Akira 1988 - Blog Posts
Young Magazine June 6 1983 issue " MOTHERFUCKER- "
Redraw note: The front part of the bike was reshaped, and a line was added to Kaneda's raised hand.
don’t let the changing of profile pictures fool you i am an avid AKIRA fan and a loyal kaneda lover along with many other shows and medias
“i’m 24 and an akira fan” “really?! i’m 16!”
the suspiciously young leone who is anxious and nervous : (running away)
i’ve actually internet dived so far to find a gameplay of the sega genesis AKIRA game prototype. The programming was so advanced that it became the reason why it never became a game / would have glitches on dialogue (random characters or unreadable things would appear)
but overall for it being the 80s/90s when it came out it was like mad impressive. Some animations were smooth but game controls were too janky (from what i’ve seen) could have honestly been a good game if it had a better gaming console as support for the program
the soundtrack is in yt too. SURPRISINGLY the only song i did not really like was Kaneda’s theme but pixelated. It just feels weird to me (duh, because it turned the complex orchestra into a 4-bit music piece). It was so weird though, i like EVERYTHING ELSE but kaneda’s theme (the fact i love kaneda so much too, i even shocked myself with it. But i still love the soundtrack.)
a little something i want to add is that when you’re picking levels. you’re either kaneda or tetsuo (from what i’ve seen in gameplay) and i love the little “tetsuo!” it does. The “kaneda!” was obviously the english dub, which threw me off (i mostly watched akira in spanish dub or original Japanese dub)
now thinking about it, the game made me have a feeling that i preferred some sort of thing over than kaneda. Not cool, because he’s my favorite character of all time (the brainrot was so bad, i like to think we’re related or ‘he just like me!’ character. Not enough to say i’m a fiction kin, but like we share many similarities) but to all that aside, not even the game can make me stop loving kaneda as a character. Yes he might be somewhat an ass but okay he’s silly and he’s kaneda. What i DID love about the game was his smooth ass animation. In the sewers and in his bike. Literally the SEGA intro turned blue when kaneda rolled by and shot it with the laser beam he had to fight tetsuo. You might not see it, but it’s looping in my brain now.
man, this ain’t just a favorite anime anymore huh.
leo rants out
finding akira fans near my age is like finding gold in the middle of a forest
yamagata from akira?
i don’t really get this question but he’s a cool character. Besides from everyone saying people like Kaisuke, Tetsuo or Kaneda—Yamagata holds a cool place in my heart.(Every single character does, except the obvious ones that don’t like Nezu.) He likes to get what he wants and he just breaks rules because. Like every other character; i wish to study him more and understand him better before i say more about him.
maybe if you could specify what you’re asking? I really don’t understand the question. Sorry :(
sometimes i try to be nice but there are devils inside my head saying “speak the fuck up”
the two devils are you guessed it Kaneda Shotaro and Sakuragi Hanamichi
this isn’t just any piece of media i need it injected in my soul it’s my lifestyle now
it is so hard being in a fandom space full of adults cause then i feel like i don’t fit in. I love talking about Akira but i don’t want a 30 year old saying “what do YOU know about Akira? Ever saw it the day it released?” OH SHUT UP
my proudest piece of akira merch i own, i don’t know how to pair it but i really want to wear it again. when this was gifted to me on christmas my dad knew how crazy i was for it
I've been seeing a lot of Kaneda content but do you write for Kaisuke? If you do could write what it'd be like to date him?
I literally had to answer this ask as soon as I saw it, I love him!!
Arguably would make the best boyfriend out of the entire gang. No, I do not take any criticism on that statement. Not like he’s perfect or anything, but he’s quite well-rounded in comparison.
Kai is really sweet and attentive, especially in the beginning, I think. Would take you on semi-proper dates whenever he can afford it.
Buys you small gifts really often. Nothing extravagant, but if you mention how you really like this one soda he’ll have it for you next time you see him. Or if you offhandedly complain about your phone charger barely working, he’ll get you a new one. Stuff like that..
He’d always invite you to hang out with him when he’s working on one of the motorcycles. He’s over the moon if you’re interested (or act interested) and let him ramble about the logistics and function of the engine or whatever. You just think he’s cute when he gets excited.
Big, big fan of you wearing his clothes. His jacket, shirts, ties, whatever. Take it, it’s all yours. Is in love if you wear his clothes when you’re just out and about.
Not particularly jealous as a person, at least not outwardly. He trust you, and if anything, it’s other people he doesn’t trust!! Still likes to show people that you’re together if you’re out in public by holding your hand, or just by being close to you in general. He’s not super crazy about PDA tho, so don’t expect anything over the top.
Would like it if you tied his ties for him. Or, even better, if you learned how to tie them just for him lol
Kai is weirdly conflict avoidant when it comes to any potential issues in your relationship, so brining stuff like that up with him is absolute hell. He just avoids it all together. He might do well with a more confrontational person.
Would like it if you got along with his friends (mostly Yamagata tbh..)
Usually I just reblog, but this is a question that’s been burning in my head.
What were people’s first exposure to the Akira Slide *tm? The animation where the character skids their bike sideways with one foot close to the ground.
I know it’s been replicated countless times, but I am genuinely curious. I’ll go first, my earliest exposure to this homage was in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) theme song.
If you can think of any specific usages, please let me know
And here is kaneda! :3
Now, my special pretty boys are together :D

Poor boy, I've recently watched Akira and I feel bad for tetsuo, I wish he hadn't died :"(
Tetsuo is such a tragic villain, he had a sad past, a bad middle and a depressing ending. Like the edit said, he was always sad... :"(
You guys have no idea of how much I love this drawing, it's perfect. The colors, the style, the lines, the romantic tension between tetsuo and kaneda, everything about this drawing is perfect :3
Happy new year to all of you!! ^w^
I wanted to just write funny shit all over this but naturally it turned into me making it fucking emo
My special beautiful man <3
I love yamagata so much, he's my 2nd favorite character from Akira (^∇^)
happy birthday to the Yamagata!
That's exactly what I think about you, happy new year! :3
I love this drawing so much: the colors, the style, the lines, everything is perfect.

KANEDA!!!!!!
hi im alive
I have just watched Akira and all I can say is...
I'm in love with tetsuo. Out of all the characters in the movie, he is my favorite: I love his design, his personality, his inferiority complex, his clothing, everything about him I love it. The only thing I didn't liked it was the final he had, I wish he had lived at the end of the movie.. but besides that, I love him :3
He's my special pretty boy from now and on <3 💕💕💕💕
I finally changed my wallpaper, here it is:
I love you, tetsuo 💕💕💕
You are the best boy ever (≧∀≦)
Akira, アキラ by Otomo Katsuhiro.
This is perfect :3
Drunk and smoking
a choking rose back to be reborn, I want to hold you like you’re mine
I love it, tetsuo is the best :3
