Kaneda’s Bike from #Akira comes to Life in Japan! @geeksngoddesses
If you have $121,000 dollars and a big fan of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira,then you must be Japanese resident Masashi Teshima. Teshima spent 7 years and ¥10 million to build his dream bike.
According to Kotaku, “While there are other Kaneda bike projects, this one is officially recognized by Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo. And Teshima is riding the bike across the country to raise money for children’s autism.”
“The last stop is Tokyo, where it will be displayed at an exhibition for Katsuhiro Otomo. Visitors to the exhibit can sit on the bike and have their photos taken with it. The exhibit is for a good cause, too: it’s raising money for victims of last year’s earthquake.”
Truly an amazing fan labor of love!

John Carter - Trailer 2
#JohnCarter is a must see #Epic Sci-fi Adventure film! Amazing visuals and action scenes! @GeeksnGoddesses Approved!
Official Synopsis:
From Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes John Carter—a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

Amazing Space Battleship #Yamato2199 Trailer - Geeks & Goddesses #starblazers @geeksngoddesses @new_yamato_2199
According to Toysrevil:
SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199 is a 26-episode half-hour series, a remake of the classic 1974 production, and the movie in theaters is titled “SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199 - CHAPTER 1: THE LONG VOYAGE”, directed by Yutaka Izubuchi. From the over 3+minutes trailer above (in Japanese / unsubbed), we see a decidedly “advanced” animation leaning towards a more realistic depiction, versus the earlier stylized caricatures of the era (AKA less sharper noses ;p).
2199 will be released in theaters in Japan on April 7 and DVD and BD of Volume 1 will be made available on May 25th.
