So…apparently they’re making a live-action Akira?

My brain just keeps whimpering and chanting “nonononononononono.” I. Okay, I’m aware that this is probably just cause for taking away all my anime, but, um. I hate Akira. LOATHE. I spent 95% of it trapped in some sort of fugue state, and then there was 2% gross and 1.5% WTF? and then the last 1.5% was ending credits. I’m not trying to be mean, either, I think about the movie, and that’s what I remember. Bored grey fog. Ew. Huh? Credits. And then disgust and annoyance that I got tricked into watching that bullshit, and over time, rage and more disgust as I realized that I AM THE ONLY ANIME FAN EVER TO HATE AKIRA, WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE.

Although, on the upside? The live-action version will probably change that.
