Akira Fan Builds Kaneda's Motorcycle
Ever since its debut in 1982, Akira has earned the reputation as one of the most iconic manga titles ever published. When the anime movie was released in 1988, Akira sealed its status as a global phenomenon whose influence is still felt to this day.Recently, an Akira fan and motorcycle enthusiast named Ayato made waves when he showed off his custom-built Akira motorcycle replica. Ayato, who goes by the name Teruteru Boizo on Youtube, took an old junk bike and reassembled it to look like Kaneda’s iconic red bike in the comic. On his Youtube channel, Ayato displayed how he added LED lighting to its wheels, recreating the futuristic glow of the bike. Though the replica still lacks the motorcycle's distinct red paint and corporate branding, it already impressively recreates the cyberpunk look of the motorcycle that has enchanted generations of fans.#Akira #anime #manga #Kaneda #motorcycle #Ayato #cyberpunk #TeruteruBoizo #replica

It currently offers 14 flavors, all of which are subtle anime references. Bubble Gambatte, for example, is taken from the classic anime Bubblegum Crisis. How did this ice cream parlor get started? You can read its origin story in manga form.-via Food with Bros#anime #manga #icecream
VRoid Studio Turns Bad Drawings Into Beautiful Manga and Anime Characters
A new program can now turn bad drawings into good-looking manga or anime characters. This tool, created by talented software engineer T. Takasaka (@t_takasaka), turns sketches into stunning illustrations in real-time. Individual presets are available for users so they can customize the resulting pro-level image that will be generated. They can set the character’s hairstyle, nose, and other facial features and they can see the changes as they happen.The software is currently in the testing phase, and Takasaka shared that he plans to add a parameter slider to the program so users can change the style and shape of a character after drawing it. In addition to helping non-artists be more familiar with digital art, the program can potentially help anime artists in the industry by lightening their workload. Image credit: T.

In the 2004 Studio Ghibli anime classic Howl’s Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki, a girl turned into an old woman found herself in a magical castle that can move. The castle was enchanted by a wizard named Howl, and looked like four looming towers, “bespelled” to hold together around an instant bulgogi udon bowl.YouTuber Studson Studio (also at @studsonstudio) decided to make a replica of Howl's Moving Castle. Using empty bottles and other trash and junk items, even an actual instant bulgogi udon bowl, he replicated what the castle would look like in real life if it were the size of a medium-sized dog.If you want to try it on your own, he posted a 52-minute video on his channel detailing every step in making the replica. Be sure to also use junk items for your project so Mother Earth would be happy!#JunkArt #StudsonStudio #anime #HowlsMovingCastle #HayaoMiyazaki #StudioGhibli #castle #junk #trash

You Can Now Buy Gundam Emergency Rations in the Real World
Anime fans can now stock up on Gundam-themed emergency rations and be ready for any fights or other emergencies!The Principality of Zeon Emergency Rations are cans filled with Japanese hardtack called kanpan. This survival bread is a popular souvenir from vending machines in Akihabara. The outer casing of the emergency rations has the Zeon symbol, straight from the Mobile Suit Gundam series. The kanpan in the rations was made by Sanritsu Seika, a confectionary shop in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. The prefecture is also where the largest Gundam model kit factories are located, so it's no surprise that a manufacturer in Shizuoka was picked for the collaboration.
