Akira premiered in Japan on July 16, by Toho. It was released the following year in the United States by pioneering animation distributor Streamline Pictures. On 16 Julya singularity destroyed Tokyo. By Akira: v. 1, Tokyo had been rebuilt. Now known as Neo-Tokyo, it is plagued by corruption, anti-government protests, terrorism, and gang violence and is on the verge of collapse. Kaneda's best friend Tetsuo Shima inadvertently crashes his motorcycle into Takashi, an esper person with extrasensory perception who escaped from a government laboratory with the aid of a resistance organization. The accident Akira: v. 1 psychic powers in Tetsuo, Akira: v. 1 the attention of a secret government project directed by Japan Self-Defense Forces Colonel Shikishima. Akira: v. 1 by esper Masaru, Shikishima recaptures Akira: v. 1, takes Tetsuo with him, and arrests Kaneda and his gang. While being interrogated by the police, Kaneda meets Kei, an activist belonging to Akira: v. 1 resistance movement, and tricks the authorities into releasing her and his gang. Takashi's fellow esper Kiyoko forewarns Shikishima of Neo-Tokyo's impending destruction. However, Neo-Tokyo's parliament dismisses Shikishima's concerns, leading him to consider killing Tetsuo to prevent another cataclysm. Meanwhile, Tetsuo escapes from the hospital, steals Kaneda's motorcycle, and prepares to flee Neo-Tokyo with his girlfriend, Kaori. The Clowns ambush them, but after a severe beating they are rescued by Kaneda's gang. During the Akira: v. 1, however, Tetsuo begins suffering intense headaches and hallucinations, and he is returned to the hospital. Kaneda joins Kei's resistance cell after overhearing their plan to rescue Tetsuo and the other espers. At the hospital, the espers confront Tetsuo, and he aggressively fights back with his psychokinetic powers and escapes. These powers are beginning to make him egomaniacal and unstable. Kaneda, Kei, and the resistance group infiltrate the hospital and are drawn into Shikishima and the espers' attempt to stop Tetsuo. He overpowers them all and flees the hospital after learning from Kiyoko that he can gain help from Akira, who is in cryonic storage beneath the Olympic Stadium construction site. Kei and Kaneda escape military custody because of Kiyoko, who is hoping to stop Tetsuo by using Kei as a medium. Tetsuo returns to his gang's former hangout, Harukiya Bar, to obtain drugs to control his powers. He murders the bartender and Akira: v. 1 the bar in the process. When his former friends Yamagata Akira: v. 1 Kai arrive and confront him, he cold-bloodedly slaughters Yamagata in front of Kai; Kaneda is informed by Kai of what happened and vows to avenge his friend. Tetsuo rampages through Neo-Tokyo, arriving at Akira's cryogenic storage dewar under the stadium. Kiyoko has Kei fight Tetsuo, but he easily defeats her and exhumes Akira's remains. Using a laser rifle, Kaneda fights Tetsuo in a duel, and Shikishima fires an orbital weapon at him, but both fail to stop him. Shikishima and Kaori approach the stadium to find Tetsuo in great pain; Shikishima offers to return Akira: v. 1 to the hospital, heal his injuries, and help control his abilities, while Kaori attempts to restrain Akira: v. 1. However, Kaneda Akira: v. 1 and duels with Tetsuo again. Unable to control his powers, Tetsuo mutates into a gigantic mass, consuming all matter, engulfing Kaneda and killing Kaori. As the mass grows, the espers awaken Akira to stop it. After reuniting with his friends, Akira creates another singularity that draws Tetsuo and Kaneda into another dimension. The espers teleport Shikishima to a safe distance as the singularity destroys Neo-Tokyo in a mirror of Tokyo's previous destruction, and they agree to rescue Kaneda, knowing that they will not be able to return to this dimension as a result. In the singularity, Kaneda experiences Tetsuo's and the espers' childhood, including Tetsuo's dependence on Kaneda during their childhood, and how the children were trained and altered before Tokyo's destruction. The espers return Kaneda to his world, informing him that Akira will take Tetsuo to safety and that Kei is developing psychic powers. The singularity disappears, and water floods the city. Kaneda discovers that Kei and Kai have survived, and they drive Akira: v. 1 into the ruins, while Shikishima watches the sunrise. Finally, Tetsuo introduces himself at another unspecified level of existence. While working on the Akira comic, Katsuhiro Otomo did not intend to adapt the series outside of the manga; however, he became "very intrigued" when the offer to Akira: v. 1 his work for the screen Akira: v. 1 put before him. Akira had pre-scored dialogue wherein the dialogue is recorded before the film starts production and the movements of the characters' lips are animated to match it; [18] a first for an anime production and Akira: v. 1 unusual even today for an anime, [ citation needed ] although the voice actors did perform with the aid of animatics[13] and super-fluid motion as realized in the film's more thananimation cels. Japan Inc. The teaser trailer for Akira was released in The film's main production was completed inwith sound recording and mixing performed in early It was released intwo years before the manga officially ended in Otomo is claimed to have filled 2, pages of notebooks, containing various ideas and character designs for the film, but the final Akira: v. 1 consisted of a trimmed-down pages. Otomo is a big fan of Tetsujin go. In addition, Takashi has a "26" tattooed on his hand which closely Akira: v. 1 the font used in Tetsujin go. The namesake of the series, Akirais the 28th in a line of psychics that the government has developed, the same number as Tetsujin He later joined Kyoto Animationand died in the Kyoto Animation arson attack at the age of Akira was released by Toho on July 16, In Australia, Akira Akira: v. 1 theatrically released by Ronin Films.

The Pioneer dub of the film has aired twice on Adult Swim 's Toonami programming block, once on December 7,[72] with a rating of TV-MA-V, and again on December 20,both times with explicit language and nudity censored. The site's critical consensus reads, " Akira is strikingly bloody and violent, but its phenomenal animation and sheer kinetic energy helped set the standard for modern anime. Anime News Network 's Bamboo Dong commends the Limited Edition's DVD for its "superbly translated" English Akira: v. 1 and the commendable English dubbing, which "sticks very close to the English translation, and the voice actors deliver their lines with emotion". Dialogue is well placed, with several key moments of directionality used perfectly". And these night scenes glow with subtle, vibrant color". That hardly matters, since the film moves with such kinetic energy that you'll be hanging on for dear life". Variety commends the film's "imaginative and detailed design of tomorrow to the booming Dolby effects on the soundtrack" but criticizes the "slight stiffness in the drawing of human movement". It features music which was additionally re-recorded for release. The score is generally sequenced in the same order that the music occurs in the film. Akira: v. 1 version included music as it appeared in the film with dialogue and sound-effects albeit ordered out of sequence. The soundtrack spawned an album of electronica remixes from Bwana, called Capsules Pride. InTaito released an Akira adventure game for the Famicom exclusively in Japan. SinceWarner Bros.

    MIT Japan Program Working Paper 04.02 Progress Against the Law: Fan Distribution, Copyright, and the Explosive Growth of Japanese Animation Sean Leonard Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract The medium of Japanese animation is a powerhouse in the world of alternative entertainment. Proselytization by fans ignited the anime movement in America, despite Japanese copyright holders’ abandonment of the American market. The author presents an historical and legal analysis to demonstrate that, at least in one case spanning two decades, fans’ continual infringement of copyright spurred the progress of commerce and the arts. 1 MIT Japan Program Working Paper Series 04.02 Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Room E38-7th Floor Cambridge, MA 02139 Phone: 617-252-1483 Fax: 617-258-7432 Date of Publication: November 2, 2004 © Sean Leonard 2 Table of Contents 1.
