Akira 
Category: Animation
Run time: 124 minutes
Director: Katsuhiro Otomoto
Starring: Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki, Mami Koyama
Neo-Tokyo is about to explode. Adapted from the mega-popular biweekly Japanese comic strip, Katsuhiro Otomoto's Akira pares down the epic graphic novel into two hours of purely visceral animated carnage. What lacks in coherence is made up for by brutal energy, starting off with a blood soaked shooting, mutant kids on the run, a kick-ass motorcycle chase straight from Mad Max, and a riveting electronica score. Kaneda is a bike gang leader whose close friend Tetsuo gets involved in a government secret project known as Akira. On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activist, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader. The confrontation sparks off Tetsuo's supernatural power leading to bloody death, a coup attempt and the final battle in Tokyo Olympiad where Akira's secrets were buried 30 years ago.
