What did I just watch?
ugly shit
>>290853940an overrated film that doesn't work without the rest of the story it's adapting
>>290853940Kino
>>290854705>the rest of the story it's adaptingque?
>>290854766It has a much longer manga.
What likely propelled the Disney Renaissance and Evangelion simultaneously :D
>>290853940Akira, presumably.
Source material is lengthy and explains in depth why New Age mysticism is dangerous and can be exploited to fuck you overMovie is short simplified and makes it look like New Age mysticism is an easy solution to human failings.
>>290855010>New Age mysticism?
>>290853940I liked the body horror in this one quite a lot. You don't see it often these days.
>>290853940PEAK
>>290853940Should've read the manga first, the film leaves out a good 70% of the actual story there and I can imagine it comes off as a confusing mess without the prior knowledge.
>>290853940
>>290853940Unc slopNostalgia carries it
>>290853940You just watched a Greatest Hits album that covers the first 1/3rd of the band's discography.Read the manga.
>>290853940overrated shit.
>read manga>Akira and his gang are actually drug addicts
>>290858643They are popping pills in the movie. Stop watching movies at 2x speed, nigger.
>>290854955>>290854766>que?nothing. The manga is a bit longer and everyone acts like it explains much more, which it doesn't. It just has 70% of it's story as a dystopian mad max filler arc which accomplishes nothing.
>>290859092Naive question, the pills are supposed to be meth or molly right? If the story is an allegory for the atomic bombs it makes sense for the pills to be uppers rather than psychedelics or opiates, even if a lot of opiates were used in the war and would have been leftover and propped up the original Bosuzoku gangs. A story about how Japan really hasn’t changed from the mindset that brought it to defeat in WWII anyway.
>>290859267It accomplishes being a followable story.
>>290859448if you're too retarded to pay attention maybe
>>290859473The movie is firmly in "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO" territory.
>>290859506that's the cool thing: it isn't, you are, as I previously mentioned, too retarded to pay attentionplus the manga is saying beat by beat the exact same thing the anime said, but in text. Thus your dumb slow brain can read it as slow as possible, making it easier to understand for you.
>>290859521It is. Plot points and characters are introduced out of left field with nothing but pristine animation to prop them up. >beat for beatonly 30% by your own admission.
>>290859579>out of left fielddid you watch the movie while scrolling TikTok? Fucking hell, stop being so damn slow>only 30% by your own admission.as I said, the other 70% is just filler that has nothing to do with the beginning or the end.
>>290859754out of left field. If you're going to pretend the bulk of any story is filler, you're not worth arguing with.
>>290853940I wish normalfags had never discovered anime
