PAS (r/Akira) Post Flair guide
Post Flair guide;
If this becomes to complex ill auto mod it into posts or make a user guide. But for now we have this post;
I think its all flairy (i'm sorry) obvious. Ill stress the main thing is to not abuse categories for personal grifting. Do people really want to buy your crappy tshirt? ehhh probably not. Is your podcast official news? eeee... If you want to sneak in a self promotion then you will probably fall under the 'fanworks' flair.
Open for suggestions.
----------------------

- Discussion about Akira. If you want to get Anime or Manga specific then pick that flair. If you want to chat general Akira then go that one. Whatever the topic it probably goes in one of these places. Don't stress to much if you get it wrong.
-------------------------

- New Akira coming? Exhibitions? Otomo is building an underground bunker? Post it here. This is 'ideally' for official news regarding Otomo and Akira ip.
----------------------------------

- Official is official. Works by Otomo or approved by his studio under the Akira ip.
- FANWORKS is broad. Tattoos, Cosplay, Art, Bartkira (yes this is real), BIKE SLIDE (fan made), Kaneda jacket, youtube videos, tiktoks, custom figurines, Motorbikes and helmets with stickers on them (you absolute nerds we love you).
------------------------------

Somewhat 'official works' flairs.
- Other Otomo works - is for discussion of Otomos other projects.
- Interviews & Documentaries - Magazines, Otomo interviews, Otomo docos. Professionally made productions. I will stress this is not a flair for amateur podcasts and youtube clips unless you can get Otomo himself on. The main reason I want to stress this is because fandom subs often suffer from amateur creators trying to self promote. I get it, but not everyone wants to see this. Just be mindful about this and if you want to share your creation then it probably goes under the 'fanworks' flair.

- Everything about the great music and sound fx of Akira.
----------------------------------------------

- These three are very common posts in this sub. Giving them a flair will hopefully make it easy for people to filter them in or out in the future. Please reference artists, video games, movies or whatever the image/video comes from.
- Poster = poster reference.
- Bike Slide = Bike Slide reference.
- Homage and easter eggs are general akira references in other professional works.
- If amateur works then consider if could just go under 'fanworks'.
--------------------------------

- Official Merch and Collectables. This can be magazines, movie posters, figurines etc. I think this is one of the strongest post types in this sub. Some incredible finds here and hopefully this flair can help people filter it all in the future.
- Bookshelf - this is a space to show off your manga, dvd cases, etc. Lets see the collection.

Manga Discussion Akira manga vol 3 page 142 who is this person in the bottom panel? Spoiler
Technically not spoilers…I don’t think? But I flagged it as such anyway just in case.
Been reading through the 35th anniversary manga and I got to this page…and I have no idea who this person is at the bottom last panel? Do they come up later in the volume or is it just a random thing?

Merch & Collectables Digging through my old shirts...
I got it as a kid on the early 90s, but confused over the difference between the Fashion Victim/Fruit of the Loom tags I keep seeing to ID exactly which it is. Happy to find it either way! Wore it weekly, shocked it's in the shape it's in.

Official Art Where can I find the exact Akira Vol. 1 opening illustration?
Hey everyone! I just got Akira volume one and the artwork at the start of the book is incredible. I'd love to turn it into a painting for my wall, but I can't track down this exact version. Most of what I find online is black and white or low quality monochromatic pictures.
Does anyone know where I can find a high quality copy? Thanks in advance!

General Discussion Any model makers out here with experience with sticker packs?
Hey everyone,
Asking here as I thought some of you would have some experience regarding stickers. I'm specifically looking to source the stickers at 1:5 scale. Has anyone here tried to source them for themselves or know a good place to look for them?
Also, I'm sure people have asked many times before, but how do you all feel about the alternate brands? I know it's not as iconic, but if you were ordering stickers for a project, would you want them included in the pack or would they just never get used?

Merch & Collectables Scored these two for only $30 off marketplace 🙏
Just wanted to share these two awesome minifigures I picked up of Kaneda and Tetsuo. These are my first (and beginning of many more) Akira figures, and I couldn’t be happier.
Can anyone clue me in if anyone’s selling the part four mutated Tetsuo and Kei that can clip onto the Kaneda?

Fanworks RADIOTOMO
drive.google.comA fun idea project a friend of mine gave me about 5 years ago now. My intentions were to upload to YouTube but it's quickly blocked from doing so.
The idea was just that Radiohead Kid A could go along with Akira (Kid Akira). I had the record on vinyl and a DVD of the film and decided to make it happen. At the time and still, I'm inexperienced with much video editing, so it was a learning experience. I mess around with mixing and recording records and did a bit of EQing to give a slightly darker sound.
The video was recorded using an old Canon digital camera with the video being projected on my wall.. you're actually looking at my wall in the video lol. Intentionally made low quality to give a bootleg feel, as well as adjusting the film to be darker and more red for a film noir kind of effect.
As much as I love the original film, it was difficult trying to put it together and not create pure blasphemy.. I never want to make money from it or disrespect all original and respected creators involved. Just a fun idea that came together for both Akira and Radiohead fans.
The audio isn't getting justice with phone or laptop speakers, so I hope it can be heard on good headphones or speakers! Please enjoy, and please watch the original film first in case you haven't, this can wait!
Thank you.
