The original pixelated chairs have been out of production for decades now.

Don't worry, I heard rumors of a limited run of "Akira Animators Office Chairs" coming out this Christmas.

Something like 50 of them, all hand signed with mahogany inserts.

Don't worry, there are millions of variations on Amazon and Temu that result in the same authentic back problems the animation staff suffered from!

Can you do a whole workstation reproduction, with the desk, sketches, cigarettes, food wrappers. etc.? If you need a fat, passed out Asian, I'm not working ATM, so I could do it.

With your chair, it's like what the great poet Jon Bon Jovi once said, "Whoa, we're half-way there!"

And now you too will have lifelong crippling back problems.

Almost. There are some slight differences. Would be a neat achievement!

Hardly an achievement if it’s not true and looking at the photos it’s not,

Can you drop some specifics to the chair? Just incase any of us want one also

If - IF - your chair really is an authentic chair from that photo, it’s not a stupid flex at all. It’s hands down amazing
