Concept artist transforms Ducati Diavel into Kaneda’s motorbike from Akira

December 14, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s hard to name a more famous anime vehicle than Akira’s motorbike. Does the castle count in Howl’s Moving Castle? What about the flyer in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind?

Picture perfect Kaneda cosplay – Akira made real

November 27, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This superb cosplay was shared by graphic designer and photographer u/jedsters. More of the Los Angeles based artist’s cosplay shots can be fond on @radioeight.uni on Instagram. Kaneda is the main protagonist in Akira. His gang is known as The Capsules which explain the odd but striking image on the back of his iconic jacket. […]

The Bartkira trailer creates mashup madness

July 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sit back and boggle as an Akira – The Simpsons mashup actually works. The idea comes from Ryan Humphrey and the animation was made possible by Kaitlin Sullivan who pitched the idea and got more than 50 artists to help with the animation. Curious? There’s a whole Bartkira.com site and a Tumblr too.

Poster: Akira

November 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What’s not to like about this Akira poster from Pizza Party Printing? This is a limited edition with only 70 hand signed and numbered copies made. There are four colours on this 18″x24″ cover stock. The only danger is that if you add this to your collection you might shout out TETSUOOOOO!! whenever you walk […]

Akira’s theme with a classical twist and cosplay topping

July 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the first post on a YouTube channel called Player Piano. Got to say; it looks interesting. The channel is focused on Sonya Belousova, a piano player, and in this video she brings with her musical friends all cosplaying Akira. She also brings Eru Matsumoto who uses a neon bow for her electric cello […]

Impressive Akira Project trailer

May 10, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The trailer is awesome but there is no movie. The Akira Project is a crowd-sourced, non-profit attempt to crate a trailer for a live action version of Akira. A live action version of the film is a nut that Hollywood is yet to crack but in July 2012 there was an Indiegogo campaign to draw […]

That’s right – this is what would happen if Ghost Rider got his skeletal hands on Kaneda’s cycle. It’s the Ghost Rider Akira mashup. Credit to the deviant artist Marco D’alfonso.

The movie timeline of the future [infographic]

June 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This infographic from Michael Hobson is pretty cool. He’s a designer and illustrator based in London and one of the founders of Digital Sizzle. I’m not entirely sure he’s a fan of Ghost in the Shell. Then again; Cowboy Bebop is on the list so perhaps he’s an anime fan after all. The future according […]
