Both are some of my favorite pieces of media ever created

Ah, I see you're a person of culture as well!

I never did read the AKIRA manga

I wholeheartedly recommend reading the manga. While the anime certainly is outstanding and legendary on its own, it only features the beginning of the actual full story arc, that is featured in the manga. I would go as far as calling the anime an intro/teaser for the manga, which takes the story to a whole new scale. I still remember reading it in 1993 as a twelve year old and how it pulled me in, enjoy!

Interesting picture! Did you know that the motorcycle gang, which Kaneda leads at the beginning of AKIRA and of course also their rivals, the Clowns, were inspired by Bosozoku, which are a long established underground gang culture in Japan? They have a very unique way of "tuning" their motorbikes, are into the culture primarily for companionship and tuning, while crime is only a secondary thing some of them do on the side. Nonetheless, the Yakuza regularly recruits fresh muscle from Bosozoku gangs. Its a deep rabbit hole! :)

Ich freue mich für dich! Hoffentlich finde ich auch irgendwann ein Präparat das für mich funktioniert und nicht nur die ersten paar Tage so wirkt wie es soll und dann dafür sorgt das es mir schlechter geht als ohne...

Fühle ich zu hundert Prozent. Was du gemacht hast ist weder weinerlich, noch pathetisch, Brudi. Wir haben uns lediglich Wege gesucht um mit der schweren Situation -für die wir nichts können- irgendwie umzugehen, etwas anderes blieb uns ja auch gar nicht übrig. Sehr wichtig war für mich die Erkenntnis, dass all die Menschen die mir jahrelang wahlweise Dummheit, Faulheit oder Unwillen vorgeworfen haben unrecht hatten :)

"Konzentrier dich doch einfach mal für ein paar Minuten!"

I did read the novel about a year ago, for the first time! Its funny, considering I have been into cyberpunk for decades.

There is only that image though, not a full adaption.

There is only this single image afaik. I would not call that an adaption...

I find Argentinian Gimenez’ work to be regularly jaw-dropping

Yes indeed! Gimenez is a great comic artist, who can reliably pull me into other universes with maximum immersion.

Thank you for this great idea! I will prepare my own version soon!

Thank you very much!
