I've been watching anime for 20 years, and I can honestly say watching this edit was one of my top 5 experiences watching anime. It's a masterpiece. I'm an editor myself and I've literally watched this dozens of times and studied your technique.
@@kill3rbamb146 It was one of the most intense things I've ever experienced. It was followed up by Perturbator - Death Squad and I literally couldn't take anymore after about 5 of these type of songs. Can't remember if I was tripping on acid or DXM (and weed) at the time, but I was descended to a hell-like realm and I didn't even realise what was happening for a while. I felt a serious sense of dread. It was either first time DXM 420mg or over 500 mics of acid and I wasn't really familiar with any of these songs yet.
No need to sorry about quality, Akira is one master piece of all time. It will work in any quality. Great music + great movie = badass clip. Masterly well done! Cheers
The best had drawn anime on the planet! It still out does all the blue hair garbage anime that these kids claim to be fans of today. Akira forever tops all their trash. Thanks
I still remember being a kid seeing this playing on some old tv in the 90s at a flea market and being completely hooked on it. It was nothing like anything I saw in western animation. Exotic Japanese comics, and anime were definitely another world. By comparison Japanese video games like Super Metroid had music and art styles absent from anywhere else. I guess more investment went into video games and they were targeted more to a foreign market, still they were masterpieces. It's hard to tell if good work like this has become rare or if I have just become over stimulated with flashy new media of all kinds around me.
3:00 I love how the song and the edit works very well.It's so peaceful showing a kid playing football and then it goes straight to how violence human can be at 3:05 Really makes me wanna watch Akira
No matter how many times I watch it, the part that excites me the most is the small scene at 2:16 where the synth beat matches the gunfire. Not only is it perfect, but I feel the animators did a bang-up job getting the animation right. The different looks to the muzzle flash set it apart from a lot of the animation I've seen in other animés. Patlabor is another one that really got it right.
There is no song ever created that can beat this! Im sad it's over now, and that I'll never experience it for the first time ever again, it was so intense!
Just like they're ruining Ghost in the Shell. I don't give a fuck about what's in that movie, the posters themselves made me wanna hang the creating team with their guts.
God fucking dammit this is fucking quality. Probably one of the best AMVs of all time. Perturbator is fucking great, Akira is great, and your montage is great. Legendary shit, deserves to be displayed somewhere 24/7
One of the greatest animes ever, saw it as a kid and it blew my mind. Never seen a cartoon like it then or since. It's a a masterpiece and holds up even today.
There must be something broken in my head, to the point of no repair, but those violent scenes arouse me like hell. Whenever I see those bodies getting maimed by the machinegun I'm like: "oh man, this is so good"
Well, while it certainly doesn't arouse me, it does get the adrenaline pumping. For some reason I enjoy watching violent action scenes (not real life though, it's real people we're talking about then and I won't have that) in videogames or films. Machineguns shredding, missiles blowing up, lasers and plasma incinerating, chainsaws&co slicing messily, hydraulic fists crushing... Apparenly I find some beauty on destruction. Or I'm just messed up. But only on action scenes, in combat between opponents. Harming innocents&defenseless and torture are too inmoral for me.
I caught a glimpse of this movie as a child, my babysitter and cousin was watching it. I had no business being there but my cool cuz let me watch a bunch before I fell asleep or was put to bed. That was 30 years ago. One of my very early memories was that red motorbike. I think it gave me a unique perspective
What i love about these kind of movies, is that they show a distopic, terrible -cyberpunk, where most of us would not conceive life as possible. We can see those details in the fiction, yet we cannot see them in our own reality. Even worse, we already live in an unliveable reality.
It was good up until the 2000's where they worked more and were paid less. Anime has become bad overtime sadly. But truly the beginnings were the golden times.
@@mauz791 Japanese economy was like the 2nd biggest on the planet before their economic bubble burst. An average Japanese was earning more than an average American and posting higher economic growth rates quarterly then America, everyone thought Japan would be the biggest economy of the planet in few years, it's companies and stock market was performing better and was an industrial powerhouse at that time before China all the great anime and movies in late 1980' and early 90's had huge bubble money budget. Now they don't have that grand budget these days compared to that time when they were out-spending even compared to American Hollywood at that time.
Clicked your video to listen to a Perturbator track I never listened to before, started seeing the beautiful animations, watched the movie I never even heard of before, and was not disappointed. Thanks for making this excellent video and introducing me to a great movie.

ok so I've listened to this so many times now and I literally can't not listen to it without watching it either... like my eyes can't look away the editing is so god like
Watching this has made me realize that this movie's violence is incredible and over the top. I've watched this movie so many times - but I never really absorbed the violence in this way. Wow! xD I'll have to give this another watch and see how I feel about it. :)
Back in 2015 I met Johnny Bosh, the voice of Kaneda, and I was dressed as Tetsuo. I had no idea he did the voice at the time. I'm running around with a heavy mutated arm screaming, Kaneda! Help Me! He starts laughing thinking I knew. I only knew he was the second black power ranger and Trunks.
Thanks to this videoclip, i watched Akira for the first time.

The name of the song is also quote from the movie "From Beyond".
Number1Paixths Mmmm this song could had used some quotes from alien or predator movies.

Actually, I think you're right. I remember that being said in the first Terminator now.

Note to self: "Watch Akira again."
When you aren't watching Akira - Akira watches you.

The worst part of Akira is knowing you will never experience anything that awesome ever again.
...5 minutes later...
Play.
Yeah, you're wrong.
right!!!!! even worse is being exposed to it at the age of 8 AND GETTING IT!
3:00 I love how the song and the edit works very well.It's so peaceful showing a kid playing football and then it goes straight to how violence human can be at 3:05
Really makes me wanna watch Akira
Hands down the best Akira AMV out there.
Just watched Akira for the first time… coming back to this afterwards makes it hit that much harder. Well done

I watched Akira in the early 2000's before 2005.
There is no song ever created that can beat this! Im sad it's over now, and that I'll never experience it for the first time ever again, it was so intense!
Brutally spectacular. Best AMV I've ever seen.
Dude. The editing on this is amazing! Great job!
Artful use of a classic. This is the best Akira AMV I've seen since Dudu productions.
This just, factually, needs to be the trailer tune for a cyberpunk movie some day
They should use it for the Hollywood remake of Akira.
Robert N. Hollywood would ruin Akira
Just like they're ruining Ghost in the Shell.

Good
Never having seen Akira before, I was completely stunned for half of the entire video. I've never felt such amazement and fear at the same time.
Akira's power lives in each of us. The main thing is to steer it correctly. This is what this movie teaches
P.S. one of the greatest videoclip ever!)
This is a masterpiece. Sick edit man. I'm legit blown away at how in sync this is.
It can only be described as "intense, gritty and highly arousing"
There must be something broken in my head, to the point of no repair, but those violent scenes arouse me like hell.
Whenever I see those bodies getting maimed by the machinegun I'm like: "oh man, this is so good"
Well, while it certainly doesn't arouse me, it does get the adrenaline pumping.

Holy shit Kaname Locon.
I’d say horrifying, gritty, and infinitely trippy.
I don’t care if this comment was from 6 years ago but who in the right mind sees Akira as arousing?
Best Akira AMV I've seen
That was brilliant! Akira and Perturbator; two very excellent things!

That was 30 years ago. One of my very early memories was that red motorbike. I think it gave me a unique perspective
The tune match perfectly well with the film's tone.
Actually one of the best fan edits I've ever seen. I've rewatched this so many times
I've known this song for quite some time but jesus I forgot how ruthlessly heavy it is. Also righteous editing.
From now on, whenever I try to convince people to watch this movie, THIS is what I'll show them! Amazing job!!!
May the God Of Retro keep you in his warm embrace, and may we all reunite in The Source.
3:58 onwards is just so pogged up. Immense track. Great video too, I, like seemingly most, need to watch Akira again.

Anime and a synthwave. What amazing times we humans live in
this is literally the best amv of all time. the song and visuals are all so perfectly timed it makes for an amazing experience everytime i rewatch it
This is so cool!
The daunting music definitely adds an ominous presence to the anime!
I'm working on my own Akira music video - almost finished too!
Already watch this 1739926 times. And still it gives me chills in all my body. God what a great video and song!!
Akira and Jin Roh will always have a special place in my heart c:
