Unlike the nightmarish prospect of a live-action movie, though, this clip—called Akira Awaken—is strictly traditional, mostly opting to take shots and images from the 1988 anime film and redo them with a modern touch.
Artists Ash Thorp and Zaoeyo, big fans of Akira, have made this minute-long trailer that’s basically a tribute to the animated classic.
If someone wants to do something new with Akira then I am mostly okay with that.
While I haven’t seen the new live-action Ghost in the Shell, when it comes to Akira I have already finished the original manga and my own anime version too.
