Norrington told the Reporter that his draft "preserves the tone, the visual and the epic scope of the original, whilst telling a somewhat more accessible story [to Western audiences]."

I think this means they are gonna dumb it down...

Screw Kaneda! We need Tetsuo to pop some heads here!

At least it couldn't possibly be any worse than that unofficial DBZ live-action flick...could it?

All though I do agree with the head poping I was talking about my buddy Kenada here on the boards. He's an Akira buff and this is going to piss him off something fierce...well, he'll be back on Tuesday, I'm already dreading that day...

I'm just afraid to see what the industries' reaction is gonna be when this tanks. Happy with your underground, city-only anime feature releases? Enjoy them while they last! This thing's a-gonna screw us all over!

Visions of "Wing Commander" are dancing in my head


:::shudder:::

I bet they do Sylvester Stallone as Kaneda, Screech from Saved by the Bell as Tetsuo and Courtney Love as the Chick.

And, of course, Chris Rock as the army chief


wow, i really think this will close alot of doors to limited run US anime stuff.

Make nice with you local import shop while you can.

...whilst telling a somewhat more accessible story [to Western audiences]."

This is the line that spells disaster.
Well, while it is a sacrelige, I'm not that upset. I'm just going to ignore it and hope it doesn't deter newcomers from reading and watching the original manga and anime.

...why...?

may god have pity on his soul.
