Why do normalfags jerk off the film when it's just a shitty retelling of the first three volumes? Beyond the animation the film is inferior to the manga and barely makes any sense.

Because anime is: action

>Why do normalfags
there's your answer

Because normalfags have love attention span and need ADHD effects and moving pictures so their brains don't fall asleep

Film has great animation and the sound overall is great.
Story is a butchered mess but they tie it together enough to leave people impressed. It's probably one of the more accessible neo-tokyo sort of stories, like gits is good but not for normies

It fits parts of the story into a compact film-length package with a satisfying ending. Film adaptations don't need to be word-for-word retellings of the source material.

Akira turned up on normal TV in the 90s so people actually saw it. It's pretty much the only anime where I know people that have seen it because of that.
Compared to that no-one was going out of their way to buy manga so few would know whether it's a good adaptation or not.

normalfags don't read manga outside of maybe a few popular shonen series

both the manga and anime are boring, but due to their influence and pretty visuals people praise it.

maybe because they haven't read the manga? have you thought about that?

What about it doesn't make sense? It's just an alternate version of the story which is incredibly common in the anime industry.

I prefer the film being its own separate thing. A 1:1 adaptation would be a rushed mess.

Ops you posted the wrong picture, here let me fix that for you.

>What about it doesn't make sense?
People like OP want philosophical and pseudo-science bullshit be explained in an essay instead of a few sentences, even though both are saying the exact same thing. It makes them feel smart if they can say "I read through the entire essay!"

Anime > Manga

Deal with it.

Based

You can ask the same thing about pretty much any anime adaptation. Normalfags flock to any anime and even without reading the manga will shit on it and say that the anime is superior just because it's easier to consume.

Because the first three volumes of Akira have pure action and no plot while the Akira adaptation has actual plot. Akira volumes 4 and 5 at least have plot but then volume 6 becomes pure explosions again. To be honest the only good thing Otomo has done is Domu, fireball and his other short manga really juvenile and lacking, he's awful at scripting but is lucky he has such a likable and cool visual style.

You must be one of those retarded folk that the anime caters to.

>>being a sakugafag
>a bad thing
Seriously you're a fucking retard beyond salvation. If an animated film has great animation, great sound, great designs, and a somewhat decent plot, of course it'll be a hit.

Otomo is just a shit writer lol
Have you read any of his short story anthologies? The guy is garbage. He's a better idea man which is why his anime is so much better.
Naw I bet you are a zoomer who only watches seasonal anime and the only pre-2000 anime/manga he has experienced are ghibli films/akira/gits and maybe Dragon Ball Z.

Because you;re a child and you have zero understanding of how things were when it came out.

>He's a better idea man which is why his anime is so much better
But he was heavily involved with the anime, user. It wasn't just people licensing the manga and making something. People even use this fact to try and counter if you shit on the anime by saying that the mangaka was part of the whole process like it matters at all. I'm actually pretty interested in how the new Akira anime is going to turn out. I expect tons of complaining from sakugashitters even if it ends up being better outside of its art/animation.

>Naw I bet you are a zoomer who only watches seasonal anime and the only pre-2000 anime/manga he has experienced are ghibli films/akira/gits and maybe Dragon Ball Z.
Well you're wrong. I haven't even bothered with anything GITS outside of the manga because I didn't like it. But of course you're not going to believe me.

"A good story can save poor animation, where good animation cannot save a poor story.”

First "mature animation" they saw. The rest followed the trend. Not as hard as with ghibli products tho that you *must* enjoy because it's art.

Otomo is a genius artist, but yes, not a very good writer. I wish he worked with a great writer in his prime.

Getting mixed messages bros, how should I feel about Akira and Otomo? Not sure what the correct opinion is suppose to be.

Don't worry. Anime remake is in works!

When's this coming out?

Form your own, NPC

Because muhh motorbike side-parking.

I have seen this thread posted about a hundred times over the years and never once has anyone actually explained, or given a single example as to how to movies story is butchered. At least give a reason why you don't like it, or why you prefer the manga over the anime.
