Slow on the uptake

So we're watching videos on VH1 again this Saturday morning, and it's been a good eight or nine times I've seen the Kanye West video for "Stronger", and it FINALLY dawns on me--

The non-rap, non-dancing parts of the video? Literally straight out of AKIRA.

I should have noticed that earlier!! Sheesh.

xD really? I got it the first time...the video I thought was pretty cool (& I'll admit, so's the song).

Well, being that a)I was too busy being amused by Kanye's rhyme schemes (Appolonia/Isotoner, Klondike, blonde dyke, etc. :p ) and the Daft Punk sample to make the connection, and b)It's probably been a good 5 or 6 years since I've watched AKIRA, believe it or not...
