    This is a waste of time. I need to watch a live-action Lupin III yesterday.

    There is no chance this will be as good as the anime, but it could still be highly entertaining.

    I'm still not sure how they're going to do those crazy hallucination scenes, though. Obviously with some kind of CG, but most of what makes those great in the original is Otomo's art style.

    Wait, they probably won't even include the hallucination scenes.

    And the audience won't get what's going on at all.

    Fuck it, this is going to suck.

    Akira is the granddaddy of all anime in the same way that Star Wars is the granddaddy of all science fiction.

    @Dickdogfood: See, if we could somehow connect this with Cloverfield it might just work.
