tbh i prefer spirited away, because i love those anime styles but most important i think spirited away can make you feel a lot more empathy with the characters than Akira.
.... since I’m guessing you didn’t know, kanye was a huge fan of anime and japanese culture back in the day. even his graduation album cover was made by a japanese artist. check the out i still love her live performance by teriyaki boyz it’s sick and kanyes verse is cool too
Kanye was ahead of the curve. When all these other rappers were trying to be gangsta and hard he was just being himself. He was crossing genres by doing collabs with daft punk and referencing classic anime. A lot of people make fun of him now but in the late 2000s he was really unique for mainstream standards.
That was the height of his popularity. Literally every body fucking loved Kanye at the time. Don’t like write a dirge for how he was so underrated. He was beloved then more than he ever can be now
@@n0vi I'm not even a fan, I'm just here via RUclips recommendations, but you gotta admit-Kanye was part of the counterculture in hip hop. Keep in mind, this was back when simply wearing pink was one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Hip Hop. The culture was way too ultra masculine. Nowadays, you're allowed to dress how you want in Hip Hop. Sure, boomers will complain about "kids these days" if you do it, but you're allowed to. Back then, Kanye was criticized for doing as little as wearing a Pink Polo and watching cartoons. He was sampling way more than jazz and soul records(which, I love jazz and soul samples, but he pushed those boundaries. I mean, so did groups like Wu-Tang when they'd sample Kung Fu movies, or people like MF DOOM sampling comic book cartoons, I am, in no way, saying that Kanye was the first to push boundaries with music production in Hip Hop). He proved that you could wear collared shirts. You didn't have to be 100% masculine, you could even commit the crime of showing emotion in regards to romance. Again, not saying he was the first, nor was he the only. But he was one of the people changing Hip-Hop. And I give credit where credit is due.
@@walterwhitecookingchannel8912 Why? I could see how a lot of rappers can relate to anime protagonists character arcs; and rap's been pretty nerdy from day one from Grandmaster Flash to Wu Tang to MF DOOM to Kanye
Just posing a question, but if he was akira he'd just be dismantled and doing nothing for like 90% of time. And then when he does appear he just goes supernova and white so like...
@@fraggss991 yea thats a pretty common opinion. The movie is the first beginning of the first volume of the manga, and the end of last volume of the manga, that didn’t even come out until 2 yrs after the movie. Thats why act 2 of the film feels so all over the place and fast paced. The movie was simultaneously an adaptation of the manga, and an inspiration for the end of the manga. Very confusing 😂.
@@skonczylosie64 not necessarily referring to the look, but just the accuracy without doing too much and being annoying and terrible or doing too little and being soulless
You must be listening to the wrong guys. 90s rappers often dropped Comic Book, Cartoon, Pro Wrestling references which I think opened the door for more expressive rap later on with anime & gaming.
@@ethangriffith6856 the matter of fact is that he does acknowledge it and back in my day MTV and mun2 use to give you information on the video and music they where playing .
This song way ahead of its time. Kayne is a Genius to make something like this 12 years ago. The anime culture become more popular and accepted just in the past decade!
Not gonna lie. That's some pretty bad ass shit. And for those saying he's just copying. Their is a huge difference between promoting your inspiration, giving recognition to; and copying from. How many people had never heard of Akira before he put it out?
I....never realized this was the inspiration for the music video. People will one day understand just how talented and creative Kanye West is. Its a pity that such creativity always comes at the expense of a great personality flaw.
I just finished this gem earlier,I was just "dangggg this MC really go head on to a psychic op kid in the puberty stage with just a motorcycle and a laser gun" 10/10 for me
The day the Kayne/Daft Punk video dropped on TV my friends and I were in disbelief that he would create such a cyberpunk collaboration. The guy definitely was and still is well ahead of his time tbh.

It is.

Rokudo Mukruo You should watch Spirited Away because it's a great film. It's not better than Akira imo, but it's def one of the best movies out there.
ok but there is really no point ranking those movies

yeahhhhhh
Or did we choose it 🤔

The fact all of this art was released on 1988 is truly amazing
The animation is ugly as hell, have you seen the humans?

He right tho, W kanye
I literally just realised the music video is based off Akira, are yo u effing serious 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I feel like a dumby lol
The orginal Daft Punk track comes from Daft Punk's own Animation and Kanye goes for an Akira angle. Interesting man.
Didn't they make the show after the album?
if Kanye West is not in the Akira live action, I ain't watching it
Of course, a 50 years old Tetsuo sounds incredible...

The fact that he made a better adaptetion than most studies
Anybody else come back to this video Bc he was in the Mercedes-Benz stadium for dondas listening party?
This hit different with that side by side
It's crazy how many parallels you can draw between Akira and Ye's life
I hope your speech went well op
It did thank you! Even convinced some people to watch it
I kinda like how the dude always did what he wanted
Ahhh I see that Kanye was a man of culture before everybody else
Damn, never noticed this as a kid. Akira is still the best
Seeing the animation in the sequence of the music video, that’s a badass vision
4 years before we are here again

so the music video was inspired by akira wow
Wow great compArisson 😫💓
This song was so cool back in my senior year of high school lol good times
I knew this was an Akira reference when I first saw the debut of this music video. Nice seeing a side by side comparison tho
Real Kanye fans remember his old tweets about Anime movies.
Kanye is the Goat. Man I love this man
0:48 When you see the enemy soldiers' stars in Kanye's version have six points 😳
That the reason why ye hates (your channel has been permanently remove from youtube because of hate speech)
When I was like 7 before I got into anime this was my fave video and song lmaoo now it makes sense
Akira: The Kayne West Story
Akira is so fkn good I stumbled upon it randomly when I was smoking a j and I wanted to watch sumn new
What’s weird is I was talking about this exact video in a ps4 party chat and I now see it in my recommendations 🤔
Stronger was a good song back then I still remember it I was 5
I just finished this gem earlier,I was just "dangggg this MC really go head on to a psychic op kid in the puberty stage with just a motorcycle and a laser gun" 10/10 for me
I like Kanye, idiosyncratic though he be.
I can see you a real fan because this the first time I ever seen someone compare these
Aahh... The good old times... :') ❤💯

No, live action movie always sucks, except for Edge of Tomorrow and Alita.
Came in looking for a comparison
Left wanting to hear stronger again
this is wild cause me and my friend were talking about how the music video and akira matched up a lot just a day ago
Um gênio a frente de seu tempo
Si
Kanye west X daft punk with akira
EPIC
I recently watch Akira(3-4 days before today)and i have to say that is 8/10 but i have to say the fact that it deserves all the praise it gets
ive knopw both of these almost my entire life, how am i just realizing this now in 2022...
I’m pretty sure most people liked Kanye’s version of the song better than daft punks.
It's a totally different song, they aren't "versions" of each other. Kanye sampled not remixed the Daft Punk song.

wait thats really the inspiration no wonder when I was younger I kinda recognized it

kill me pretty well, most people didn’t care but enjoyed a break from all the talking
