Fans of the 25 year old anime are surely going to find somethig to be just spitting mad about and I personally cant wait.

If this is just a shot-for-shot remake with the actors acting like they're cartoon characters it will be its purest stupid and beautiful and I'm going to get disappointed when it's not like that.

Little upsetting they chose an asian actor to play "Spike Spiegel", a character clearly intended to be of germanic descent.

Asian people can also be of Germanic descent

If that trailer/intro is any indication it's exactly that.

It’s heavily inspired and will probably have a few scenes that are shot for shot, but it won’t be 1:1 the whole way. Knowing Netflix, it’s probably only 6-7 episodes anyway. Who knows how far into the anime they’ll get.

I KNOW and that is why my hopes are up. A live action remake doesn't really have much of a POINT but if they go nuts and just make it a shot-for-shot pose-for-pose with them acting like cartoons then like, I am extremely here for it. I need it to be this this stupid and it's the only way I'd be hype about it.

It's a Netflix show so regardless of its quality, popularity, or success they'll probably just cancel anyway.

That's the point, they can't get excited because the actress is wearing too many clothes.

P much how I feel when I see posts on Twitter micro-analyzing why this is bad while displaying all their astonishingly wack amateur comprehension of film theory and photography. Legit every remake or adaptation ever it owns.

This just looks like one of those fake trailers with professional actors that gets made every now and again to promote and anniversary or new blu-ray set.

Yeah, it has the vibe of a well done youtube. Technically impressive, but kind of cheap by hollywood standards. How much money does netflix have again?

Stuff that works in a cartoon or print format just doesn't necessarily translate to live action.

Somebody thought this was a good idea and held on to it for years. Also it's true about them trying to attach Keanu for a while. But they did GITS and this so it's only a matter of time before the idiots try to live action Akira. Shameful. But I guess it's an excuse to show ppl the genuine article again.

e. Also why do ppl do that dumb sword-spin thing. It looks the opposite of cool. Can we stop this trend already? Just knock whatever it is out of their hand and say Yeah that's what happens when you let go of something, idiot.

I've never seen or read Akira but in my mind the live action version would be...

Re-animate that guy who was famous from Fast and Furious, stick his corpse on a Kawazaki and tell him to go fast again.
