Partridge vs. Akira
21-year old Harry Partridge has released his spoof of the 26-year old manga property Akira. His short, titled The American Akira, sends up Katsuhiro Otomo’s post-apocalyptic story about a teenage boy with extraordinary powers. With his spoof, Partridge is alluding the upcoming Warner Bros. feature films that set the story in New Manhattan as opposed to Neo-Tokyo.

That was hilarious. I laughed my @$$ off. Great work. And yet quite terrifying regarding its harrowing implications……

Agreed that was hilarious. I’m sure this is pretty much what we would see in an American version of Akira.
