I'm sure a lot of you like Kanye West, and if you are one of these people you have probably seen his video for the song "Stronger." You probably like this very well produced video. I have to say, the video is very impressive. Further, if you are one of these people, I can bet that you probably hate all things anime. Dismissing it as a geeky hobby that you want nothing to do with.
Surprise! You actually like anime...sorta. How you ask? Kanye's "Stronger" video is based entirely off the anime feature film, "Akira," a brilliant anime made in 1988 which even today is still a benchmark of quality in the industry. Kanye's video on Youtube has generated nearly 18 million views, I wonder what the fraction of people who know what the video is inspired from is. I'm willing to guess it's not very large.
Take a look, first is his video, second is a video comparing his video with the movie.
