People's cope of this movie is real.

I never read the manga but thought that the anime's plot was pretty coherent with no particular holes to it.

>30 years ago Tokyo blew up when Akira ascended as a higher lifeform. The movie is set in a near-futuristic dystopia where delinquent motorcycle gangs are running the streets and the government is secretly trying to recreate Akira.
>The main character is Kaneda, the leader of the motor cycle gang and his orphan sidekick Tetsuo, a bitchy little fag that never measures up and is the whipping boy for the gang.
>One of the test subjects breaks out of the government facility, gets caught with Tetsuo and they both get brought back. Tetsuo turns out is compatible with the Akira, I dunno, gene therapy or whatever, and manifests stronger than the other kids. It ends up being too much power, and he escapes and slowly loses control over it while he bullies everyone that mistreated him.
>The kids all confront Tetsuo, summon Akira who ascends with Tetsuo and blows up Neo-Tokyo the way Akira did back with original Tokyo. Along the way some B-plots about protestors, corrupt politicians and orphan street gangs.
>The End.

What did I miss?

Yes, that's a quote from the movie.
>>
>>217214328
I got that, but my issue is how undeveloped things are character-wise.
So, the emotional core of the movie relies on Kaneda's relationship with Tetsuo, but that doesn't come across at all.
Tetsuo spends barely any time with Kaneda's gang before he starts going crazy.
So, Tetsuo spends the entire movie being antagonistic to Kaneda, and I don't believe Kaneda actually cares about him.
I can imagine their payoff being a payoff in the manga, but here it is just undeserved.
>>
>>217214632
The movie has flashbacks to them growing up in an orphanage together and Kaneda protecting him from bullies when they were kids.

Mid movie carried eternally by the first 8 minutes

Only in the end and very briefly does not retroactively make me care about them.

The motorcycle only works in anime form, real life looks dorky.

Motorcycles still look cool, it's just methheads and rednecks make it look lame cause they all ride cheap ass Harleys.

Worst faggot propaganda shit I’ve ever seen in my entire fucking life. I very badly regretted watching this steaming pile of shit I literally heaved my guts out after finishing it, like. I think y’all 4cuck's niggers can relate to this level of shitting unadulterated cinematic suffering, or else you’re just some retarded clanker who can’t even comprehend what pain really is. Absolute dumpster fire SON

In the modern remake, KANEDAAAA will be renamed to INDIAAAAAA to reflect the changes that happened since Akira came out.

DO
YOU
SEE???

>>217214632
None of them are able to really care for one another because of the dehumanizing world they inhabit. Tetsuo's dismissiveness towards Kaori, who's the only person who actually cares about him, is meant to show this.

This.
>>217214632
There's enough there for most people but I can see why it's not enough for you. If you remember, Kaneda is the first person to reach Tetsuo after the accident, he's the one who shouts at the military that they can't just take him away, ditto the second time, etc. Kaneda very clearly cares for Tetsuo, and you don't quite remember that.
>>217214328
Manga's worth reading if you ever find the time. A feast for the eyes.
>>
>>217213042
I mean I think the ending is a little loose but everything is pretty well explained, there’s a lot of cool films where the endings are ambiguous
>>
>>217213042
Even judging it as an adaptation is unfair since the source work was unfinished at the time
>>
>>217212921
>no internet SNS cell phone smartphone CCTV centralized facial recognition surveillance AI
>there was a mentioning of rudimentary electronic hacking and insider job
The steel vault door was still cool I give

>>217212921
Rubbish held up by set pieces, action scenes, music and art.
It's lucky that films can still be decent even if the writing is terrible, that's why crap like akira and ghost in the shell is still worth watching.
