Why was Kaneda given the spotlight in the movie when he Is a

I was going to watch Akira, but my friend likes it and he said I should read some of the manga before I watched it because it'll be better that way but historically reccomendations from people to do certain whacky orders like that turn out to be bullshit so whatever I guess I just won't watch it

Thanks a

watch it first then read it since the movie skips an entire arc.

because hes a cool character

Because he was a good guy, probably the only one in Akira that showed compassion

>Kaneda is a side character

Have you read the manga? he's the fucking main character you fuckwit

He's just saying that because he disappears for a while after the time skip.

He was quite shitty in the manga, he tried to kill testuo with no remorse. They did not have the same relatonship like in the movie. Thats one thing the movie did better.

I don't know OP why is it called AKIRA if Akira is only a character in it for 10 minutes?

Kaneda is the main character tho? He is also the best character.

The movie was better on the second watch.
