Our latest Animaysterpiece event begins with Katsuhiro Otomo’s legendary anime film Akira. In 1988, a mysterious explosion destroyed Tokyo and ushered in World War III. The year is now 2019, and Neo-Tokyo exists in a state of fear, corruption, and division. A member of the Capsule bike gang, Tetsuo, is kidnapped by the military after colliding with a strange, psychic child. His best friend and gang leader, Kaneda, joins an underground resistant movement in hopes of rescuing him. Meanwhile, Tetsuo starts developing psychic powers of his own. Corrupted by his new abilities, Tetsuo rampages across the city in order to free and confront the fabled esper Akira. Kaneda is determined to get through to his friend, but will a (really cool) motorcycle and a laser gun be enough to stop the coming apocalypse? This one is so serious we’re not even gonna give you a comical list of things to do for today’s exciting episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
