Akira:IMDBTheatrical TrailerRent: Amazon • Netflix DiscBuy: DVD • BluRayIn part two of our discussion of 1988’s anime classic Akira, we talk about what we liked about the original, and what we’d change in a remake. Specifically, what we would need to change to make a live action version of the film, while maintaining the tone and spirit of the original. We learn a lot about voice acting in anime, and do our best to scheme what the heck to do with the WTF-worthy ending of the original.02:09 – 02:49: Thanks to Modern Antics – check out Riddle Room!02:50 – 07:02: Listener recasting feedback, our winning choices from part one, announcement of next movie07:03 – 26:35: Remaking Akira as a live action film, how true to stay to the original source material, blending of mediums (animation, motion capture, etc.)Actors and Actresses DiscussedMichael PittMichael B.
