That doesn’t mean it didn’t help it reach an audience it otherwise wouldn’t have

Not saying Kanye showed it to The Weeknd either

Who said that?

Akira is at least less popular than 21 jump street

Is that so

Akira isn't some obscure movie bruh it has influenced so much s*** way more than 21 jump street

I promise you the general public knows 21 Jump Street over Akira

Probably, but it also knows a s*** ton of things that were influenced by Akira

super dope find !

how am I complaining the post was not even that serious. I‘m not even talking bout u why are u taking it personal

long time no see in the threads

Neuromancer fathered

Anyone that has a slight interest in Anime knows Akira & people that arent into Anime dont even know wtf Kanye is referencing like the Stronger video

Only diehard fans of Kanye that didnt know about it beforehand would put in the effort to find out about it, which is a very small minority

Akira has also influenced many popular Western live action films such as Matrix & animation

It actually transformed the entire 2d animation scene & is claimed to be a reference by almost every animator around the world
