WORD OF THE DAY! 5/24/14!

THE AKIRA PROJECT (FAN TRAILER!)

Neo Tokyo [nee-oh-toh-kee-yoh]

noun

1. Anime.  In the manga and anime film, Akira, the city of Tokyo was destroyed by an apparent atomic bomb explosion on Dec 6th of 1982 that sets off World War III. By 2019, Neo Tokyo is a new city built on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay that is gripped by drug crime, anti-government terrorism and gang violence.

EX. Neo Tokyo never looked better than in this amazing fan trailer that serves as an homage to perhaps the most influential anime film of all time. Seriously, if we got an Akira film with these sorts of production qualities (Zach Snyder would honestly be a director capable of pulling off such a vision-- just look at his film adaptation of The Watchmen), I would be happy to pay to see that in IMAX.

BARTKIRA!

WTF WED! DORAEMON 2020: THE WIZARD HORSE AND THE CUTSIE-POOPS!

DORAEMON @ THE 2020 NEO-TOKYO OLYMPICS!

Doraemon is probably the most beloved characters in the history of manga and his credentials have allowed him to one up Pokémon, the franchise that just became the mascots for Japan's national soccer team, by becoming the ambassador for Tokyo's 2020 Summer Olympics bid. The funny thing about Tokyo getting the 2020 Olympics is that the 1988 anime film, Akira, predicted that they would host the Olympics...in Neo-Tokyo and, int he film, the climax takes place at the stadium. This all leads up to a hilarious and weird mash-up of two very different subjects.

WIZARD HORSE!

When equestrian magic meets human technology, apparently hijinks ensue in the newest cartoon from the fellas who brought you Charlie the Unicorn.

BEAR AND BUNNY BOOY <3 !

Who is driving? Oh my god, Bear is driving?! How can that be?!
