Hey, The Beauty of! I recently found your video for The Beauty of Akira, which blew me away. So much that I was super inspired and wanted to try adapting a song of mine to it that's very minimal but builds to a wall of synths. If you're not cool with me using the video for a means of scoring let me know and I'll take it down the current version on my channel. I just thought it fit so well with the sound I was creating at the time. Obviously, as you know, you can't monetize these videos and not that I care cause I did it just as an exercise but I just wanted to throw it to you and see what you think! Thanks! -Daniel Reguera
What blows my mind about 80's and early to mid 90's is that ALL the frames are made entirely BY HAND! And there is people who dissmiss this kind of masterpiece just for being a little old...
... Every animated property before computers was done by hand. And even that's a misconception. "By Hand" means that each frame of the movement is drawn rather than using a rig or a puppet and tweening it. So technically digital hand drawn animation is also a thing and it is also done by hand. However, these old animations had to be manually physically colored and the backgrounds had to be be watercolor painted which is what's truly impressive about them. And the people who dismiss old animation are weird. For me it was much more aesthetically pleasing when things were physically drawn because the colors tended to be much richer and of course, the watercolored backgrounds were always an eye candy.

@@nichiban3972 Well, you can check out the filmography of Katsuhiro Otomo (director of Akira) and the filmography of Satoshi Kon (a personal favorite)!!! 😎👌🎬
Omg 👺 how..? Kooyanisquati's score and the images of Akira, together at last! Philip Glass' score was also re-used in The Watchman for Dr. Manhattan's creation sequence. Similar to Tetsuo's disastrous psychic awakening, actually 💥
Holy shit you got some talent in making these videos, you manage to truly capture the essence and beauty of the films. If they ever dare try adapting this masterpiece in live-action, please, I hope it can be by a really good filmmaker that loves and understands the source material.
I was expecting to hear some synthwave song because of the aesthetics in this movie, or maybe Kaneda's theme, but Koyaanisqatsi fits so well with Tetsuo and his character arc. One of the most greatest animated movies ever made, and sure it is one of the most important (Alongside with Ghost in The Shell, Toy Story, etc).
OP has since said the Akira OST got them stricken by Copyright Lawyers particularly hard. But this is a blessing in disguise to me because not only does Phillip Glass fit Akira very well, OP doesn’t have to try and find just one or two Kira tracks to go over all this footage.
Around the time this movie was shown in America, the animated movies that most Americans were familiar with were those either released by Disney or Don Bluth, meaning the medium was primarily viewed as being either for families or younger audiences. With that context in mind, can you imagine the reactions on people’s faces when they saw this film for the first time?
Thank you for all your work, especially this one video. It's literaly one of my most favourite videos on entire YT. And combining Akira with Koyaanisqutsi soundtrack is pure genius. PS: Another awesome video for Akira fans: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iY1QHpp6iEE.html
Nothing describes this movie better than the word masterpiece. This movie will stand out in animation and film forever. Watched it already a dozen times and I will watch it another dozen times💊
It always amazes me when films like Akira have every person in frame, in motion. The amount of time it probably took for a mere few seconds of a scene is something I can’t imagine.
Oh man if you're doing animes also you def need to do Naoki Urasawa's Monster and Berserk! They're both so beautiful. Fun fact: Akira is the anime that got me into anime!
Je sais pas si tu appréciera le film ou si tu le trouvera intéressant, mais dans le genre animé de SF très esthétique je te recommandes graves le film Metropolis de 2001 réalisé par Rintarō et écrit, justement, par Katsuhiro Ōtomo (enfin si tu ne l'as pas déjà vu). À l'image d'Akira, le film est imparfait, parfois un peu bordélique car le scénario tente de coincer pas mal d'éléments, mais y'a un vrai style et une démarche presque... unique quelque part. Un film dont le style imite clairement les productions à l’ancienne, tant celles de Tezuka qu'il adapte que les films tels que celui de Fritz Lang, notamment dans l'usage des transissions an iris. Et qui, en même temps, utilise avec l'animation sur cellulo traditionnelle de l'image de synthèse qui, pour l'époque, était novatrice et qui.... bah en vrai même si elle est évidente, bah par le travail sur les détails, la direction artistique, les couleurs, etc, au final a plutôt bien vieilli dans son genre. Ça donne ce rendu presque..... hors du temps, indescriptible.
I remember being a kid and grabbing this movie at blockbuster because of the motorcycle on the cover. My parents said ok because "it's a cartoon" lol. Anime fan ever since.
Lmao why would you use the theme to a completely different movie when you could've used Kaneda's theme? That piece is amazing and would've fit much better
I didn't realize the original soundtrack was blocked, about to come to the defense. The dystopic cyberpunk world of Akira is like an extension of the 'Life out of Balance' shown in Kooyanisquatsi. Further, both were from the early 80's and so it's not entirely jarring see them together. The hypnotic, mesmerizing music matches the scope of Akira's imagery sampled here quite well.
Chili Corrigan And it doesn’t hurt that Watchmen (2009) reintroduced the organ section of this soundtrack to a wider audience via the Dr Manhattan On Mars section.
Wait koyaanisqatsi jouait dans le film? 0_o Je ne m'en souvenais pas du tout ^^' En même temps, ça fait longtemps et je ne l'avais pas aimé sur le coup, je dois vraiment lui donner une seconde chance. Parlant de films de dark SF, si tu ne l'as pas vu, je te conseilles énormément Dark City d'Alex Proyas (du moins la director's cut). C'est inspiré fortement par l’expressionnisme allemand et je suis convaincue que les sœurs Wachowski s'en sont inspiré pour Matrix. Et esthétiquement, il est juste superbe, ça mériterait totalement sa vidéo éventuellement ^^
Non, koyaanisqatsi n'est pas dedans, mais toute la soundtrack est bloquée sur RU-vid... Et j'ai trouvé qu'au final, cette musique collait bien. Dark city est un des premiers films que j'ai vu quand j'étais ado, une énorme claque, je compte bien en faire une vidéo un jour
Doesn't feel right to see the opening scenes of Neo-Tokyo without the "Kaneda" theme playing, but the song fit well for the rest of the video. AKIRA is my personal favorite motion picture, animated or otherwise, and absolutely deserves to be counted among the greatest works of animation of all time, right up there with Snow White and Fantasia. I've seen it well over a hundred times and every...single...time.....I see something new. It was all drawn by hand. Think about that! It's an absolute marvel that will likely never be eclipsed. It's violent, it's grotesque, it's merciless.......but it's just utterly gorgeous to witness.
@@TheBeautyOf Well I think your choice worked really well, but I was just saying that opening sequence and "Kaneda" are forever wed in my mind. But definitely a great video that highlights some of the most incredible animation of all time. Couldn't have been easy to select just a few scenes, but you got some great ones, especially the shots of the city where there are just so many layers of cels and background paintings that give so much depth. And the scene of Tetsuo creating his mechanical arm is one of the best, too...worked really well with the editing and the music.
When Anime was pure artistic genius. 80s and 90s was the era. What's really interesting is i remember l feeling very alive in the 80s as a kid and young teen... but we saw the future as it would be a bleak, robotic soulless existence....and that's how i feel today. Its like we knew it wasn't going to be good. So living it up in the 80s and 90s was the thing to do
