Eva x Akira: “Shinji Never Looked So Cool!”

akira-eva

Neon Genesis Evangelion godfather Yoshiyuki Sadamoto‘s crossover cover illustration for the latest issue of a humble anime business rag has been attracting some attention from fans of both franchises.

Unfortunately the connection appers only to be the Akira-predicted 2020 Olympics rather than any more substantive tie-up – although fans can hope.

    This brings up a good question. When is Japan going to modernize Akira by moe'ing it up?

    You don't touch a classic like Akira. Ever.

    Didn´t like the movie but I hope that they´d do a series that is true to the manga.

    i agree.Although the anime is groundbreaking,it needs to be a manga-based anime to explain some loose ends.

    Gainax is made up of self-loathing Japanese neckbeards who hate their fans because they remind them of themselves. Haven't you figured this out yet?

    Evangelion could have been the best anime ever if it didn't have Shinji and Kaworu.

    Evangelion could have been the best anime ever if fans had shut the hell up and let the man create his story, instead all their bitching forced him to fuck it up.

    Evangelion could have been the best anime ever if the fandom didn't have those goddamn pain in the ass Shinji/Kaworu fuckjoshits.

    Akira is what shinji should have been in Evangelion. Not the weak willed, fap on your unconscious face freak.

    Comment by Anonymous

    So, Shinji should have been dissected years before the start of the show, with the pieces stored in deep freeze, and allowed less than a minute of screen time?

    I like how they use to let mangaka have their own style. Now it just seems like everything in each genre looks the same with very few exceptions.

    We wouldn't know over here, the only manga techniques we can learn here are taught by wannabes that have never set foot in Japan, looks like shit. Those "learn to draw anime" books are only for emo teens so they can pretend they are artists on their notebook covers

    Have not seen that at all in manga. Definitely somewhat apparent in anime studios like JC Staff and Kyoani... no doubt from the same designers working on new things.

    There's always some stylistic convention to a genre, but it's not as if you can't tell the artist right away by glancing at a random panel most of the time.

    Kaneda is such a more enjoyable chara than Shinj, it's not even funny.

    Yeah, Shinji "looking cool" doesn't fix that winy bitch personality of his. His dad sets him up with 3 hot chicks and a Mecha, but he still hates him over some bullshit about his mother that died when he was too young to have a real attachment to her.

    So Erranty, I assume you don't know Shinji's Super Robot Wars @ version, yes?
    He slapped Jesus Kira Yamoto in his face in a "Get a hold of yourself moment".
    The @ numbers made out of Shinji a real badass.
    He even kicks the life of his ****ing dad out, which pilots a copy of Eva-01.

    Shinji jerks off to unconscious girls in hospitals, fantasizes about older women and is too much of a faggot to actually BE a man.

    Kaneda is a badass motorcycle cyberpunk who just doesn't give a fuck about anything but his nakama. If he were American he would be an "og ghetto nigga", but with a badass 2019 custom motorcycle instead of a 1964 tricked out impala.

    So that postes is a huge FUCK YOU to anyone who is a fan of Akira... And so I say fuck you too.

    Yikes you guys are still at it. At this point, I already gave up any sort of criticism with Shinji's character. As far as I know with Shinji with him and his Dad, Gendo's still a jacka** in certain ways. But hey, its a story man, you gotta deal with what you see on the screen.

    Nice, but after Fukushima the Akira scenary is nothing in comparison.

    Fukushima dropped 100,000x more highly radioactive material into the ocean than Chernobyl! 50% of ocean is already DEAD ! We'll be next.

    Distance to the ocean:

    Chernobyl: 1200 miles (2000 km)
    Fukushima: 10 miles (13 km)

    I think you could up that to an infinite amount of times more, cause it's pretty safe to say Chernobyl didn't even make it to the ocean directly.

    Also, I'd probably go with Hiroshima in the future, since it's actually a coastal city.
