Description

A landmark film that introduced much of the Western world to modern anime, AKIRA is a marvel of modern animation. Based on Katsuhiro Otomo's 2,000 page manga, AKIRA begins on July 16, 1988, when what was believed to be an atomic bomb was dropped on Tokyo, completely destroying the city and marking the beginning of WWIII. Thirty-one years later, Neo-Tokyo has sprung from the ruins of the old city and is experiencing a prolonged period of civil unrest caused by student uprisings, political instability, and, most destructively, biker gangs. One of the members of these biker gangs, Tetsuo, is detained by the military after a near accident with a strange young boy. After recognising innate psychic ability in him, the military begins using Tetsuo as a test subject to channel Akira, a source of unimaginable power and the cause of the explosion that destroyed the original Tokyo. However, the military's plan backfires, and instead of locating the source of Akira's power, Tetsuo becomes a medium for it. Endowed with incredible psychic powers that make every one of his destructive impulses a reality, Tetsuo begins to go on a rampage that threatens to completely annihilate Neo Tokyo. Combining a complex science-fiction universe with intricately detailed animation and phantasmagoric images, AKIRA is a stunning visual experience and a disturbing vision of the future. 124 minutes

"a cult classic from the 80's" by kaneda (Belgium) on Feb 28, 2015

Akira is 1 van de pioniers waardoor anime bekend werd in het westen
van de wereld.
Kort gezegd deze film is een classic die in iedere anime collectie zeker
niet mag ontbreken.
En ik vind het echt een topper.
Van de klassieke 80's animatie met een killer verhaal
over punk motorrijders in het jaar 2018 in neo tokio.

dus als je deze science fiction flik nog niet gezien hebt.
then what are you waiting for go out there and buy this movie.
Its worth every penny.
