Otomo’s Akira

Twenty Years ago Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira changed the perception of Japanese animation of the West’s.

It is said that Matrix was an inspiration of Akira. Quote from Empire Magazine: “No Akira, No Matrix. It’s that important”.

Akira project was based on 30 years from 2019, in which Tokyo was destroyed in World War III. The government captures a guy to do some tests on him, which gives him new powers.
