What was his fucking problem?

something about not being respected by the clique or something

>>144667536
He wanted to be a Street Fighter

>>144667536
he was a manlet

>>144667536
Maybe his QUALITY head would be a good start.

>>144667536
What problem?
50% of the teen out there would act like him if they get power

He wanted a better hairline

no one man should have all that power

he crashed into child on highway and directed grief toward his friends for their previous transgressions

Autism

Drugs and super powers

>>144667536
Bike gangers are dicks when given god like powers more at 11

He did nothing wrong.

>>144667536
An inferiority complex towards Kaneda.

>>144667536
The manga was better

way better, hell it actually had Akira in it

I get mild chuckle from these threads

>>144667824
His brain was getting bigger retard.

1. Delinquent youth
2. Small man complex
3. Gradually becoming the most powerful entity in the cosmos
4. Promptly after escaping the facility, and before his rampage, he kills the local drug dealer and fucking takes ALL THE DRUGS

>>144667536
Drugs. Drugs are bad, m'kay.

>>144671061
I don't know, it's actually cool see the actual protagonist of the series being a bunch of organs in tubes

>>144667536
He accidentally the entire Neo Tokyo.

>>144674108
E.X.P.L.O.D.E.

he loved bad bitches

>>144667536
Big ass forehead. He can't get girls with his head ass looking self. His ears look like they're falling off his head, why they so low? He wears a cape in 2016. Period. I don't know what it is about his eyes but they make him look like a crackhead. His smile and eyes together spell autism.

>>144671426
This isn't totally true. Drugs are only bad for education.

They are scientifically proven to be good for health

He was a ghetto ass nigga.

His eyes are too close to his nose.

How could this terrible plot justify a high animation budget ?

It was like watching a Michael Bay's movie turned into an anime t. Ghibli

He had a tough life

He got knotted by the bear

He was getting bald early.

>He didn't like Akira

Is this contrarian or can you actually justify this?

Why did he even hang out with his friends in the first place if he would kill them the first chance he got? In the manga he explodes the heads of one of them for no reason at all. He just inexplicably becomes psychotic once he starts getting headaches.

Kaneda

Judging by his massive forehead, I'd say Hydrocephaly

He wanted to go to Canada

What i am confused is, what was the military thinking?
Let's recap, shall we:
-One of your psychic senior-children is being forced to escape into the real world by some terrorist group
-You follow him
-He accidently blows up the bike of some random teenager
-You convince him to come back home and take the teenager with you
-You decide for WHATEVER THE FUCK REASON to make the same experiment on him as you did with the senior-children 30 years ago

>>144681300
Didn't they experiment on him years ago and the incident awakened his powers? Or something.

>>144667536

It's baby's second hot take, coming in fresh right off of "Cowboy Bebop is overrated"

>>144681503
i haven't read the manga in ages, but at least based on the anime there was no such thing

>>144678892
>>144681785

Cowboy Beebop and Akira offer both good scenery, graphic and overall ambiance (music, theme, graphics, chara design) for their time.

But the plot is weak and is only here to justify the later.

However while Cowboy succeded at creating an "intemporal" show, Akira is bounded to the 90s Japanese punk-rebellious style. It gave you the same feeling than watching an american 80s movie (bad guys being scary just because they wear leather jackets, scream, don't listen to adults and assert their confidence in the fact they are non-normative character inb4 80s pre-hipster aka punk).

Maybe in few years we will bear the same opinion regarding terrorists portrayed in movies "what ? why everyone is afraid of them ?"

But as I said, poor charachter development is not the main reason why Akira failed to catch my attention. It's the fact that action scenes rarely bring any information to the story. It looks a lot like Lost. Maybe the authors are wanking behind their screentyper machine, but they failed to convey that deeper meaning the show is supposed to have.

>>144684481
>but they failed to convey that deeper meaning the show is supposed to have.

you're the one jacking off, here

>>144684481
I forgot if someone involved in the movie said this but you can think of the city being the "main character" since it wasn't long enough to adapt the story of the manga. The movie only establishes a setting that feels interesting with lots of different groups who have their own concerns inhabiting it.

>>144678892

Akira is completely average besides the stellar Geinoh Yamashirogumi ost and having a budget

It's not really bad, it's just the textbook example of overrated due to very limited exposure of it's fans to the medium

>>144678948
Isn't psychosis a disorder where you can't tell the difference between reality and imagination? Kaneda was getting super powers to turn his thoughts into reality.

Who wouldn't go psychotic over that?

>>144678948
Tetsuo is the runt of the group. The rest of the gang picks on him, and he probably wants to kick their asses to prove that he's the baddest dude. When he gains his powers he starts to lose his mind and quickly goes way too far.

>>144667536
He's an amoeba granted awesome man-like power.

>Manlet
>Forehead
>Overly sensitive
>Teased the most out of everyone in the gang
It's no wonder he went bonkers
Considering how close he is to me, I wonder how long I have

>>144667536
Teenage rebellion phase.

>>144678948

He was that guy in a group of friends who was the end of every joke.

He could have laughed it off but getting powers and shit not to mention he had to get his friends to stop the raping of his girlfriend. He was a giant asshole when Akira came down though

>>144672114
Akira wasn't the protagonist. He was the titular character. Kaneda is the protagonist.

>>144678892
Akira is bad you retard, the movie is fucking awful and only looks pretty.
