Stronger = Akira

Posted over 4 years ago
Recently, Kanye released a video for "Stronger," the second single from his upcoming album Graduation.When I watched the video for the first time, there was a scene that reminded me of the classic anime film Akira. However, it's been quite a while since I watched that film.An article I found shows that the whole video, not just the sequence I recognized, is a homage/take-off on Akira.Check out the link above and then watch the video again:Of course, Kanye is far from the first hip-hop artist to be inspired by anime as this classic Ghostface Killah video proves:I really hope that this song is somewhere in the Speed Racer movie.

  1. TroyPowers says Yeah, only the part where he stumbled out of the hospital room and blew back the people made me think of Akira.
