"The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves." 💊
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.
Shōtarō 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.
