INSIDE & AKIRA | Monsters Fighting Monsters

Hello!

I said that I'd start uploading more AND HERE WE ARE!

Finally, the long awaited spiritual successor to LIMBO, Playdead's INSIDE! But this video is much more than just that, because #inside has a lot (and by a lot, boy howdy, do I mean A LOT) of similarities to a little know anime you may have heard of called... AKIRA!!!

INSIDE and AKIRA are both loud, shocking, strangely beautiful pieces of fiction and I hope that through this video I've done a well enough job showing that they are indeed brothers from different mothers, peas in pods, or simply just thematically similar. But even if I didn't do a great job... then thank you all for at least checking this video out!

I'll see you guys soon, I promise ;)

p.s. This video got copyright stricken the first like 4 times I tried to upload it, so I had to do some editing trickery to appease the copyright overlords, and that's why the AKIRA footage looks weird :/

If you wanna see AKIRA in all its full glory I recommend watching it anywhere it's available.
