I watched this as a kid, and god damn. Kaori's face at that final moment will haunt me forever. Still gives me the heebie jeebies seeing it again. Ugh.
wow wtf? This isn't the original dub from the 1990's. When Tetsuo says "Kaneda" it sounds more like "Canada"! Lame. And yeah South Park did do a montage to this movie in Trapper Keeper, I don't really think they were making fun of it at all. The fact they saw this movie says a lot.
@dotdotdash2 It's the remastered 001 dub. and btw that's the correct way to pronounce kaneda. the old name says his name WAY wrong lol but if you watched that version first guess you get used to hearing them different. btw i have the original dub on my channel and the jpanese too :D
@tokyorider2019 I lol'd a bit about that because it's almost impossible to pronounce japanese names completely right for english native speakers because of their natural accent (you guys make everything sound perfectly round and edge-less, so the names will always sound off).
literally the most scaring part in the movie, I couldn't sleep after seeing this part, the way that Kaori died and junk and then he kept mutating, getting old turning back to a baby getting old and turning back into a baby again. Just.....shudders
4:46 onward: You want it to stop...you beg it to stop...you hope it'll stop...you PLEAD for it to stop...but it doesn't stop...IT NEVER STOPS!!!!!!! -cries hysterically-
@TheBeefyWizard35 Actually no. getting shot dosent matter. Early in the film you hear the doctor say he wants to give him capsules. he is referring to is the drugs that they give the people with powers to hold that energy potential growth back allowing it to grow slower and at a more steady rate. Tetsuo holds this raw pure energy inside him bigger then the energy a normal human would contain. because he stop taking the drugs his body is forced to evolve?grow to keep it inside mutating rapidly.
@Morzall0055 LOL actually that type of pistol is considerably strong. And the average hand gun bullet travels over 300 miles per hour so believe it or not even though you don't see it in movies alot gun shots usually will lift you off the ground on impact. force just blows you right off your feet and if you start rolling on the ground then your screwed haha
@tokyorider2019 You got it reversed. Movies tend to over exaggerate the effects of gunshots. If a gun had the power to knock a shootee off his/her feet, then it would have equal potential to knock the shooter off of his or her feet.
@tokyorider2019 Bullets (in hand calibers) do not generate the kinetic force required to knock a man sized target off his feet. Falling over from pain/shock is different. The idea that a pistol round, or even a rifle, will blow someone back has been disprove time and time again. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the gun had enough energy to knock a target over at range, it would blow the gunner back as well.
Ive got a Japanese art book that shows the original designs and artwork behind this scene. The original pencil sketches are completely amazing.
I'm selling it on EBay at the moment, its called the "AKIRA ANIMATION ARCHIVES". It Includes all the original pencil sketches done whilst designing the film. Everything from the characters, vehicles and backgrounds is shown.
Search "AKIRA ANIMATION ARCHIVES" on Ebay. Its pretty rare, even in Japan, but completely awesome.
This........ this is what scared me all those years ago, i've always remembered this weird slime monster eating somebody and this is exactly it! Wow i can't believe i actually figured out way it was from , gotta give akira a second watch :3
lol, i always wondered where that giant-ass blob cartman turned into was parodied from, then i watched akira last night because of andrew from the movie "chronicle"
6:25 Wait... is that Kaori's arm... Kaneda seems to look at itt strangely and it doesn't seem like it could be his based on skin color/angle/proportion...
The new dub is so poor in comparison ... And what really sucks is that the Streamline Dub wasn't remastered as an Alternate English Audio Selection for the Blu-ray release. So pissed! Looks like I'm holding onto my Special Edition DVD Release until the wise the fuck up. I might buy the Blu-Ray release for the 5.1 HD Japanese Audio, but for now I'll wait.
Seriously though, the addition of dialogue in some parts, because they think audiences wont understand what's happening ? Insulting really.
1:43 This movie was clearly ahead of it's time during its initial theatrical release (1988). We can clearly see the Colonel wearing a Bluetooth device on his right ear. XD
@e2h2tony Tetsuo, the one transforming, has gained incredible psychic powers. The mutation is them overwhelming him and forcing a terrible evolutionary change. You should really watch this movie, it's pretty fucking fantastic.
Hey everybody sorry about the audio i never realized but the sound isnt EXACTLY synced and matched up with the video but its only alittle off so sorry for the trouble.
@P00PD0G89 Welll just think. If you can do wearwolf transformation then why not a GIANT 50 FOOT BLOB MORPHIN CREATURE!.....................yeah..................ik ik T__T
@fraildragon Im sure everyone watching are like like SHOOT SHOOT RUN RUN! but it realality everyone would be in shock haha which is beautifuly captured hear. haha fukcin scary real XD
@FinalCAlegit omg are you serious? For one thing, why would you even be watching this if you haven't seen the movie, which it amazing by the way. And two, you just ruined the most insane ending of all time by watching this. Go watch the movie from beginning to end right now.
Out of all the gory rated R movies I've seen this will always be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. And I've seen this scene alot and it never gets old. Still Akira will remain my favorite anime movie of all time. Plus the animation is downright amazing for 1989. Like the scene where Tetsuo makes akira come out of the ground, and that wasn't even SGI that was 100% anime.
@LeloughTheRebelion Yeah it is pretty gooy and sticky! HAHAHAHA! also i agree with your comment on the animation. i hate when they muix 3d computer abnimation with 2d animation like Blue Submarien 6. Plus akira is 100% hand drawn cel animation. Raw, gritty, and old fashion. Also one thing i would also like to touch on is the music. also very beautiful. so yeah thats all i have to say about that lol.
OMG I watched this shit when I was like 3 or 4. I was absolutely terrified! Now I think it's cool but still disturbing though.
