Episode 63: Akira (1988)

Way back in episode 23, we dissected and discussed Akira, the seminal manga by Katsuhiro Otomo. Occasionally, we do enjoy talking about film or television adaptations of comics, and this week we decided to tackle the Akira anime film, which is rightfully hailed as a landmark classic. We talk about cyberpunk, various things we appreciated about the movie, and some of the differences between the manga and the anime. Join us as we bask in the glory of one of the most significant and artfully crafted films of all time!
