In 1988 Akira, an animated adaption of the Japanese manga of the same name, was unleashed in theaters.

A few years later Katsuhiro Otomo's masterpiece of cyberpunk cinema was released in the US and went a long way towards showing a lot of Americans that cartoons didn't have to be just for kids.

This is the story of how Akira went from page to screen and from Japan to the United States. This is the history of Akira (1988).
