About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

The Benchmark that all other creators of anime should aim for
Akira is a must for anyone's DVD collection whether your an anime fan or not. Set in a post apocalyptic Tokyo it's a delight to watch and as it's been remastered it looks awesome on a big TV. don't miss out on owning a copy of probably the best anime ever made (wicked city comes a close 2nd)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nice to have
This set is nice to have, since it has the production report and all the other extra stuff that was missing from the Blu-ray. The picture quality is not very good, but of course its all stuff made in the 80s, so the source is mostly going to be video tape anyway. This might also have been one of the reasons that it was not included on the Blu-ray, the source material simply was too low quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
