Considering Death Note has many interpretations and symbols, fans have come up with a theory that Death Note is actually a modern version of the story of Adam and Eve. Light represents Adam, Misa is Eve, Ryuk is the serpent and the Death Note represents the apple. Light tries to get power similar to that of “God” and is tempted by Ryuk/the serpent who offers him that power with the Death Note/apple.



Alucard is Dracula spelt backwards.

The Alucard/Dracula thing was around since at least the early 1940s. I love Hellsing, but Kouta Hirano wasn't being clever when he named his own Dracula Alucard. Hell, the Castlevania video games were using the name Alucard before him.

Nowadays, pretty much anyone who studies vampires in fiction knows about the Alucard thingy. Batman even met Alucard (He was Dr. Alucard). Why he didn't figure out it was a Dracula immediately, I don't ******* know.

There have been a whole lot of Alucards out there.

Wasn't Eve the one who was tempted and went through with getting the God's power, though? Can't say I've actually read that story, so.. Anyways.

I think Dragon Ball might be the most reconstructed series in history right now. Even years after the end of Buu, it was made into a separate series with GT and it has so many games that just repeat the same story over and over, yet some how keep it interesting. Hope Xenoverse 2 will expand upon "What if" scenarios too, since that has a lot of potential.

Going on with the Sailor Moon's Juuban thing, there's also Ranma 1/2's that takes place in an actual town: Nerima. Don't think the author moved there like Sailor Moon's did, but I vaguely recall there being a Tendo Dojo there briefly. I only mention Ranma, since Sailor Moon and Ranma have been very popular for crossovers for several years now.

Admittedly, I'm guilty of thinking Black Rock Shooter and Miku Hatsune were the same person as well. In Warcraft 3, there was a game where they were both presented and looked almost completely alike. I also vaguely recall Miku, or Shooter's "normal" form, being able to turn into the black haired Shooter in that game, which caused my confusion. Imagine my surprise when finding out Miku isn't even slightly related to Black Rock Shooter.

I never bothered with Sword Art Online because it got bad reviews after the first season. Don't wanna start something I'm not going to enjoy later. But... Accel world is ... weird. I can't say it's bad, but I can't say it's too good either. The MC isn't terrible, though whiny, but they keep making these unnecessary plot twists in some points that don't really need to happen. But meh, whatcha gonna do?

I don't like the actual anime for SAO, but the abridged series is fantastic. It changes the characters a bunch for a phenomenal result.

I should've explained this better, what I meant was that technically, if Ace was to be born when he was then he would've been 21 not 20 when he died. I've wrote the fact pretty poorly so sorry about that.

'Adam wanted "God like powers" and got tempted by the Snake to eat the Apple'... I am not an expert on Christian lore but... that's not the story I know... wasn't Adam supposed to be a ******* BEFORE he ate the Fruit from the Tree of Wisdom? (or something like that)... he didn't even know that he was naked before taking the fruit, how can he want "God like power" when he didn't even know the use for pants?
The whole I-want-God's-power was Lucifer. Not Adam.
...Adam wasn't even the one tempted by the Snake... it was Eve...

Yes but I meant successful in the sense that it is praised as a landmark in anime, influenced the majority of anime and manga today with many famous mangaka/directors/producers citing Akira as an important influence to them, is regarded as one of the best animated movies of all time, has gotten placed on multiple film lists in popular and well respected magazines and websites often ranking highly, increased the number of anime movies in the US and was generally applauded all around by critics.

Again it's my fault that I've explained another fact poorly so sorry for that, rather than successful I probably should've used influential or applauded.

Akira has an average rating of 7.5 on RT which is an aggregator of reviews. It can't hold a candle to most movies by Disney.
Like it's a pretty good score, but over a hundred movies get around that score every year.
I would definitely not say that it influenced the majority of animanga out today. The majority of anime airing every season are set in HS and are either romantic comedies, SoL or harem, not something that any influences can be linked to Akira.
You're also forgetting the very large amount of anime aimed at the smaller kids like Precure and Yokai Watch. How could they be influenced by something as violent and cyberpunk as Akira?

I think it's a little unfair to compare Akira to Disney, the most they share is that they're both animated and are movies. Disney movies are incredibly popular and are more well known, even if a Disney movie isn't that good it still wouldn't be a flop because of it being Disney. I won't go on too much about Akira vs Disney movies though.

Even if it didn't influence many anime it still had a huge influence on anime in general, it bought about a lot of the popularity received by iconic anime from the time such as Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell because it proved to people that there was a market for such things. It was also a heavy influence for the Matrix.

Well you were talking about the animated movies that are best regarded, and Disney movies get much higher scores than Akira. If you were talking about the most well regarded anime movies that'd be a different matter.

Eh, you cite two anime that came out a decade and 7 years later, respectively. That's not much to go on. GitS was also directed by Mamoru Oshii who had been directing violent and "mature" anime before Akira even came out: see Patlabor, Dallos, Urusei yatsura movie 2. The 80's had tons of violent movies and OVAs before Akira, it's only in the West that Akira has this status.
The Matrix was more influenced by GitS IIRC, and that's still only one movie.

I was originally talking about anime movies but when I researched Akira it said that it is often regarded as one of the best animated movies.

All I'm saying is that it's pretty influential in the same manner that alot of mangaka cite Akira Toriyama, Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki. "It's only in the West that Akira has this status", I never said it was influential in any one country, also even if GitS had a greater impact on The Matrix, there was still an influence from Akira.

I also stated that Akira was influential and was applauded for other reasons, not just being a cited influence by people in anime/manga industry.

By whom?

This is what you said earlier: "influenced the majority of anime and manga today"
Not just "pretty influential", but THE most influential anime was what I was getting out of your comment.
You've still to explain how it's even been "pretty influential" though.

Increasing the number of anime movies being brought to the US is true.

Channel 4's 2005 poll of the 100 greatest cartoons which included cartoon shows and films, Akira came in at number 16. Empire magazine's list of the 500 greatest movies of all time and 100 best films of world cinema had Akira at number 440 and 51 respectively. IGN also named it 14th on its list of Top 25 Animated Movies of All-Time.

Besides The Matrix, Akira was also an influence for Looper, Chronicle and Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

You must've misinterpreted me, just because I said influenced the majority of anime and manga today doesn't mean I said it was the sole major influence, thats like me saying Studio Ghibli was a major influence to Walt Disney and meaning it was THE most influential factor. I also said Akira Toriyama, Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki influenced alot of anime/manga in a similar manner so that wasn't what I meant.

I explained it was influential as it's a major landmark in anime which helped to increase foreign interest in anime and was generally applauded by critics for being ahead of it's time.

Channel 4's and Emipre Magazine's list are both polls that poll laymen, not lists made by experts in the industry. IGN should never be taken seriously...

You still said that it influenced the majority of anime, when that influence cannot be found almost anywhere. What is this influence you're speaking of? As we've already established, many similar anime to Akira came out years before it.

Ahead of it's time? It's an archetypical cyberpunk and is itself inspired by lots of American cyberpunk.

I never called them experts, my words were "popular and well respected".

Influence in the form of ideas and contributing to a new style of animation which contrasted to the style WB and Disney, I say contributed as like you said there were other OVA's and anime which had gory and dark atmospheres. Like I said earlier, it lead to more adult anime being made such as Ghost in the shell and Cowboy Bebop which incorporated Akira's dark, realistic and heavily violent tone. In particular Akira challenged the idea that Westerners had of animation, which was that it was made for cuteness and children.

As well as an increase in dark adult themed anime/manga, it also changed and influenced how anime was made. Unlike shows like Speed Racer which had unnatural animation, Akira chose to use over 160,000 animation cells to avoid still frames making it more realistic. Before Akira most animated films and shows were out of sync in terms of voice acting because they recorded the voices after animating, those working on Akira did the animation afterwards to make the dialogue fit with the animation. The actual cinematography was pretty revolutionary too, Akira used camera techniques used in actual films such as panning and zooming in which was unheard of in animation. The majority of anime use these techniques, which is what I meant by "ahead of its time".
