I Can't Get Enough Of The Akira And Simpsons Mash-Up, Bartkira
I have a lot of love for The Simpsons and the graphic novel and accompanying film Akira, but I never imagined I would see them coupled like this.
Bartkira is the product of a collection of hundreds of artists working together to redraw the entire Akira graphic novel series (which is made of six compendiums each about 300 pages) replacing it all with Simpsons characters.
I have been loosely following its slow progress for some time, but recently the project released a two and a half minute trailer fully re-animated with Simpsons characters. You can check it out below.
It's weird, unexpected, surprisingly appropriate (Milhouse as Tetsuo? The crazy cat lady as Lady Miyako?) and I can't stop watching it. You can learn more about the project by heading to the Bartkira website.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
