Ever wondered what J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter would have looked like if it had been an anime made in the 1980s? Neither had we, but now that we’ve seen it we think it’s the <hyperbole but for good reason> BEST THING EVER </hyperbole>.
Join us after the jump for bike-based quidditch, a cat-eared Hermione, Tetsuo/Voldemort battles and more.
Coming from Nacho Punch, professional makers of pranks, parodies, and hilarious animated shorts, this video combines some of the best moments of the Harry Potter movies with ’80s anime smash Akira.
Prepare to be dazzled.
This and a Studio Ghibli/Pokémon crossover all in one week? You’re too good to us, internet, you really are!
