So why hasn't Katsuhiro Otomo utilized this franchise's immense popularity to make a short anime or a movie series in order to properly present the story's narrative. The stand alone film is good but it really doesn't do the manga justice when it comes to it's plot, so much was cut out.

Because he doesn't milk a franchise. I personally love both the film and the manga. The film is impressive enough as a standalone piece, which can rope people into the manga. There's no need to create a precise, animated substitute for the manga anyway, given that it's an excellent story which can stand without requiring a full adaptation. The thing is, I really don't want Akira to end up like Ghost in the Shell, with god-knows how many rehashes.

It's the Evangelion/2001ASO thing: if you want to experience it - watch it, if you want information - read it

GITS was always an episodic series, it lends itself well to being interpreted through different lenses.
