So many movies and television shows owe a lot of their success to Akira. Stranger Things, The Matrix, Batman: The Animated Series – they all drew inspiration from this classic anime about a dystopian Japanese city riddled with violence, misery, and some of the coolest hand drawn visuals you’ll ever see. Is it the greatest anime feature of all time? Put on your coolest jacket and perform the sickest motorcycle slide ever while you listen to us discuss it, as well as the awesome N64 game Extreme-G 2, JT and Nathan’s Johnny Yong Bosch story, and of course the dramatic cancellation (and possible comeback) of Tiny Chef.
Akira stars Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki, Mami Koyama, Taro Ishida, Tesshō Genda, Mizuho Suzuki, Tatsuhiko Nakamura, Fukue Itō, and Kazuhiro Shindō. Directed by Katsuhiro Ôtomo.
