Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA Anime Explained - The ULTIMATE Akira Analysis
Whether you're an anime fan, a manga fan, or both, Akira is one of the classics. I personally think Akira is one of the greatest stories ever told, today we'll discuss all the reasons why.
But more importantly than discussing why it's a great story, in this ultimate Akira analysis, we'll break to what the Akira anime means by breaking down both the manga, the anime, and comparing the two.
01:00 INTRO
01:50 Akira's History
02:27 Akira - The Plot
04:28 Connecting the Dots (Akira vs Tetsujin 28 Go)
05:53 Why Akira's Animation Style is Special
09:39 Why The Akira Anime is Incomplete
10:24 GAPS (Akira Manga vs Anime)
13:33 Akira's Themes
You'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about Akira and then some.
Because we'll be discussing gaps between the manga and the anime, so just a heads up,
SPOILER ALERT!
Love it or hate it, I think Akira is one of those anime features that changed anime forever.
