Subject: 80s Movie: Akira

Written By: Abercrombie86 on 09/29/04 at 4:29 pm

Seen it? its pretty darn good! :)

its a "japanese animation", or anime, movie set in the post-World War III city of Neo-Tokyo. Kanada,a member of a teenage biker gang, and his friend tetsuo get mixed up in an experement ran by some scientists, military men, and politicians. Tetsuo is visited by some childern of the "AKIRA" project, who trigger the growth of psychic and physical powers that might make him a superman or a supermonster. one thing leads to another between the gangs of neo tokyo and the law and all hell breaks loose!

one of the best movies animated or otherwise, you'll ever see.

it's my favourite anime. read the manga, the movie is only the tip of the iceberg. the comics take it beyond the movies ending with the aftermath of tetsuo's awakening.
