Yes I do get it for the most part. If you read the manga you'll have an even better understanding of whats going on. I'll post it later but right now I have to get ready for work...so if someone else wants to post what they thought was going on till then go for it. ;D  |

well the beggining started off with the whole of japan blowing up but what you didnt know is that it was really a type of vortex created by akira which was compaired to the beggining of the big bang, creating a new dimension in itself.
the things i dont understand are the kids with the psychic powers and what exactly akira was, i know he was a kid but what the heck happaned to his organs.
i could understand that they were trying to create tetsuo as the new akira but failed misserebly and he turned into a mutant version of clayface.
i didnt understand the whole biker gang thing, you never see much of that.
i did understand that a girl got her shirt ripped off from the middle ;D ;D ;D, how come anime girls never wear bras, and what was the point in smashing her face after that.

I had to watch it twice to pick up all the fine points, but after that I understood it. The movie demands that you really pay attention to the little things. (like an offhand comment or something visually) It's the little details like this that make it one of my favorites.

It's not really as hard to follow as people make out, it's just very... Japanese. One bit that really freaked me out was Tetsuo's metamorphosis at the end. My sister was convinced I was watching a horror movie.

the whole part when his girlfriend was crushed inside his body was sick.
the way he said "she's inside of me, i can feel it, whats going on" its almost like he's having sex or something isnt it
