"The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves." đź’ŠÂ
It is time for our third installment in our Midnight Rewind segment! This week, we are discussing possibly the greatest anime of all-time: Katsuhiro Ôtomo's 1988 masterpiece Akira!
The year is 2019. 31 years after being destroyed during World War III on July 16th, 1988, Tokyo (now 'Neo-Tokyo') has been rebuilt and is a thriving metropolis.Â
ShĹŤtarĹŤ Kaneda is the leader of a biker gang. His friend Tetsuo is injured in an accident and taken to a top-secret government facility. After developing uncontrollable telekinetic powers, Tetsuo turns against his friends and the city.
