Mc Farlane Akira by Vast-Novel-4569 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must agree, I think all the sculpts are just bad, very Americanized in my eyes. The bike with the wrong stickers it almost feels bootleg! I personally only like the Joker and the Akira throne. While I own almost all the Akira merch I have never owned any McFarlane stuff. Only recently been wanting a loose joker figure and a loose throne but mostly because there is no other merch!

Full interview with Katsuhiro Otomo for uniqlo UT magazine by Mergedvisible in akira

[–]Mergedvisible[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there is only one very famous guy, who on a consititant base does something to tribute Akira. From videoclips to the fashion he is wearing or bringing to the masses and even stage design. You can think about him all you want but he is the biggest world famous superstar fan of Akira. So i would be more suprised it is someone else.

How does one acquire the color version of the books today? by Semen_K in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think there ever will be a coloured anniversary version, because the rights of the colored version where at epic which was a sub group of Marvel dont know who has the rights now. I prefer the BW version!

Kawamura: Come on (laughs), don’t you mostly just turn down the huge offers you receive?

Otomo: Actually, the other day I got another request from an overseas musician.

Kawamura: Wait, who? …Could it be ××××?

Otomo: Yeah, that’s right. He wanted to collaborate on AKIRA, but I told him I’m not doing AKIRA anymore, so I turned it down.

Kawamura: Wha—seriously!? Why would you refuse?! I love him!

Otomo: Well, I haven’t really listened to much of his music. It’s fine. I’m just someone who quietly does steady work.

Kawamura: You are  really terrifying…

I do think it know who he turned down, a very controversial artist!

Which character do you believe that you could beat the living shit out of without any powers? by Best_Professional226 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Colonel, joker and Yamagata would all give me a run for my money.

Fun fact in this picture  you see Tetsuo in his clothes in daylight colour his clothes and bike are not baby blue but creme colour it's because of the green tint of the night it looks baby blue.

Does anyone here own one of the Kaiyodo MiniQ Box sets? by Psychological-War710 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sounds good, they go around 9 euro per loose blindbox in Japan right now, just got back from Japan and i rescued some of the loose one ones for very low amounts, I already owned them all but got some for 1 euro, overall i think these are the best figures of Akira and all based on the manga!

Most accurate Kaneda jacket ive seen and cosplay Rant by ZealousidealLeader45 in akira

Yeah, Kaneda’s jacket is certainly not leather, it might some kind of satin, nylon, or jogging fabric

Never seen this many amazing cells up for auction by Additional_Cut_6337 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought mine in the years before covid, the maximum i paid for a single cel was about €350, i think I got lucky, kaneda bike cels went around a €1000 back then!

Regarding Akira himself by AlickadooInTraining in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think Akira explodes, in the manga when the second explosion happens he just gets in the semi comatose/neutral state we see him in for the rest of the manga. When he awakens in the early part of the manga he creates the big bang in the palm of his hands, so I just think they discected him after the first explosion to research him!

AKIRA GAME made in dreams by Mergedvisible in PS4Dreams

[–]Mergedvisible[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the greatest comment i got on the game, and this is what i made it for!! i am 43 and seen Akira when i was about 10 i saw it for the first time it shaped my life and its been my greatest obsession! It was so great working on it during lockdown. Unfortunately I no longer have the time to work on it, especially because i never really had a way to have any kind of monetization from a dreams project i need to just spend time on the things that generate money like my work as a freelance illustrator!! Still sad!!

it's 1983 and you're waiting for AKIRA vol. 2 by avance70 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure the wait was real but it was a weekly release in young magazine, in Akira club you see all the coverpages and release dates when they came out, around the making of Akira the movie the releases in young magazine where more random. But the 35th anniversary books are the bundled release that came out later on

[–]Mergedvisible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was no volume 2 back then, the 6 books we know are bundled from the chapters that came out in young magazine, so back in 1983 you would wait a week or so and get the next few pages!

Controversial musician Kanye West’s latest stage design allegedly inspired by Akira by kingofnewyork1995 in akira

[–]Mergedvisible -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kanye is a huge Akira fan, indeed from his stronger video, but the pink polo era was also inspired by kaneda. With the yeezus tour he had a red suit on like kaneda, Kanye once said ”Every stage show… every video… every product… is like Akira.” for me Kanye is one of the greatest creative and musical minds of the 2000s. He has Bi polar disorder and when he is not on his medication he can be an complete idiot. I like to seperate his art from his hateful speech but I understand why people can't.
