Still not sold on this but her eyes look at lot less distracting than the earlier trailers. I assume they scaled them back a bit.

I'll probably peep it at some point.

Fred.
They 100% scaled back the eyes. It was nightmare fuel before.

Not going to watch this in theaters but def will drink a beer and watch it when it's available for home media.

It's better than Akira and Akira already had a movie
Alita had 2 OVAs that I would bet money are better than this will be. Not a feature film by any means, but no big goofy ass CGEyes or PG-13 rating either

On the subject of the rating again, I haven't read that shyt in a decade, but I can't imagine how they will have PG-13 representations of: the first bad guy eating brains, the organ and spine stealing, Hugo getting fukkED UP, Deathball or whatever it's called, that one hunter killing his bytch and getting ripped to shreds by the dogs, Desty Nova's fukked up experiments, that fukked up hunter coming back with the Berserker body and killing errybody, etc
and that's just the shyt I remember I could see the first movie getting to

They'll probably just cut all that out the movie or tell but not show it, which the latter isn't great story telling. I don't think Desty Nova is in the movie anyway, the movie is only covering the first 3 volumes with motorball. If it succeeds, I heard it will get a sequel. Hopefully that will be rated r

Oh, thank you all knowing anime guru.


Akira is better to me and I think a little more known here in the US. People been asking for a live action Akira for years, nobody asked for this :yeshrug:

I think a live action akira would be ridiculously hard to pull off and it being well received would be a pipe dream. Think about it

What are akira (anime movie)'s flaws? What are its strengths?

The movies main challenge was that they had to adapt a full manga series which is fairly long into a 2 hour experience. People may not catch everything that happens in 1 sit through since they had to keep things trucking along. A lot of manga stuff had to be cut. They cant do what a lot of movie adaptations do and cover 1 manga arc as it wouldn't work in akira. Live action wont help this since the same time to work with

What made the animated movie big was the presentation value, animation quality, and themes of the movie were groundbreaking at the time and greatly impacted anime after it. A retelling could easily mess up the themes and the other strengths would also be gone.
