I can't really say much yet maybe if they have someone who is a fan of the Anime or comic in charge perhaps things will be better. The Matrix is inspired by Akira so perhaps the Wachowski brothers would be good for the job.

The Matrix was inspired by many things. The Wachowski brothers are huge comic book fans. The Neo "taking off" scene at the end was an easy reference to Superman for instance.
I think enough people hated Matrix 2 and 3 (I was not one) that putting them on Akira may be a death knell for it. The people who actually like Matrix 2 and 3 are in the minority.
The best bet would be to put people in charge that are fans of the original manga (not the Wachowski's) and then not interfere. I'm sure they can find plenty of people that are fans of the originals.
