i was just told by a friend of mine that supposedly there is a sequil to the Akira movie, i find this hard to believe, but she is certain that it exists. Now becuase I'm lazy, and i dont want to seriously look for it, becuase ive never seen it, but she sure as hell thinks that it exists and that her "homedog[she smokes alot]" has a copy of it on DVD, but i highly doubt it, so i was hoping someone might know for sure, maybe i just need a second opinion.

shes called homedog because she smokes alot?
I dunno what she was smoking but its some seriously triped out shit, Akira sequal no, Ghost in the Shell sequal yes, she could have them mistaken.

ok, i was pretty sure there wasnt a sequal, but i just had to check, i didnt think there was much room for a sequil anyways, although, if it was accurate to the manga thered be like 6 of em

That, and it'd make no sense. The end of the movie IS the end of the manga. Tetsuo going all batshit-insane and becoming a blob. It's just that they skipped volumes 3, 4 and 5 of the manga and went from vol 3 into volume 6. They took what happens in volume 2 of the manga with Akira destroying the city, and changed it so that it also included tetsuo becoming huge. So technically, the movie covers the whole manga, it just omits the whole plot of volumes 3, 4, and 5 where...

akira manga spoilers wrote: ...Akira and Tetsuo form a nation called the New Tokyo Empire, and have tons of followers, and then there's an oracle who has her own followers, and the battle between them rages in a post-apocalyptic environment. There's really come memorable characters and great scenes, but iot would make the movie WAY too frickin' long. Plus Kaneda is dead for quite abit of it. He comes back later miraculously, but he's gone for most of it.

Yea, it's sad that they left out so much of the manga but I understand that they had to to save time. But anyone who has only seen the movie should try to get ahold of the manga, it's an excelent read.

but a sequil would be really cool, but what about?

This is a bit unrelated, but thought this was still cool to show.
