I don't normally have a lot of empathy for military men in film but the Colonel in #Akira is something I can't help liking; he sometimes seems like the only clear-headed man in any sort of position of power, and he's sincere in his struggle to manage the terrifying risks. ~Chara
and even though he's a military man, he seems to understand that his unusual charges—the experimental subjects, the ESPer children—are best managed with kindness and a delicate touch. but then...Tetsuo happens, and he refuses to be *managed* at all.

~Chara
it amuses me that the Colonel *is* the sort of person that the @elonmusk / @DavidSacks / @realDonaldTrump crowd imagines _they_ would be, when the time came—effortlessly takes charge, brushing aside the men sent to arrest him, and doing what he regards as his duty.

Chara cameo in _Akira_ (sitting just to the left and just above center) Image
we interrupted ourselves, to watch a movie on a friend's stream. got about this far: Tetsuo having a difficult time with his spiritual awakening. ~Chara ImageImage
one of the aspects of _Akira_ that's barely explained even in the manga: what was going on with "The Project" *before* Akira? all the numbered experimental subjects we ever see are fairly high in number; Lady Miyako, who gives us what little info we get, is No. 19.

12 de Octubre! Hoy es el aniversario de #SatoshiKon, el famosísimo director de anime. Una persona que se fue demasiado pronto pero que nos dejó unas obras de arte tremendas, hilo va! ImageImage
Su filmografía es muy breve, pero muy reconocida. En primer lugar tenemos #PerfectBlue, del año 1997. Un trhiller psicológico, una historia acerca de la industria de las idols, no digo más!

Siguiente película! #MillenniumActress, en 2001. La película nos presenta a Chiyoko Fujiwara, una actriz famosa que de repente desapareció. Años más tarde uno de sus admiradores está realizando un documental acerca de ella. Cuando se conocen, este le muestra una llave que Image

Hora del #cine 😎 Sin duda alguna a la gente que diseña #QB el lugar que más les gusta es el barrio chino porque les recuerda a #bladerunner supongo que no se cortan en hacerle un homenaje directo 😍pero vamos analizar aspectos de su importancia que igual no sabéis aún🥸. Hilo
Cuando camino por QB con las gafas de RV es uno de los lugares más intensos ¿Pero que lo hace tan distinguible? (aunque este concepto de “barrio chino desolado” realmente se plasma con la fallida peli posterior Black Rain (1989) también de Ridley Scott )
Parece un sitio así como turbio y mucho vicio😎 que nos traslada a las novelas de Willian Gibson. Pero realmente el concepto fotográfico de Black Rain es a su vez tomado de la película experimental Koyaanisqatsi / (1982) (mismo año que Blade Runner)

L’un des rares points positifs de 2020, c’était la sortie 4K de ce chef d’œuvre grâce à @AmelEUROZOOM, avec un beau partenariat sur la sortie salles. Après le Hors-série @Rockyramacrue, ce fut un vrai bonheur et accomplissement personnel. More to come in a little while.🤞 #AKIRA Image

So I'm intending to do a post/pick a day of art I've bought or commissioned from an artist hopefully along with @chiefy2shoes & @seddonism
Day 1 is #hellboy by the great @duncanfegredo This started a theme of characters eating ice cream, I've not got too many in this theme though Image
Day #2 of sketches/commissions posts of art that I've got over the years. Continuing the theme of characters with #icecream here is #thegoon by the amazing Eric Powell @goonguy done at @ThoughtBubbleUK in Leeds. #ComicCon #commissions #comics #goon @chiefy2shoes @seddonism Image
Day #3 of art/commissions bought over the years. Baroness eating an ice cream by @RachaelAtWork. Think this was my final "character eating an ice cream" so not many in that theme, need to do more @chiefy2shoes @seddonism @Talking_Joe @TheFullForce #GIJoe #Baroness #comicart Image

Alright, let's take a closer look at some of these pencil tests from Akira! Look at this amazing tracking shot! That tunnel! I bet a lot of folks assume this was 3D CGI but NOPE. It was hand drawn!
#Akira #Akira30 #アキラ #PencilTest #2DAnimation #Sakuga
This is such a complex shot. Everything is in motion and shifting in proper perspective so dynamically. The sense of speed and movement are incredible. This isn't a dry technical exercise either. Every frame is full of VITALITY!
#Akira #Akira30 #アキラ
Look at those exquisitely drawn speed lines in the pencil test that didn't even make it into the final film! They probably would have drawn too much attention to themselves if they were inked, but you can still FEEL them in the finished shot!
