Beyond Ghibli | AKIRA & the Masochism of Katsuhiro Otomo @BeyondGhibli | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
30 years ago Akira debuted to a world that wasn't ready for it. Three decades later and it's still as important - and as fun - as it ever was. In this video I take a look at the creation of Akira, the legacy it left behind, and the madman responsible for it all: Katsuhiro Otomo.
