It was obvious that it would happen.<br /><br />I like the Hughes brothers, but Akira won't get made the way it should. <br /><br />A friend of mine said to me about remakes that worry us, which is that the original we love is always there. And he's right, but when something we love hasn't been, or hasn't been planned to be remade, we can hold on to our daydreaming about the perfect version of something being made, the perfect live action Akira, japanese cast and all (which certainly won't happen).<br /><br />Same thing with Cowboy Bebop.
