Part of my Half-Life Fact Files series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDmcwfn8y0lMtlqcpUhggk0FB1EC2i3iB

This is a demonstration of several references found in the Half-Life series to Akira, the famed Japanese manga originally published in 1984.

Special thanks to Barnz for informing me of these references, to Quadrazid for teaching me how to achieve free camera demo playback, and Brett Johnson himself for confirming the references in question.
