I don't mind that they're making this into a Live Action. What bothers me is that they are changing the setting and most likely the racial/ethnic background of the characters.For this movie to continue production without backlash from fans all the characters MUST (Mandatory) be played by Japanese Actors and it needs to take place in Neo-Tokyo (Not "New Manhattan" pfft.). They don't necessarily need to film it in Tokyo (I would prefer it) but they must make it clear that its taking place in Japan and in the City of Tokyo! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Something should seriously be done about this. I have loved this Six Volume Masterpiece(Akira written and illustrated by Katsuhiro Otomo) since I was 13. I cannot express in words how much this "news" has disturbed me. Now that we know that they have changed the setting to "Manhattan" we can only imagine what other changes they are going to make. Who here is with me and willing to tackle this problem! This is absolutely ridiculous and should be stopped at once. If they are going to make the film MAKE IT RIGHT! That means all Japanese cast and Japanese setting.
