I don't get it

Read the manga if you really care, the movie was basically the first couple of volumes with bits and pieces of the others thrown in.

I feel like they subverted the traditional protagonist trope

Dystopia. Psychic kid goes goes mad. Japanese government tries to SHUT IT DOWN. Psychic kid's former friend tries to stop him with the help of wrinkly children.

There's nothing to get. It told a story from beginning to end. If you want to be a le deep fag and pretend like chinese cartoons are somehow intellectual, watch the K-on movie.

Sorry you weren't smart enough to understand the most complex story of our time...

you won't, it's a mashup of 6 graphic novels, and the ommision of a lot of content. the most notable thing the animation holds is its non computer generated. all those light effects are hand drawn etc etc

That's because it removed half of the manga so nothing makes sense anyway.

If you watch Akira, just watch it for the experience. It's pretty and sometimes that's enough.
