Directed by Takeshi Yagi
Twitter Facebook Google+Science Fiction | Action | Short
Overview
A Japanese tokusatsu kaiju proof-of-concept short film directed by Takeshi Yagi and written by Yagi, Todd Silverstein, and Jordan A. Y. Smith. It is the end result of a tokusatsu film production course taught by Yagi for the online subscription service NarÅ. Though only about 6 minutes of footage was cut together and shown at Tokyo Comic Con on November 24, 2022, Yagi and his crew intend to put proceeds from course subscriptions toward getting AKARI made as a feature film or television series. It stars the titular Akari, a woman turned giant with alien technology, fighting off a berserk cybernetic monster.

Viewing Notes
This is a neat proof of concept short film by Ultraman director Takeshi Yagi. The international premiere was at Fantasia last year before SHIN KAMEN RIDER. Excellent colors with character design by Matt Frank. Super cool they got Kanon Miyahara in the Ultraman-like AKARI suit. Definitely want more of this. Third movie I watched today with Kanon and each a very different role. She’s awesome and apparently in a new show co-starring with Rina Takeda (High Kick Girl).
I had to go on a bit of a deep search to get to the actual movie which doesn’t exist online but I was able to download and now own a file thanks to the wayback machine.
