  • my dad was obviously an idiot for showing this to me at the age of 9. but really. good movie bros.

  • The soundtrack always gives me the creeps! Besides the pictures :)

  • wait they are only 15?

  • Comment removed

  • voice of ichigo and vash everywere ...

  • Oooohhh fuck it's in english. unwatchable.

  • So f***ing satisfied!

  • ktoś PL?

  • thanks for the awsome upload :)

  • @the yuuzhan if it wasnt for this movie...i never would have become an anime fan, but one saturday morning when cartoon network was still young it was on and i was bored....o not to say i was bored long :) Now i spend my time scouring the airwaves and internet for something that brings back that feeling....well it just as easy as watching it again !

  • I'm surprised that out of all the animation studios involved in Akira, Ghibli was not amount them. At least I am glad knowing Gainax and Studio Pierrot were amount them. Those two anime studios are my favorite out of all the others...

  • Deeply subdued masterpiece, the script has elements of obvious exposition, but It cant take anything away from its incredible animation and action sequences.

  • around 1:11:06 he makes a Chunky face :D

  • there are two English versions, this is the stupid one.

    I'm talking about the script.

    Rather watch it in Japanese..

  • @chalualovver Agreed. I grew up up on the other English version. Watching this one hurts my ears.

  • The voice acting is really bad. The dialog to.

  • can someone plz explain this whole movie to me...

  • @Dankniggah420 Smoookkkeeeee :D

  • Thumbs up if you thought chronicle was a rip off of this.

  • The Pioneer dub is so funny.

  • THIS Is like a Disney movie gone rogue

  • I know where Kanye West got his inspiration

  • I prefer watching anime with their original dubs, with subs, because the English dubs on almost all anime out there don't really stay true to their original Japanese dubs.

  • This cartoon is stupid.

  • I actually prefer the English dub.

  • Holy shit im watching this for like a 1000th time...

  • That poor innocent girl. No mercy for her. Holy shit.

  • @RushTheater100 I know, rite?

  • DAMN! this movie is so slickly intelligent and provocative...thought provoking, thought probing...like an ideal you and a bunch of other geeks can just bounce around in boundless conversation....the pacing of the plot and its layout, even for its time was original..there's the absence of that dragging feeling other animes are usually maimed with without any of the muddled side plots other animes tend to cling to...geek translation: BAD ASS

  • ... why the english dub? Why? WHY? D:

  • @Raegh Dub Hater!

  • not the original sound track !

  • What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The original dub was way a way better dub.

  • Ewww the pioneer dub. I prefer the Origina

  • Ichigo!!!!

  • ahh back when they made good anime... sigh

  • the third impact

  • How can you have degrees K? It's just K.

  • nearly shit my pants to realize you uploaded this....THANK YOU!

  • thanks for the upload...i prefer subtitles but this dub is better than others ive seen, im sure the colnols voice is wharf from star trek lol

  • they became a singularity wow

  • @BrandNewSongz GOOD! If I find out that anyone out there is making a live action film, I will turn them into a pile of penis ranch dressing! Everyone needs to know that some animated films are not meant to have a live action adaption as animation can provide brilliant and dazzling scenes without the use of expensive CG or live action. In the case of Akira, the scenes are amazingly gaphic and frightening. But hey, we all grow up...

  • wow..... this dubbing of akira is awful

  • @timothypike1991 the dubbing is awful to u ? you must be young...

  • @playadelrey100 i am 21. i prefer the streamline dubbing frm 1989

  • man it must have taken so much work to create all of this.

  • I mean... whoever had watch this movie just by seeing the trailer of chronicle'd easily see the similarities.

  • @Kamyu03 shut up your not funny...and dont reply to this

  • I can only say this:

    If Star Wars showed the whole world that nothing is impossible in the cinema realm, then it is Akira that showed the whole world that nothing is impossible in the anime/manga realm...

  • This film really sucks as hell!

    The only good part was 0:00:00 to 2:05:28...

  • @TheYuuzhan Hehe

  • By the way you guys, I got good news and bad news.

    The good news is that the Americans have cancelled their ideas on making a live action film. The bad news is that now the French plan on making it...

  • @TheYuuzhan No no, the french version was just a fanmade teaser xD

  • @harombee Well, that makes sense now.

  • Ive watched this 5 times and some parts remained un-clear. Then I watched this high........... IT MADE SO MUCH FUCKING SENSE!!!!!

  • @germandarkman Oh really? Clarify what you got out of it while high, as opposed to when you were sober.

  • @germandarkman I've watched this one time and found it pretty easy to follow and understand while totally sober.

  • wow the reason i love anime movies so much is because they display what real pain is like, and man this sure showed it...

  • I'm pretty sure Chronicle writers took Akira and DBZ's ideas to make their movie. Still good tho.

  • @xenonmobius co-writer and director of chronicle Josh Trank did actually say that Akira was a huge influence of the movie

  • this anime was so crazy when I first watched it years ago (Portuguese from Brazil dub), I gotta say I don't like English dub for animes but without a doubt the dubbing of this version was outstanding, quite a remarkable work.

  • Good god there's more god damn explosion happening then a Michael Bay movie!

    Also I'm confused at the end... is "Tatsuo" god or something?

  • 13 people had their homes blasted by SOL 740

  • @RoweroMacka 15 people got their heads whacked off with a sledgehammer by Tetsuo.

  • Can Someone point me in the Direction of the Blue Ray? i cannot find it At FYE and.i don't really live in a place that frequents anime besides that place

  • @harombee Try Amazon.com.

  • @Lannareth you know this movie costs $49 new on amazon for the dvd verison and blu ray costs $91 dollars. all the stores around me dont sell akira so watching it here was better than spending 40 to 100 dollars.

  • @raginghawk17 Dont worry man hes just a troll

  • @raginghawk17 i flagged that other dudes comment for spam!!! :D long live free movies!!!

  • @Lannareth *Flagged for being a jackass*

    Sorry, but I had to do it. The youtube users lose patience if you do this.

  • @xXNirvanaLithiumXx lol he is flaging all replys about him

  • @Lannareth Are you fucking autistic?

  • @Lannareth You're a real fucking dick. WHAT DEVELOPERS YOU FUCKING MORON?!?! 

  • @Lannareth HAHAH "Develpolers" this aint a video game son this movie has been around Doku doku or whatever that Japanese youtube is, for FREE for at LEAST 5 years.shut the hell up and stop bein butthurt, it would be different if this was a newer movie like the Evangelion stuff then i would be right with you but THIS,, come on

  • @Lannareth Really you scumbag Really?

  • @Lannareth Anater Fat ass guy sitting in his computer surfing the internt, finind something to do, i got something you can do get up your lazy ass and hit the gym

  • Wow...fantastically Bizarre and imaginative...great animation also...thanks for the upload...first exposure to Akira, not sure of the whole premise, but really enjoyed the journey.

  • so wheres the rest of the movie. no way it ends lik tht. im confused

  • @danielherron57 nah thats REALLY how it ends haha

  • Johnny Yong Bosch use to be the black Power Ranger for quite a while and he almost looks like the sexy wolf guy from Twilight. He, and Stephanie Sheh, who is another anime voice actor and quite the sexy girl, are among the best English anime voice actors out there. They also do quite a number of anime together.

    I wonder why...?

  • @TheYuuzhan When you have such Good Chemistry with each other, people see that and choose actors they KNOW will mesh, I am sure its partly them saying "OH him?/Her? yeah there GREAT" and working together and then the actual production team saying doing the same thing

  • I absolutely fucking refuse to see anything after 1:44:41, seeing Tetsuo lose his power really pisses me off. I can't imagine such an iconic figure perishing in such a shitty way, why couldn't he wipe out Neo-Tokyo and destroy the entire planet?!?! It boggles my mind how such an incredible character as Tetsuo perishes in such anticlimactic fashion. Fuck this shit, the movie is incredible but I can't watch anymore.

  • @viletree The power overcame him ... that's it.

  • @viletree Jeez, it's just a movie man. I'm not a huge anime nerd or anything but i do love Akira. I guess you didn't pay enough attention to the movie. Tetsuo doesn't really die, he goes to another dimension with Akira. The espers thought they could bring Akira back someday, they probably could have done the same for Tetsuo. But as they went into the explosion to save Kaneda, it's unknown that any of them can come back now

  • thanks i really like it.

  • His name is Johnny yong bosch, he's a mega hotty and an excellent voice actor.

  • ichigo

  • 49:31 what the flip...

  • TETSUOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is the 2001 version as the guy who is voicing Kaneda is Johnny Yong Bosch.

  • @50:13 cocaine is one hell of a drug. Love this movie.

  • so im not the only one who thought chronicle reminded them of this...

  • @dawesttv DUDE LOL i was JUST sayin that, i haven't seen it yet, but like simultaneously Me,my Uncle,MY best Friend and even my MOM (who is surprisingly into animation in general) were like...Akira?

  • @dawesttv The ending scene especially

  • @dawesttv NOPE. I love you for saying that.

  • @dawesttv nope...first time i saw the trailer this is what i thought of..u know that diCaprio is producing a live action Akira too rite? will prolly SUCK but o well

  • oh and

    LOVE the music

  • wow that was a great movie even though it doesn't give you a total clue as to whats going on really

  • I'm glad I was interested in chronicle and stumbled on to this movie. Haven't seen chronicle yet, but it would be worth it since it lead me to this

  • I love how they go in Akiras energy to save Kaneda because "He was innocent and he didnt deserve to die"

    Yet, think about how many innocent people died in that explosion

  • Awesome!

  • THANKS THIS SHOULD BE IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WHAT A CLASSIC

  • anyone want my vhs orion dub

  • magnifique!!! ^_^

  • sencillamente perfecta.

  • Katsuhiro Otomo, Mamoru Oshii, Hayao Miyazaki, and (although somewhat controversial) Hideaki Anno. If it hadn't been for these men, the anime realm would never be as popular as it is today.

  • This is the 2001 Pioneer dub. How do I know? Johnny Yong Bosch is in it.

    But while both the Streamline and Pioneer dubs are not bad, they are nothing compared to the original Japanese dub...

  • is this the 1990 version or 2001

  • @tatulover2120 I believe its the 1999 version

  • @tatulover2120 If you hear a ninja turtle talking, it's the 90 version.

  • <3 love akira!!

  • Johnny Yong Bosch!

  • love this anime GO type in K9999 On google image or youtube

    K9999 Is similar to Tetsuo shima

  • this movie was one of the first movies to make realize walt disney was wack!

  • @mastadon8215 ROFL I agreed

  • @nasserq11 If Funimation can't let you do their anime, could you do the anime from Bandai Entertainment or Viz Media...?

  • i remember watch this as a kid i love this movie but the Little kids always creep me out lol

  • Akira > Chronicle. FUCK chronicle.. but at least they didnt just ruin akira by making an English (remake)

  • Are these the original voice actors from the original movie? I remember the voice of the main character was played the same guy who voiced Leonardo from TMNT (old animated series) it doesn't sound the same. And what's chronicle?

  • I saw Chronicle, I just HAD to see THIS again. I fucking love these two films.

  • Without Chronicle I never would have found Akira <33

    Both great movies!

    Can anyone recommend other movies like these two? 

  • @HumphreyTheWolf I liked chronicle, but can I ask how it introduced you to Akira? Is there like a reference to the anime while watching the movie? I may have missed it.

  • @RushTheater100 Well Josh Trank directed Chronicle, and Akira is one of his favorite movies, so there were a few scenes. And everyone said in the comments right before Chronicle came out "Reminds me of akira"

    So that's how I got introduced ^^

  • @HumphreyTheWolf

    same here :) I just saw Chronicle yesterday and there was alot of mention of Akira so i just finished this and i really liked it too ^.^

  • I don't understand what was this movie about? Someone please answer me.

  • thank you

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you. I haven't watched this video close to 20 years ago.

  • This translation although more accurate, is a bit annoying.

    I liked the '91 american theater version's voice acting better.

    Still amazing anime that those born after it can't quite grasp the awesomeness of...

    Otomo is to animation what color was to film in general!

  • FORGET MY LAST COMMENT, THAT MOVIE WAS AMAZING

  • *gasp*

    he killed the dogs.

    no, you dont kill dogs. kill men, women, kids, but you DONT kill the dog

  • The Ultimate psychic free for all:

    - Tetsuo

    -Mewtwo

    -Andrew

    -Dark Pheonix from X-men 3

  • I dont understand the ending...

  • Seriously awesome anime :3 Kanedaaa!

  • I'm happy to hear that the live-action Akira movie has been shut down. I really don't want to see Hollywood take a massive dump on Katsuhiro Otomo's animated classic.

  • @Loader2K1 they already made an Hollywood remake of this movie's idea, it's Chronicle, and its out in theaters now, its pretty good

  • @AZNJABBA: Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait for DVD or bootleg to see Chronicle. The only movie theater that I can go to doesn't carry the film.

  • 1:19:55

    

  • Original work 1982.

    Animation movie 1988.

  • WHOOO WEE I FREAKIN LOVE THIS FILM

  • His name is NOT Canada!!

  • I was going to go watch chronicle tonight at the movie theater, but then I thought,

    Why not stay home and watch the real thing.

  • I am able to upload any video that's not copyrighted by Funmation, Apparently they block there video worldwide if you upload there videos, so give me what you want me to upload

  • Comment removed

  • english dub again... no, pls no..

  • @KrzywiznaSosny i dont under stand why people hate english dubs there alot better then having to read off the screen and missing half the movie

  • @TheGreatShism I just feel that i'm loosing half of movie without original voices. I'm not talking only about english dub. That's about dubbing at all. I just prefer to hear original actors, becouse they usually sounds better, they are directors pick and... they have more feelings in their voice and they fit more to film :)

  • @KrzywiznaSosny o i thought you ment the japenese voices

  • @TheGreatShism its mainly because some dialogue is sometimes changed or scenes are removed due to western morals or values, translations can be off. Although some animes are pulled off great in english, alot of voice actors don't take them seriously and put on voices like its a childrens cartoon. Thats just my opinion anyway

  • @MilkShott Japanese voice actors are generally really terrible. Their is no variety in terms of the type of voices you hear in their characters. They like to give a lot of their female characters annoyingly high pitched voices. For males, depends on age. They generally give their younger male characters (from teen to young adult), very "pretty boyish" voices, and their older male characters, very bland and over-exaggerated deep voices. There is basically nothing special about japanese actors.

  • @lifeisgood1013 I know most anime fans swear by watching it in Japanese with english subtitles, but to be quite honest, I can't enjoy it the same way if I do that.

    Could be that I grew up watching Akira in english, and I just think they did a fine job on those voices, so I can get into it better.

    One example of English > Japanese is in Nausicaa. I see no reason to watch it in Japanese as the English voice actors are amazing.

  • @Sajun88 I forgot to mention that it also becomes a pain to have to read the subtitles and watch what's going on at the same time. 

  • @lifeisgood1013 Yeah that's true too. In regular movies I'll do subtitles to make sure I don't miss something they've said, but Akira deserves 100% of your attention. =)

  • @lifeisgood1013 they are generally way better than dubs theres usually alot more emotion from the original actors. Have you ever seen a japanese film that isnt an anime? They really do sound like that..

  • Oh god...those eyes....that mouth,.....dem faces! o.o''

  • Boy, Oh, Boy! The Anime realm surely has been entertaining during all those years.

    Dragon Ball, Astro Boy, Speed Racer, Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Evangelion, Akira, Death Note, Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D, Lupin III, Ninja Scroll, Trigun, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Bleach, One Piece, Code Geass, the Ghibli films, and many more...!

    Who knows what will come in the future?

  • Anime first made its debut in the year of...........1917! This means that, by 2017, Anime will be 100 years old.

  • CHRONICLE

  • i got some of my game ideas from this movie =)

  • fucking glad that the shitty live action version got canceled - seriously

    burn hollywood burn

  • This Movie is LEGENDARY

  • @nasserq11 you're a saint for this.

  • Sos un idolo hermano.

  • 18:36...chuckle.

  • classic....love the story.

  • Total...Mind...Fuck.
