Can you recommend me movies like Akira? I'm not a big fan of anime but this movie was cool. Tried watching Ghost in the shell as many said it's similar but somehow I couldn't enjoy it as much.

Akira is shit though. The animation was good, the soundtrack was cool, but the story and flow is a disenfranchised mess that butchers the manga. Normalslimes just see TRIPPY ANIME BULLSHIT and don't care.
>>
What did you like of Akira?
>>
>>80586384
It's basically an animation reel to show the greatness of japanese animation at the time while also being an advertisement for the manga which is better.

I can imagine that the manga is way better but I still enjoyed the story in combination with the animation, atmosphere, music, etc.

Well, there's the black/white one (as every manga is) and there's the English-language version by the Marvel Comics imprint Epic Comics coloured version by Oliff. The Manga goes way beyond the ending of the movie. Kaneda disappears for several issues and other characters are put in the spotlight. I can tell you to search for download links on desuarchive, but a computer screen doesn't do it justice, so buy it.

You're looking for a movie with an excellent combination?

Because the manga wasn't finished when the movie ended production ...you wanker.

>looking for good sci-fi/cyberpunk anime
Its pretty much just GitS and Patlabor 1/2, but since you didn't like GitS then you certainly won't like Patlabor. You might like Royal Space Force but maybe not
>looking for cerebral and """trippy""" anime
Satoshi Kon's films are good, some of Oshii's films are like this. "Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade" is good but its similar to Oshii's other films (he wrote it but didn't direct). Watch the anthology "Memories," Otomo wrote and directed one of the shorts. Watch NGE+End of Evangelion

Apart from that guy, theres not much like Akira. It is it's own thing

Reminder the rise of /v/edditors coming over to /tv/ as a result of Bane memes has led to a shift in taste on /tv/

99% of the anime threads here are made by /v/edditors who only watch LE EPIC MANIME shonen trash and are too scared to post on /a/ because no one wants to talk about the same 5 old classic anime that only entry level newfaggots know about. Then they cry about /a/ having shit taste and proceed to buy their next avengers movie ticket.

/a/ has actually done a fantastic job at keeping out you /v/eddit scum and so all you faggots come crying here because no one wanted to accommodate your newfaggotry.

Also you all treat /tv/ as a place to ask for recommendations when >>>/wsr/ was made to deal with garbage threads like these that aren't actually discussing anything. This thread should be deleted but since /tv/ mods are garbage it won't be.

I'm so fucking tired of this meme.

>people don't understand how Akira is meant to express the existential uncertainty created by a nationwide disaster (that may be caused by war, nature, economics, or otherwise), and how this newfound uncertainty effects the young generation especially

Even a basic understanding of Japanese history and culture will let you "get" Akira not trying to sound like a hardcore weeb, its really not hard to make the connections if you do a little research into the culture and "spirit" of 80s Japan

>>80589526
3/4 of the stuff on the image is legitimately good, are you a CGDCT shitter?

>>80586384
Manga is a shit medium, get over it weeb virgin.

>>80589526
how do we cure the /v/ parasite? /pol/ managed to get them out so we really should be able
>>
>>80589813
you don't need to know any of that to understand Akira, it's super straightforward, except for the very end.
>>
>>80586235
one of the things that made the anime memorable for me was the world building and architecture.

I'd recommend you Metropolis which is cyberpunk and is similar to Akira when it comes to the vastness of the scenarios
>>
>>80589849
>3/4 of the stuff on the image is legitimately good

This is what /v/edditors actually believe.

>>80586235
Ninja scroll was really enjoyable back in the day still have it on vhs
>>
>>80586235
Akira is my favorite movie.
I hate that people always recommend GiTS, it's not similar at all.
There's really nothing like Akira out there.

Maybe you'll enjoy the works of Satoshi Kon.
Bonnie and Clyde (1967) was an inspiration for Katsuhiro Otomo when he wrote Akira.
