Akira: Movie (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Description

Neo-Tokyo is about to E X P L O D E! Akira isn’t just a movie – it’s the
genesis of a genre. Katsuhiro Otomo’s landmark cyberpunk classic obliterated
the boundaries of Japanese animation and forced the world to look into the
future. Akira’s arrival shattered traditional thinking, creating space for
movies like the The Matrix to be dreamed into brutal reality. Without Kaneda
and Tetsuo, without espers and psionic assassins, without that badass
motorcycle – our world would be a far less exciting place to exist. But the
manga became the movie and the movie became a phenomenon and the world took
notice. Now, Akira is everywhere. If you can’t see it in the streets – if you
can’t feel it crawling around inside your brain – then you have yet to be
initiated. What. Are. You. Waiting. For? • Listen How You Want: The 25th
