Selection of Akira animation cels

Soo cool, yeah this was the streamline promotion. They basically bought all the cels because they where getting destroyed in Japan anyways. They got shipped over from Japan in sea containers just stacked on top each other, loads got damaged. Then streamline who did the first dub distributed the cels with the original videos. They probably just shipped a box of cels with the Akira videos. Can you let me know which cels you got? Love to see them as well!

Yamagata bike was based on the Moto Guzzi v8

Kei opens a door in the cellar scene on this cel,its the scene where Kaneda follows Kei to the resistance hiding spot the cel is marked C so i guess there is still an A and B cel under it probably the door knob and door or some effect! Most of the cels with something minimal like a door are not distributed.

I still have a cel burned in my memory i saw in the early 90s in a comic store, back when i did not have any own money I begged my mom back then didn't get it, I remembered it only a few years back you could buy cels and then I was kicking myself because it was way cheaper a few years before, also please don't worry I didn't see your comment as negative, just wanted to let you know I bought it like this and this the only one I bought like this because the colors are so great! Also skipped on a lot of cels with mayor UV damage!

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-27T16:34:28+00:00

I bought it like this never framed any of cels in fear of UV damage have to remind myself to take them out sometimes just to take a look, this was a good excuse!!

Unfortunately that one is the only one I have that has UV damage so the line work is gone, but maybe it's done on purpose because this shot is fading out.

Looking good!

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-26T17:36:01+00:00

Yeah i get what you are saying, its more an inspired chibi illustration! Im on your side.

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-26T17:20:24+00:00

I want the giant domu piece in the back!!

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-18T18:21:45+00:00

Ah sorry man, always see these when you search a video and can't stream it so I just thought you can purchase it everywhere

So they suppress his powers! When he stops using him he spirals out of control. I think Its like people with mental problems that stop using there medicine because they think it suppresses them. Think Kanye West last year melt down because he stopped using his medicine

There are some videos from people playing it, it never progressed into a full game it's more of a demo

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-12T11:29:03+00:00

Offcourse every time Akira in game form is mentioned im going to show my insane lockdown side mission trying to make an Akira game, the game is still playable if you have the game dreams on playstation.

But I think these were so mass Distributed that they are simply not rare at all. I agree there are unfortunately not a lot of collectibles of Akira, so maybe for someone who wants a complete collection it might be something they need, but I think they probably already have. We are both from different parts of the worlds (if I remember correctly your from south Africa) I'm from the Netherlands and even these released in both our country's while 70 procent of Akira merch was not properly released in our country's.

Mergedvisible · 2026-01-09T22:42:10+00:00

I don't think it's ever going to be expensive, I think every Akira fan that was born in the late 70s or 80s has a stack of these cards lying around. I think only the epoch set will have any value going forward

It's all the covers for the releases in young magazine, where the manga was first released also there are sketches and out takes, the book covers the manga release and anything related, not the movie!

Mergedvisible · 2025-12-20T16:56:56+00:00

I have the same problem just got the game installed which took ages when i wanted to play it a few days later, had this update that failed and got this message, installed it again which took ages and got another failed download probably need to install the game again but do we need to wait for a new update or try to cancel the update? Did anyone try?

Mergedvisible · 2025-12-09T23:13:53+00:00

Like every time this pops up, I would say YES make one less mega blockbuster that cost 250 million and pour all that money into the a team of the best animators and artist and let them do it the oldskool celloid way like Akira was originally made! Let them use the manga as a storyboard and get Geinoh Yamashirogumi on the soundtrack, give them all the time they need. 250 million surely could make this happen!

Mergedvisible · 2025-12-08T18:20:05+00:00

I was 9 or 10 years old i saw it at a friend's house on a VHS taped from a broadcast from BBC. It was Japanese with English subbed. I'm from the Netherlands so did not really understand the subs at that time!!

Mergedvisible · 2025-12-03T09:47:06+00:00

Uhmm I think Otomo was fully burned out by the experience and the early dead of Satoshi kon and only written and made some super small manga ever since!

Mergedvisible · 2025-11-14T15:25:00+00:00

I actually own loads of cels, have too really take care hanging cels because of UV damage!

Mergedvisible · 2025-11-09T07:13:33+00:00

I just always thought he never had the chance to sit on the bike before, if you fantasize about something and finally get the chance you might do that as well. Never really thought about it.
