i will always miss that one canonical kaneda playlist that really reminded me of him and was deleted for no reason 💔
my friend on lunch said he was getting too many tetsuo covers lately and i visibly began to panic and literally said “TETSUO? AS IN TETSUO SHIMA FROM THE 1988 MOVIE AKIRA?”
he meant kasane teto
i feel anyone that watched akira also is a fan of godzilla and i feel i’m missing out
if a sports anime has a rivalry that ain’t no damn rivalry
a normal way to think about your self-proclaimed rival
^^ the final panel being rukawa hiding in the bushes outside the court watching him as he waits for him to leave so he can practice
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
holy SMOKES my small rushed fic got a bit of love yay!
i can’t be nonchalant in this app anymore i WILL panic when i do an anon ask and make a fool of myself (the blog will find it okay it’s just me making a show)
listen guys my user might be kaneda lover and he can be freaky in the movie/manga but whenever i see a sexual post towards him i get the absolute biggest ick and my night is ruined
i just realized i had a whole movie, song, and a css file downloaded in my drive holy moly
just became moots of amazing people and a cool account liked my post life is so amazing
