Should’ve said, my copy of Akira is a double disk special edition. Got the original subtitled version, English dubbed, and the “Production report” all together.
 
Daft, when that film was first released here in the UK, it was so sought after people were breaking in to houses just to nick the VHS video copy of Akira. I don’t think any other film in history has had that sort of reaction.

@40kponyguy  
That’s true too. Akira is really heavy on visuals in the movie. One of the best animation ever done. Maybe memories over do it in sheer quality but those are short films, written by the same guy.

@YateTiemeng  
Breaking off from the visual spectacle to read the subtitles sucks. So I prefer the dubbed version.
 
As for the manga, they ran that in the magazine ‘Manga Mania’ which I collected for quite some time. Can’t remember much of that either, aside from the Nimitz class carrier that got wrecked over the course of several scenes. First they had Tetsuo appearing on the deck, wrecking a plane that was taking off. Then either Akira or Tetsuo blasted a chunk out of the flight deck. It eventually got sunk if I remember correctly.

Get the Japanese version. Also read the Manga.

Stupid thing is, I haven’t watched Akira this side of 2000. I barely remember any of it. Might be worth a re-watch soon.
 
Got the DVD out to draw the bike, (it’s on the front cover), so it’s currently in easy reach.

Whenever I see a reference to Akira, the battle against clowns ost pops into my head.  
The breathing is so cheesy but fitting, and it’s one of those tunes that doesn’t go away once it enters your mind.

Hey.This is really nice. Both the bike and the siren on it looks nice. I like the coloring on her hair too. Highlights do make it looks really nice.
 
Also yeah. Kaneda’s bike is crazy.

Aria Blaze: “ADAGIOOOOOO!!!”

Thanks.  
I’ve done a couple of other tweaks to the design here too.  
There’s a Wonderbolts emblem on the front there, which was an American star with the blue and white stripes either side on the original bike.
 
Also, the text on the original bike said “Citizen”.

Aria looks so epic here. I really love the design and the way her motorcycle looks.

She looks so awesome on the bike! I imagine that if Aria was in the Friendship Games she would be partaking in the motocross I love how you added her cutie mark on the side. Amazing job!
