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

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

This is just big budget live action superhero trash but for losers who grew up too cool for that sort of thing

The 90s, when liking mainstream anime made you a cool guy.

I was a sci fi kid and naturally gravitated towards poo poo like Ghost in the Shell and Neuromancer.

Then they started with the pillows and the 2000 year old dragons and what not.

Obviously no remake would ever make me feel the same way as seeing Akira on VHS did at age 13 in some friends basement, it would just suck to see it reduced to an angsty buddy teen movie with DC style action scenes. Considering most films are written by committee these days it probably would be :shrug:

My wife & hit a few bars last night and one place a dude was on a date while wearing a my hero academia shirt. His date seemed into him and he was far from the worst dressed guy there.

Yeah but you know they can never go back to his place or the jig is up.
