AKIRA

[Magnus9]

MAn I have the urge to watch this movie again. Its one of my favs but I dont have a VCR in my aprtment and I lost my tape anyway(IDIOT!!) I wish they would re-release it on DVD but NOOOOOOOO Streamline is out of business. THE COWS!! Does anybody know if someone else is going to pick up the rights to rerelease it? I heard there is a japanese and even a german DVD version but theres no english on any of them. :(

Akira DVD would be pretty darn coolies ^^ I used to have the tape somewhere but, uhh, dunno where the heck it is now... It was a good anime movie too!

I heard that Pioneer is rereleasing Akira on DVD and VHS.

The movie is supposed to have a new and better dubb too.

[Magnus9]

NOOOOOO!!! They cant change the dub!! Actually I would like to see it with subtitles. I heard that they may rerealease it to the big screen before it goes to DVD. I HOPE I HOPE I HOPE I HOPE!!

[Rulakir]

The dub is already good. Why do they have to change it? Then again, the new dub will be good to Pioneer's standards but will really suck to ours. It is better to rerelease the movie the way it is now than to change it.

Has anybody ever seen the subtitled version?? I was wondering if it was better than the DUB. Wasnt it released in theaters before??

[Drizzten]

I hope whoever does the transfer takes their precious time and makes it PERFECT. The sound better be dead-on as well. I'd like a remastered 5.1 English, and a clean 2.0 Japanese Stereo track.

Hell yeah! If they ruin this movie im going to have ta go on a rampage and kill all the COWS! COWS SUCK!!!!

It was released in theatres when it came out back in, what, 1989? I saw it in an arthouse type theatre, and it was subtitled -- with the original soundtrack, which is DOPE (:)).

I have not actually seen the Dub, but I hear two things: 1. the voices are (suprizingly for a dub) pretty good. 2. the soundtrack is modified and not as good as the original.

Sad thing is, I actually have the dub.... just haven't watched it.... :)

The DUB is good but I dont know about the soundtrack because Ive never heard the original and I wish I could see the version u saw. :( Oh well Ill just have to stick with my mangas for now I guess
