The Japanese media has been quick to note that Tokyo’s clinching of the 2020 Olympics was predicted by no less a classic Akira, with the 1988 movie’s 2019 Neo-Tokyo being in the run-up to a singularly ill-fated Olympics.
With lines from the movie saying “next year’s Olympics will see it becoming a park,” signs bearing the legend “Tokyo Olympic Construction Area” and a variety of sports facilities reduced to rubble in the course of the film.
Whilst an interesting coincidence, having failed dismally in its predictions of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo (although further earthquakes and TEPCO’s incompetence could yet change this) riven by biker gangs, Akira is hopefully not in much danger of becoming prophetically uncanny.
god… I will move there soon. great ! I will be right at the center of the apocalypse! Yay! “KANEEEEEDAAAAAAA!!!!!!!” I need to get a biking license then… e_e;
I wonder if that crazy ass Alex Jones picked up on this yet? because according to him The Dark Knight Rises predicted the “Sandy Hook Shooting”
Japan representatives will win every single medal out there using brothel tactics : they will forbid foreigners access to their premises.
I feel bad for the swimming competition part…what if the judges are from KyoAni?
They will disqualify anyone with as man name and has a penis under the swimsuit.
