Hype

I am literally hyped for this.

Yeah I've heard the movie cut a lot from the manga so I'm interested to see how this will be in comparison.

I for one, am really excited. The movie looked great but I couldnt get into it at all. The story was all over the place and I couldnt understand a thing that was going on.
Hence why I gave the movie a rating of average. It couldnt retain my attention.
So now this is coming out. Hopefully it will give me the context to be able to look at the original movie in a different light.

Wow, i'm beyond hyped for this.

Woah. Okay. The Akira manga (and its 1988 movie) is set in the futuristic year of 2019, and a new anime of it gets announced in 2019. Coincidence? I think not!

I watched the 1988 film years ago, and I enjoyed it. Hoping this is a TV series remake that adapts the whole manga without rushing.

Officially hyped. Been looking forward to read the manga. I've seen the movie but I was left unhappy with that ending.

I hope this satisfy my curiosity.

I hope there’s no modern moe art style.

I still think the original anime film will be better than this TV anime.

Well, aside from the astonishing animation the original movie was pretty bad, so I'm all for a better adaption

Oh, I just hope it's better adapted than the Movie.

thinking about old anime and how awesome they were (80s-2000s)

and thinking about anime nowadays....
i have horribly little hope for this,

-if having low expectations, and it turns out to be actually good= much better feels than high expectations and its effing botched

It better adapts everything.

I am a little reserved for this to be honest. The movie from 1988 in my opinion is one of the best anime movies of all time, and I hope the new project to be close to the old one. I will watch the new one of course, cause I am a fan of Akira and hope for it to be good.

If this TV anime adapts the whole thing then the movie will only have the stellar animation (which I doubt this one surpasses) over this. The movie didn't even adapt the best parts of the manga.

Any news on the studio?

Sunrise is doing the new anime

I despise the manga with a passion so I wont be watching this. easy 2/10.

now this better be good

Interesting. I hope this gets good personnel.

this can't be good

Yesss i think is time to start the manga, I really have hype for this.

Well, the movie was boring but I will watch this anyway

Surprised people actually wanna see a cash grab adaptation of Akira done with shitty modern digital animation instead of just reading a manga that's been out for almost 40 years now...just let it go.

WOW I never would have expected this to happen.

I wonder if this will be a complete adaptation of the manga?

SUNRISE will do a great job, I'M HYPED

Oh shit, guess everything's getting remade these days after all.

I hope they do it justice. I don't think they'll ever make the animation as beautiful and timeless as the film, but I hope it'll still stand the test of time.

Just about to finish the manga.

Akira is what got me into anime. Having watched it in the theater maybe a year after it came out in Japan. It blew my Junior High mind and I still think the animation holds up.

That being said the story got really confusing towards the end. Nearly to the point of boredom. Hopefully the new adaption fixes all of that.

Oh God yes, give it to me !!!

It'll most likely be CG, unfortunately.

Seriously they’re gonna make a reboot of the akira movie we all know what’s going to happen the kid gets drunk with power having his psychological tantrums and then he dies at the end by his friend.

Hopefully the animation lives up to at least 25% of what the movie gave us.

hopefully its not cg. i would expect some good animators to jump on this if it werent, but cg really ruins that traditional feel...

Really hope this would be as good or even better than the original film. I got to see Akira in theaters the last year and I loved it. This new series hopefully can hold its light against the earlier one or all the fans will just be disappointed.

Your username is very fitting lol.

Whose the director, last thing I want is this to be tainted by bad animation and scripting

I hope they follow the art in the manga and not modernize it too much.

I'm hyped, I'm used to disappointment but I still get hyped.

it's this really adapt the full manga those out there that only saw the movie are gonna get more that surprised with the story, hype.

Ahh yes the endless turmoil and debate of a classic remade. roflolmfao LEts see how it goes. Hopefully well.

if the animation is not done the same way the movie was i will be so sad.

I remember watching Akira in theaters in Japan back in 1988. Excited for the new remake.

I only watched it cause movies have higher budget and I like animation, the story is very meh from start to end, I don't think a better adaptation would do it for me.

Definitely a pass.

I really cherish the 1988 film and read 5 volumes of the manga which is also awesome.

Anyone who obsessed with a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk genre (like me) will surely anticipate for a modern adaptation of this cult classic.

a really great film that even my dad, who hasn't seen almost any anime loves. assuming adapting the whole manga makes the story better and the animation continues to be great, this will be amazing!

Anyone knows whether it will be TV series of a movie?

so cool they want to adapt the entire manga :] very hyped about this :]

Can't imagine this new adaptation being anything else than a soulless cashgrab piece of garbage.

If the art is not shit, this could be a G.O.A.T. Akira's manga is practically one of the godparents of sci-fi manga.

Hype intensifies...
But how unexpected o.o

a complete adaptation of the manga? so more like at least 50 episodes?

This is going to save anime y'all
