he became a part of the universe. I think this movie is highly inspired by 2001: A space of Odessey movie by Stanley Kubrick. At least, the movie game the same vibes. |

I just don't care, I was like fine I guess๐คทโ๏ธ its another trash overrated old anime That response typically comes from people who want a plain and simple plot with a lot of action. If you truly care and want to understand your movie, do your research or just simply read the manga for a further explanation. I bet there are reviews out there that explain the plot/movie in-depth (and in that way you don't need to read the manga). But I can respect people's opinions if they have good arguments to back it up, but to it is an overrated trash movie without doing any further investigation is an ignorant statement! |

mahoukafka said: I don’t expect a lot of people to understand this movie/manga since it seems a lot of newer anime watchers are used to being spoonfed information right off the bat or the information is easily found out through simplistic story telling. Personally, while the manga is absolutely much better, this movie is a phenomenal piece of animation and a very good representation of social issues that arise in common society. That is… sans the psychic children. I am glad there is someone who likes the movie. I agree with your opinion (though I haven't read the manga yet). I felt the story building of the movie is similar to 2001: A space of Odessey where everything is not fed to you. You have to understand the movie by yourself and interpret the movie how you wish. Here, at least, there is a manga for further canon explanation, but with 2001 and Perfect Blue (another anime similar to this one) you have to interpret the ending yourself and come to a logical conclusion. Seems like the majority of users here on this thread like to be fed all the answers, which in my opinion, can be very boring sometimes. |
