A anime podcast that never gained fame
Probably won’t be watching it. I’ve been disappointed in the anime to live action conversions I’ve seen.
You’re not the only one. I seen Akira years ago and I am pretty much afraid how Hollywood and Warner Bros are going to butcher this movie.
Hollywood has the resources (special effects and money) to make a spectacular Akira film. Based on past anime adaptations I however remain sceptical. Maybe they are turning a corner though. Some people liked Alita.
True, it might actually be good. Alita did great and maybe with the right tools and people, Akira could be the next great movie adaptation.
I’m afraid they will ruin a great movie.
It’s going to be a challenge to recreate this anime in live action.
