    • In part two of our discussion of 1988’s anime classic Akira, we talk about what we liked about the original, and what we’d change in a remake. Specifically, what we would need to change to make a live action version of the film, while maintaining the tone and spirit of the original. We learn a lot about voice acting in anime, and do our best to scheme what the heck to do with the WTF-worthy ending of the original.

    • 00:00 – 02:08: Intro, and whether the hosts are more of a Neo or a Morpheus
    • 02:09 – 02:49: Thanks to Modern Antics – check out Riddle Room!
    • 02:50 – 07:02: Listener recasting feedback, our winning choices from part one, announcement of next movie
    • 07:03 – 26:35: Remaking Akira as a live action film, how true to stay to the original source material, blending of mediums (animation, motion capture, etc.)
    • 26:36 – 32:18: Vocal performances in the original (and anime in general), Eastern vs. Western presentation of thematic elements
    • 32:19 – 38:57: Some serious WTF statements/questions about the ending of the original, and the tendency for anime to go superdeformed. What on earth could we do to the ending in a live action remake? We say the phrase ‘meat baby’ more than anyone else in the history of ever.
    • 38:58 – 41:29: Under the Influence – movies that inspired, or were inspired by, Akira.
    • 41:30 – 42:31: Outro
