About this product

Product Information

A landmark film that introduced much of the Western world to modern animé, 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 recognizing 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.

I would like to thank the seller for being so honest. I would definitely recommend buying from this seller. When I placed a bid, the seller explained that the puzzle had come apart while in storage allowing the pieces to fall out of the frame. Knowing that I could fix it, I offered to buy it anyway. And the seller gave me a generous discount. I received the package quickly. It was just as the seller described. Therefore, I was able to put it back together. It is an awesome puzzle.

  • MASTERPIECE! FOREVER ONE OF THE GREATEST EXAMPLES OF ANIME EVER!

    This anime has been widely regarded as the anime that brought interest in adult anime to America. Even though this movie originally came out in 1988 the animation quality is brilliant! For some decades Japanese animation had seemed to be trailing behind it's American counter parts, however when this movie came out, every could see that Japanese anime had just jumped up some noticeable notches. The animation effects are stunning. I don't want to give too much away but closer to the end there are mutation scenes which are astonishing to behold, and the way the way different powers are animated is perfect. Also, it's not just the animation, but the story is great! It is a movie based on the graphic novel by the same name from author Katsuhiro Otomo (who also directed the movie). The graphic ...

  • Katsuhiro Ottomo's Akira

    Akira is a fascinating sci-fi/anime classic. In many people's as well as my own opinion it is the best animated movie. With a compelling story of a world set in a post World War 3 Tokyo, biker gang members stumble across a government experiment. After they come across this experiment, it all goes wrong, leading to a final confrontation that will mean sacrifice, respect, and honor. If you like '80s-'90s anime or films like Armitage III, Barefoot Gen, and/or Jin Roh, this film is for you.

  • Thank you

  • Poor packaging, ripped envelope, no padding, damage.

    Metal case came in a thin paper envelope only. No padding. Came with a hole in the envelope and the corner scratched. Side also dented from lack of padding. Disc are very good, collectors case is not.
