On this episode of Nerd & Tie we tackle the live action Akira remake that’s been in development hell for over fifteen years, and why it shouldn’t ever happen. Before that though, we spend a good chunk of time in the headlines. We talk about the Kyoto Animation fire, a Minnesota based convention staffer getting charged with sexual assault, and the unmitigated weirdness that was this year’s Tokyo in Tulsa.

It’s a bit of a trip.
