Akira Rebirth discussion

[Gexistentialist]

I love Japanese anime, ever since I watched Toonami as a little kid and stayed up past my bedtime when Adult Swim actually had watchable stuff instead of glorified stoner material. One franchise has always intrigued me: Akira, the brainchild (no pun intended) of Katsuhiro Otomo. It has practically ever thing you could ever want in an anime/manga. Great action? Check. Character development? Check. Gratuitous violence? Hell yes. I have a couple of action figures from the McFarlane line, including a strange, intimidating-looking little boy resting on a throne? That boy is the titular character, Akira, and in my opinion, he's quite possibly the poster child for Underused Badass Potential. I just feel that Otomo could have done so much better things characterwise with him rather than use him as a combination Chekhov's child/dude in distress. What I'm about to propose is going to cause a lot, and I mean A LOT, of controversy. What if I wrote a reimagining, a "revisionist fanfic" of sorts, where Akira booted Kaneda out of the protagonist chair? I'd have to drastically retool the plot, but hey, wishful thinking.

Are you ever going to post a story up on here? Because all you have been doing is just posting topics of just an idea that you could have put on one of your older disscussion board and what you have been doing with all this random idea topic stuff is just spam.

Huh? Where on earth did this come from? Nice beginning, btw.... Being an Akira fan, I can already foresee great things to come...

A kidnapping? Holy Sushi eaters, Batman! This is gonna be good.

[Gexistentialist]

It's not that it is a kidnapping... It's who is being kidnapped.

[King Caesar]

Idk my Akira stuff, so I don't know who, but if its the President of the World, you sir, need to give me one a-cookie.
