Spec Boogie – Summer Movie Season: Akira (Video)

For the latest video I give you Akira, the greatest anime ever and one of my favorite films of any genre. Akira takes a complex look at the danger of power without focus or purpose. This one was produced by myself by chopping up three different songs from the soundtrack and if I’m not mistaken is my first beat released to the public (but not my last). If you are unfamiliar with this classic, you might recognize some of the imagery was borrowed for Kanye West’s Stronger video and I will forever be jealous that he got to do that before I did.

  7. Akira is NOT anime’s G.O.A.T. That would be Cowboy Bebop… that is all.

  10. I agree that Cowboy Bebop is better then Akira but you can’t really compare a movie to a tv series.

  11. Coboy Bebop might be the best anime series but even the CB movie isn’t touching Akira. this is a ill mash up, props to spec.

  13. crazy vid! great

    tape21 said this on July 16th, 2009 at 7:53 am

  14. i agree.
    Cowboy Bebop is the G.O.A.T. as far as anime series.
    but Akira is the G.O.A.T as far anime movies and probably moreso
    as far animated movies in general.
    Ninja Scroll gets honorable mention.

    *damn nobody’s talkin bout the song.

    —a dying metaphor—

  15. Spec Boogie is dope. Akira is one of the best Anime’s ever all though they f–d up the ending, the original manga was much better. Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are dope. I am a huge Avatar fan, even though it technically is not an Anime. Ninja Scroll and Princess Mononoke are also dope.

  19. lol @THE INVISIBLES
    the incredibles one of the best animated films ever?

    cowboy bebop is def one of the G.O.A.T as far a series’
    but Akira was fucking nice i remember watching it when i was 14 didnt really understand much of it but i watched it couple of times over the years. but Akira isnt THE G.O.A.T theres just too many animes (from other genres) that are better story line wise and the animation quality like gohst in the shell, paprika, Howl’s Moving Castle, grave of the fireflies and i can go on

  20. haD LUPE SPIT ON THIS SAME BEAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC! but he did not…. i digress

    john said this on July 16th, 2009 at 4:33 pm

  21. Grave of the fireflies was good but depressing as Fuck i Ghost In Shell is up there too i mean damn the Matrix is damn near a clone of it. Damn nobody liked Sprited Away just about anything Studio Ghibli makes is good i can’t say which ones my favorite they’re all different and make you feel different Akira left me feeling empty and is probably one of the best animes i’ve seen i still can watch it cause its timeless.
