my group made it to the planetarium and then surprised me by asking me to turn it off!JonB wrote:Tried La La Land, but gave up after the second song. There's actually some pretty impressive camerawork going on, but everything else about it was just irritating. Not for me (or the wife).

Not physically in the present day as he does in the manga. He's ascended. You see him in the past, sure. In the present day he's just organs in jars, and a psychic representation of himself at the end. The film was written by Otomo and basically covers the first volume an parts of the second before going off on is own path, the books have Akira as an actual kid alongside Kanea, Kei and Tetsuo.
