omg... the japanese anime classic Akira will made into 128 bit glory on the PS2... here is the article:
According to a report by ICV2.com, a PlayStation 2 videogame based on the classic Japanese animated film Akira is being developed by AIA, a new game company made up of veterans of the Dreamcast horror adventure Illbleed.
Heading up the company is Yoshiaki Kanazawa, former chairman of Jaleco. The game is slated to arrive in late summer, a few weeks after Pioneer releases the remastered edition of the film.
The game "is said to take full advantage of the three-dimensional potential of the Playstation 2 format," but no other details are available. AIA was not reachable for comment. For further Akira information, stay tuned to IGNScifi.

this is out of hand, i cant wait to see what happens witht this game
-
ive never heard about this game whats it about/like??
-
Sounds interesting I bought Akira for my friend off of Ebay. Many people worships Akira as one if not the greatest anime. I beg to differ however since I\'ve never actually seen it but a game does sound interesting. Now if they\'d only start talking about some Dragon Ball Z games;)
-
Akira rules.I first saw it in Japanese in the theaters.The movie was cool as hell.
I recently have had some kinda cartoon mania I need to see all the stuff I watched as a young lad. They include:
Akira
Transformers
Thundercats
and a whole lot more.
I would like to thank the internet for providing the means to get my hands upon these gems :D
ohh and to stay on topic.Can\'t wait for the game :)

If the Akira-game will be as good as the anime, than it should be some sort off killer-app. for the PS 2! The company that made Illbleed also made Blue Stinger. BS isn\'t that great so i still have my doubts if their first PS2-title will be worth it\'s money.
P.S.
I also would like to see an Neon Genesis Evangelion-game on PS 2! Some kind of mech-sim-, action or action-adventure-game would be awesome! :)

Akira is the best Anime ????

-

Akira isn\'t out on DVD - yet....
AKIRA RERELEASED ON DVD (http://web.singnet.com.sg/~yonghow/akiradvd.htm)
They never released Akira on DVD, only in germany can you get it, and it\'s poorly done. This company is going to re-release Akira in THEATERS and on DVD, after spending over a million bucks redigitizing it, and redubbing the voices. Anybody who\'s a big anime fan like will will care....
-
Does anybody have UROTSUKIDOJI Perfect Collection on DVD? Man that\'s a sick anime flick! The second disc\'s animation isn\'t as good as the first, but it\'s still cool.
-
Nah, a Ninja Scroll game would kick. Or what about a Love Hina or Tenchi game.
-
i would really love it if therell be an escaflowne game coz the storyline of that anime is trully amazing

Akira the game, ha !
Didn\'t you ppl realize there actually already
WAS an Akira game released. It was I think
about 4 - 6 years ago. It was in the 16 to 32 bit
transition era. And it was 2D.
Right now I don\'t have anything to prove this,
but take my word I saw screenshots.

Was there a second Akira movie made?? I heard rumors a while back, but couldn\'t find one, so I assumed it was:
A) small
B) not very good
C) japanese only
Was there one? I think that a new game in the akira world would be cool, but I\'d rather see a game of that genre from:
Ninja Scroll
Venus Wars
or Record of Lodoss War

I have 33 of the 36 graphic comics that I bought back in the \'80\'s. The movie did not follow the original series completely. I didn\'t like the end and some of the other parts because I knew that they were suppose to be different. The major part...Akira was never dissected! He came out of that freezer a whole child. But I still liked the anime and I have it on VHS. I will buy it on DVD when it\'s released.

escafloune is nothing compared to neon genesis evan gelion, and tenchi..... id dont think so, but if they made evan gelion that would be awesome, and it is going to be very interesting on how they develop this game

Guy\'s, how do you get your eye\'s to go back in your head?
The anime sucked compared to the manga and the anime still kicks that much ass.

As far as I know Manga is just a company that makes anime. (they probly make hentai aswell ;))
-

The term "Manga" refers to Japanese comics, I believe.
-
You have to do your homeworks better boys... ;)
The Japanese Comicbooks are called "MANGA"...
...and the Films are called "ANIME"... it´s that simple ! :D
