Neo-Tokyo is about to explode!

"Style and substance run neck and neck in this thrilling, bold landmark film that just refuses to become dated." - The Guardian

"Accept no substitutes; 23 years on, Akira is still the genre's crowning achievement." - Total Film

"A phenomenal work of animation with all the hallmarks of an instant cult classic." - New York Times

"Easily the most breathtaking and kinetic anime ever made." - Village Voice

Product 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 Anniversary release of Akira features both English dubs that have occurred since 1988, letting you choose the track that’s best for you.

• An Audiophiles Dream: Includes the “Hypersonic” 24-Bit, 192kHz Dolby TrueHD remaster of the original Japanese audio track.

• Exploding with Extras: Packed with over 120 minutes of on-disc extra features; including the “Restoring Akira” documentary and original storyboards for the anime.

I love this movie, and this edition has a beautiful menu which I've found can be uncommon for an old anime that originally came to me when I was young via bootleg VHS digitally copied into an MP4 (I'm not old enough to have "been there" when Akira and Ghost in the Shell hit the States, however I do have my own nostalgia). However what's important is that it arrived well packaged with zero scratches or dings to the case, and it is actually a NEW copy. No fingerprints or little white lies. This is really a factory new DVD and the shipper knows how to send a DVD safety through the mail system. Perfectly satisfied.

I've seen this movie a couple of times before on DVD and seeing it finally in high definition I fell in love with it all over again. Yes, it's a long, bizarre, dark and gritty vision of the (then) future. Yes, we are approaching the real 2020 Tokyo Olympics (a year late because of the pandemic), so let's hope no teenagers blow up into giant blobs after trying to kill everybody. This cartoon is definitely not for kids, having quite a bit of blood, brutality and some nudity. This is a the mature blockbuster that shocked the Western world into the knowledge that Japanese Anime had come into its own.

The artwork is incredible (and the style has thankfully not been copied much, although fans of Dragonball Z will see clearly the inspiration their shows have taken), with fluid animation and lifelike, frightening images of destruction and illusion come to life. The troubled characters try to live within the bizarre nightmare world in which they are placed. The story follows a couple of young men caught up in a government scheme to bring about a psychic super-being: a human weapon that cannot be controlled, a warning about tampering with the mind and doomsday weaponry as well as the loss of innocence and cheapening of human life when overwhelmed by technology, greed and the lust for power. It's a thrill ride that inspired many later on down the line besides Dragonball, but also the Matrix and Blade-Runner. Sci Fi fans will recognize inspiration taken from the Star Wars movies and Tron, and video game fans of the early 90's will see images shown here (Turtles in Time for one). Next to the works of Studio Ghibli, this is probably the best example of big budget anime as mature entertainment one can find (mature as in 'not just for kids').

Package includes the DVD version as well as the Blu-ray, extras and you can listen to it with or without subtitles and have the choice of original Japanese language or two different English tracks (from the 80's and a new one done in 2001). This is worth it for collectors of the genre not just fans of the movie.

My favorite anime film. Love the manga series too which is more detailed. Great art work, not for kids. Wish modern anime did more sci-fi action.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Quality Restoration

My first viewing of this film was back in the early 90s, and it was a tenth generation VHS copy, passed from fan to fan via pen pals, the way we got anime way back when. I remember that copy was so full of sync loss and color bleed that it gave me a headache.
Seeing AKIRA on Blu-ray for the first time on my 12 foot projection screen was like experiencing the world of AKIRA for the very first time. The quality of image transfer to digital master was amazing for the age of the film. An excellent job of cleaning up, degraining each frame, was done.
The audio seemed quite good for a film of this era, too.
About the film itself, the animation work was groundbreaking for it's era, and it holds up well against many of today's anime in that respect. Lip sync was one of the unique breakthroughs in this film (I learned about this twenty years ago in a documentary called "Akira Production Report". They recorded dialog first, and let the actors act naturally, then adjusted the animation via the Quick Action Recorder to match the speech with precision.
AKIRA depicts a distopian world, one I would not want to live in. But Since this is a 25 year anniversary edition, and a classic, I wanted to own a high quality copy. Every anime fan should own this.
I expected there to be more bonus material on this disc and was slightly disappointed that "Akira Production Report" was not on the bonus material section. It was an excellent overview of how the film was made.
