i finally got to see the 4k version - absolutely mind blowing. it's like seeing it for the first time. astonishing to think it was all done by hand

- Asian though - worried it be changed to Asian not Japanese. no insult there but the books/film are very cultural. Its sort of like Keana Reeves in Dracula!mugwart
- It'll be interesting to see what he does. If it happens, there's probably still a couple of years before it might even startPhanLo
- sort of hoping I get to work on this, purely see his processes. Dont ever want to see this but the books are epic and very cinematicmugwart
- That would be great to work on it.
Akira had a massive impact on me and as much as I like Taika, I doubt he'll get it right. But I'll still watch it.PhanLo - Agree entirely, love his films but I don't think he will, too much studio inputmugwart
- The only way to do this properly would be to do it in Japanese. But for the life of me I can't think of a single good live action Japanese movie after Kurosawa._niko
- I can rail off 20-30 amazing hong kong movies but Japanese movies escape me. Shit Even the Koreans have been kicking ass with the old boy/ms vengance movies_niko
- I'm thinking Battle Royal maybe? Ichi the Killer? I must me missing tons._niko

- you get the b&w or coloured version?inteliboy
- also wow on that artwork. Reminds me of the engineer pilot in Alien (before the mystery was ruined in the prequel).inteliboy
- I got the Black and White version but I downloaded the colour version a few years back.
Some good bits in the colour one https://www.zipcomic…PhanLo - same. colour one is cool though ruins otomo's line work.inteliboy
- Must have been a hard book to colour as it's so detailed. I do like it for picking out some parts, but I agree.PhanLo
