So I just finished watching this movie and I honestly have no idea what the fuck I just watched...
can someone explain the plot to my dumb ass? here's what I kinda got:>there's 4 kids born with superpowers for some reason, one of them is akira
>he ended up in pieces for some reason
>one of the 3 kids try to escape the military for some reason
>there's a rebel group/resistance/terrorists, I have no idea what their deal is, why they tried to free one of the 3 kids
>the military takes some completely fucking random kid to experiment on, experiment to give superpowers, a fucking thug of all people, what kind of fucking plan is that
>the thug starts wrecking havoc and for some reason wants to see akira
>his superpowers are random as fuck, I lost all suspension of disbelief when he went to motherfucking space and then started making a cyber arm to replace his lost limb, how the fuck is that explained, the girl says something about it at some point in the movie but I don't know
>why are the 3 kids tormenting him anyways
>at the stadium, he starts growing, I know that's because the meds they gave him are wearing off but why the fuck does he grow
>akira gets reborn somehow then I just have no fucking idea what the fuck happens at the very end
seriously, all my WTF
Read the manga
>>142548624
so you need to read the manga to understand the movie?
welp that sucks
>>142548656
That's the general consensus, yes.
>>142548656
No, you need to have a brain to understand the movie.
The movie's plot is really simple and let you imply the details about the universe they present from certain scenes.
>>142548656
The movie covers roughly the first third of the manga with a tacked on ending. The most interesting parts of the manga take place AFTER the stuff the film covered.

you're not helping me here
Fuckoff reddit
>>142548780
Lurk for two years before posting.
>>142548776
that's alright, I don't plan on reading the mangas, I didn't even know there were any
>>142548824
nah fuck that, I'm not an anime lover, I just wanted someone to clear me up a bit on that movie and since the movie is anime I came to /a/, I guess that's too much to ask for
>>142548865
>I guess that's too much to ask for
Yes. Now leave.
>>142548656
The manga and the movie are really different.
Shit deviates a lot from the point where tetsuo or canada, i cant remember which, finds akira.
In the movie he finds him dead and in bits, and this escalates to red cape lad getting turbo cancer
In the manga he finds him the same way but dying that way didnt kill him. Red cape guy and akira then team up to start their own eroge company and sell smut to japanese nerds.
Unfortunately the rest of japan didnt care for their inflation guro porn and it was a complete financial flop. The manga ends with both of them as jobless neets

>SPOILER WARNING
>So I just finished watching this movie
>Saying spoiler warning on /a/
How long have you been on 4chan? You do know that caring about spoilers is looked down upon here, right?
There's a reason Akira flopped.

I don't remember why I was under the impression that it was a must see anime movie, I though it was going to be good
cowboy bebop is next on my list, is that really good, I think I remember hearing that it was but then again so did I though for akira
>>142548865
/a/ is a shithole
If you have a serious question than go somewhere else, away from 4chan.
>>142549190
thanks for the advice, though I don't know any place
>>142549221
google reddit + akira there are tons of reddit threads that explain the plot
>>142548656
The movie only covers like half the manga
>>142549321
thanks, never visited reddit before, guess it'll be time to see why 4chan in general hates that place so much
>>142548524
Its just a shit show that tried to be deep but failed.

4chan hates most things by default. 4chan is like a small, jealous and envious child
