  • is it a final fantasy movie?

  • The u.s. agian fucked another good japenese movie up.

  • That was really good. Would have been better if the Akira title screen was used

  • That looks like the guy from the king of fighters.

  • Jajaj, this was fabulous XD

  • FINAL FANTASY! muhaha!!11

  • also, the film is one of the greatest I have ever seen

  • this is a fucking horrible trailer. IMO.

  • The best is 1.13. Fucking well done mate xxxx

  • if you liked the animation, you will LOVE the comic. so much depth to the comics.

  • and this was made in 1988!

  • @pangodwangojones Big woop, Valley of the wind was made in 1984.

  • Why is it advertising Final Fantasy at the end

  • all good... BUT, NARUTO!!!

  • ...is this where king of fighters got their idea for K9999?

    haha idk why that made me laugh.

    nice vid

  • nice nice

  • good work

  • it's K9999 :B (KOF)

  • Nice trailer!

  • Spoilers, spoilers everywhere.

  • George Takei is trying to save Akira from being whitewashed by Hollywood, upvote this to spread the word and send a message to the film industry that film adaptions should remain faithful to source material!

  • ._., wow ...

  • Akira, Fist of the north star and the ninja scrolls should all be made into new huge blockbuster movies! Bladerunner too and dune, ok I'm done

  • @lushfauna

    Bladerunner and Dune allready are major films made like 30 years ago, check them out they rock!

  • @sethiegangst If you had bothered to read, he stated that Akira was one of the exceptions and said he found it well animated unlike most anime. Also, most of the series you've listed aren't very well done either, but I guess you're too much of a Japanophile to understand facts.

  • @nightsintodream It's all opinions, actually.

  • uh?

  • the voices are different in my movie i think it sound way better then what i hear here

  • Does anyone have a download link?

  • @speedhackify go to isohunt dot com and type in the movie is there is a torrent

  • akira is just THE anime, the reason why anime good to be popular in the first place in many countries i guess

  • What is that anime?

  • @elinassa akira

  • I just saw this movie last night.........It was so awesome soooooo epic best anime movie of all time!!!!!!!(well I think it is)

  • K.99999! :D

  • Final Fantasy.....  WTF?

  • Good job making it look like a Michael Bay film.

  • wow better than the actual anime trailer of akira

  • this movie is legend!!!! massive! chayooo Japan anime!

  • whats the name of that music that starts at 1:27

  • what is the theatrical soundtrack for this trailer called

  • wow, i could see this beeing a real trailer, with that audio

  • wow!, ma nn è un film ke mi piace - wow!, but I don't like film!

  • K9999

  • Man, really enjoyed this

  • If they are gonna produce a Akira live movie, they should use the producers of the effects in the movie "2012"

  • that was pretty awesome man! :D

  • @lyue1996 these days though anime's getting awesome animation

  • Real good man. Most trailer audio wouldn't do AKIRA justice but you hit the right notes

  • should have been a series or longer film took me a few run throughs to understand the whole mole sub-plot, if you miss like one line of dialogue it get's confusing as hell, but then again I wouldn't have watched it again if it wasn't so amazingly epic.

  • WATCH IT

  • I watch this, I know it's fake, Then suddenly I see Final Fantasy. I think "WTF" until I see Naruto and Sasuke, and that's where I got Brain-raped.

  • @nightsintodream Thanks for the back up, bro.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader lol...

  • @nightsintodream lol, yeah. That guy was cracking up. Weeaboos, don'tcha hate 'em?

  • @nightsintodream Oh, nights...You won't feed them, you will crush them! lol. I'm still waiting to see more vids from you, bro.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader who r u

  • @nightsintodream and who are yoooou @_@

  • @nightsintodream You're you, of course. lol.

  • @lyue1996 Dude, no need to be rude. There are times where Japanese animation can be decent, but they're rarely better than Western animation, this is a fact. Is it because of a lack of skill? No, anyone can be good. Why Japanese animation is usually inferior? Because they focus on producing their cartoons with limited animation to save time and money. Meanwhile Western animated films have a very high budget and are produced over a long span of time, hence why their animation is usually better.

  • Comment removed

  • what is akira anyway?

  • the old animation was very different from the shit they r doing right now, naruto one piece ....

  • @nadhim69

    One piece animation is great =S

  • Nice job with the montage, i hate the main voice, remind me of Bruce wilis movies...That movie is a classical.

  • i actually went out and bought a copy of akira because this looked REALLY good from what I saw in this trailer.

  • Ok, it was great, but you ruined it by keeping the Final Fantasy Logo and "This summer 2001"... Why not using "AKIRA" for the title ending?

  • Comment removed

  • @lyue1996 Yeah, you're right. The reason why is because it actually had a decent production. Usually Japanese animation is known for being cheap, limited and thus quite static compared to Western animation which is usually more fluid. But for this film, they went for a more traditional approach similar to American animated films with decent frame-rate, more cels drawn and actual lip-sync. I hope more anime in the future are produced this way.

  • @lyue1996 That's because it's a film with a larger budget while that Mario cartoon was obviously produced cheaper, it was just a television show after all. But in comparison to other Western animated films, even Akira's anime is ultimately slightly inferior and less fluid.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader awesome a kingdom hearts fan who likes akira

  • @kenkeiomura Truth be told, I'm not exactly a fan of the KH series anymore, well, not as much as I used to be. =P

  • @SoraTheKeyblader well still its good to know that you have wonderful tatse in anime

  • @SoraTheKeyblader we are in the future, this film is from 1988

  • Comment removed

  • @krasnirex Yes, I know. As a big Akira fan, I've known that since I first got into the series. What I was saying is that most anime these days aren't animated in the whole "traditional", big budget style like Akira was done in. They're usually limited and static, hence me saying why I wish in the future we'll get more anime with fluid animation like Akira.

  • @AIONBERSERKER Haha, no.

  • @AIONBERSERKER Uh, the majority of Disney's old films if you cannot recall? Pixar(CGI, but animation none the less). Gargoyles, Batman the animated series, all the DC animated films, Spectacular Spider-Man, Dreamworks' earlier 2D films, etc. There's a lot more.

    Don't be turned off by the crappy flash crap we have today, look at the things that actually had effort put into them.

  • Comment removed

  • @AIONBERSERKER Except the artwork is irrelevant to the quality of the animation/movement. Hence the comments made months ago regarding the subject. When it comes to Western animated features, because they're high budget films, they obviously would have decent animation, and Akira is one specific anime that is animated traditionally like them, hence why it looks so amazing compared to other anime which look static in comparison.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader which western animation are you referring to in particular, would like to see it for myself?, inbox me thanks :-)

  • @AIONBERSERKER And dude. Please don't say that those things I listed suck, it only makes you lose more credibility, as well as making you look like some simple minded Japanophile. This was never about "what's more entertaining" in the first place either, it was merely a discussion regarding the quality of the fluid animation itself. Western animation just served as an example because both Akira and said Western films are animated in similar, traditional styles, hence why Akira looked so good.

  • @AIONBERSERKER Keep deluding yourself, bro.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader this is from the 1980's, dont bother comparing western animation which is extremely simplistic compared to the animation produced in japan, by simplistic i mean both quality of animation and character development.

    See, ghost in the shell, ghost in the shell: innocence, films from the studio ghibli collection (this production house totally shits over disney), patlabor, ninja scroll etc.

  • @Megatr0n12 Except that's not true. While I surely won't speak for subjects such as character development and such, the animation in Western animation is indeed superior. This is a technical fact, not because we're better, but because there's more time and money put into it, it's not like Japan can't do it themselves, they just choose not to. And Studio Ghibli is one of my favorite anime studios, but even they have their limits when it comes to animation(although their art is fantastic).

  • @SoraTheKeyblader

    When it is a matter of choice,there is no such thing as supremacy.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader Wow you're so ignorant. What American animated films? Pixar? Disney? Adult Swim cartoons? There's so much Japanese Animation and it isn't known for cheap animation like Korea. How about Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, FLCL, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Ghost in the Shell, etc. There's a lot of anime that has decent production. Read the book Little Boy by Murakami Takashi. You have to also remember that Akira was also made in 1988 and was hand-drawn.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader the fuck? r u really saying japanese anime is inferior than american cartoon? lol?

  • @SoraTheKeyblader Yep. In fact, the animation in Akira is so fluid and so lively, that no other anime cartoon or film can compare with it. It's truly a timeless classic. As far as records go, there's probably never going to be another anime film like it.

  • @SoraTheKeyblader maybe is right but you can´t denied that the Japanese Anime´stories are so much much much better that those story like...Ben10, Gormishit...ups Gormiti etc etc...

  • @DevilSoma You do realize that Ben 10 and cartoons such as these are indeed different from anime/manga. Their not really inclined to follow a base story and are usually just to entertain a young audience with it's lax plots.

  • wasnt that akira thing in southpark as the trapakeeper ?>. >

  • what the hell is this movie even about?

  • @benjistoll  Awesomeness, awesomeness. Nothing less

  • que estupidez.

  • caralhooO !! estava atrais desse anime faiz um tempao....muito fodaaa !!!

  • ahem

  • ITS RATED R ASSHOLE

  • Um ok the sounds are from the sci fi movie " FINAL FANTASY - THE SPIRITS WITH IN " get it right people...lol

  • I thaught it was rated R

  • @MASR4 it is rated R

  • Akira is an awesome anime movie. It's one of my personal favorites.

  • EVERYONE IN THE WORLD HASN'T SEEN AKIRA; POST A SPOILER ALERT k?

  • check out my review for this movie, if you haven't seen the movie yet.

  • This is better than the actual trailer. Good Job!

  • Akira was kickass, admit it

  • I didn't read the text until after I watched. You tricked me OP, I thought this was the actual trailer.

  • Comment removed

  • akira is very good,i am reading the manga online

  • i hate anime, but akira was amazing!

  • Having seen both FF: the spirits within and Akira, I must highly recommend both movies with extreme praise. FF: The Spirits Within is definitely more straightforward and "American", and it's storyline, while completely different to that trailer, is badass. But Akira...wooah. If you can understand everything, I guarantee that the movie will both shock you and leave a lasting impact. BTW, Akira is more graphic, but both involve copious amounts of death, so have fun.

  • does anyone know where i can read the manga?

  • Yup, that was cool.

  • Correction i mean Kaneda

  • Damn that goes together better than i thought it would.I lold when Takeda was like "Oh my god".

  • Anyone know what site will allow me to stream this film ?

    I would like the English version that does not use the voice actors who voice Rock Steady and Bee Bop from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    I have watched a few minutes of the version that uses the above mentioned actors and they ruin the film with there cartoonist voices.

  • this is like the best movie ever made for ... AMVs lol.

    props man :) honorable people.

  • Best animated movie ever made.

  • didnt they take the audio from the final fantasy spirits within advert
