Edit:

I owned the German DVD back in Germany but abandoned it when I moved to OZ.

Not quite like that, I'm afraid. Akira is totally not kawaii safe, one of the reasons it's my favorite manga of all time.

See, ^^ ain't gonna fit there. And what's in this Special Edition, Dred?

Did they ever do a DVD edition with the original American voice actors? I always thought they were FAR superior. Then again I guess I'm kind of a philistine for not watching the Jananese with subbys on but sometimes a guy gets nastalgic for his childhood, you know?

Well sometimes I prefer Japanese with subtitles. Got this 'real thing' feeling to it. Even if the translation is mediocre, you can make yourself a better picture of a situation than with dodgy nonemotional dubbing.

Aren't you schweinehunde in the least ashamed of yourselves?

Meh, if you get the real thing with professionnels subtitles, it's alright, but half the time they're totally shitty.

I bought this Kurosawa 7 DVDs set on ebay, and of course it's all in jap with subs; you can't make out shit.

I watched Tetsuo an Tetsuo 2. Didn't like them. Too Asia-Artsy.

Haven't seen the second, but the first one is pure madness. Delightful.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person on Earth who hasn't seen Akira. Is it overhyped?

The manga is much better.

Subhuman, what the hell have you been doing? Get a copy of The Road and Akira and enjoy life while it's still here. The movie is incredible. Anime is boring, strange, and totally unattractive to me but just on a level of holy shit! animation-wise you have to see the movie. And the soundtrack is great too. A really fun movie all around for anyone who considers themselves a movie fan.

and who the fuck cares what it is compared to the manga?! Are we just trying to out-nerd eachother here? Look I'm the bigger nerd, I read the manga, you just watched the movie you illiterate fools!!! The movie also isn't as good as a nice batch o weed but who the fuck cares?!?

It's... a special anime. I guess that about sums it up.
