I did. And when I read it the article didn't say Kaneda and his bike. It said Akira and his bike.

Did you even read the article before it was edited?

And your second quote? Again, what makes anyone think this takes place in the same universe? The points he made bear literally no resemblance to Akira. You can literally take any story that has two groups of people at odds with each other and say, "OH! THAT REMINDS ME OF THE CAPSULES VS CLOWNS IN AKIRA!"

Same with the cables comment. How in the world do cables coming out of people's stomachs and controlling things bear ANY RESEMBLANCE AT ALL to Kaneda and his bike? Kaneda didn't have cables coming out of him and he certainly didn't connect and control his bike with them. So again, what visual resemblance?

Have you seen Akira?

So again, based off of those, which I mentioned above (how would I know he used those 3 examples to prove his point if I didn't read the article?), why would anyone think this is in the Akira universe?

Also, not bitching and complaining. Just pointing out why this theory makes very little sense.

Okay one more question: who is this 'we' you keep speaking of? Not everyone shares your opinion. You're quite right about magic though - I'm not convinced it actually exists - however 'learning' is definitely real and is as viable a prospect for Kojima as it is for everyone. You might have missed Del Toro's involvement. He, like Kojima, is a creative tour-de-force with a worldwide fanbase.

To write it off at this stage makes you no better that someone suggesting it is already the coming of Christ in videogame form. If you keep an open mind, you might be pleasantly surprised.

people who have played video games and critics. No one thinks Metal Gear has a good story or even good writing outside of its rabid fanbase.
I'm not writing off the game part but the story will most likely be as awful as everything else he's done.

Well sure, let's just listen to the critics then. Anyone who disagrees must be rabid. Just wow...
