The film that really established Japanese anime films in the UK, Akira is based on the director's eponymous manga. In post-WWIII Tokyo of 2019, violence and chaos reign, but the masses await the second coming of the legendary Akira. An imaginative plot and striking cityscapes evoke both Blade Runner and 2001.
