## Description

Akira (1989) - 4K & Blu-ray : Katsuhiro Otomo: desertcart.co.uk: Everything Else

Review: Do not pass this by - I had heard of this film but up until now I had never watched it, as I had no idea what anime was all about (apart from fond memories of Laputa when I was small) so I always passed it by. How glad I am that I have finally gotten around to watching this amazing film. The film is set post WW3 in neo Tokyo. It is a place of grandeur and degeneration, in long shots we see the futuristic beauty of it all; colourful and sparkling with the feeling of unbounded possibility, but close up things aren't as rosy as we see decay in the vice of its inhabitants and in the dirt and graffiti which litter the streets. It is in this juxtaposition of these contrasting states as shown in the artwork of the setting that permeate to the very core of what the films storyline is about. On the surface it is all punks and futuristic motorbikes; the evils of authority. It is beautiful and gruesome all at the same time. Violent with hints of a darker depravity and it all comes together under a tale of an almost eternal repetition of decay, collapse, rebirth and growth. It is a story of cycles, of journeys journeyed without the questions of beginnings and endings. The soundtrack bubbles away in the background giving a nice techno industrial sound to the events which include gang wars, casual violence, futuristic bike battles, rebel explosions and government clean ups. Our main character is a boy named Tetsuo, a weakling coming to terms with the forced development of some pretty god like powers, powers which were also previously held in the narratives past by a character called Akira, whose strength led to the collapse of the city. The story comes down to control; who controls this power and what they will do if they can't control it. The animation is solid; being a good mix of detail and focus, which conveys well a gritty and violent world and its effects on the characters that live in it. This is an anime that lives and breathes its harsh, often brutal, realities and as such you will not be blinded by bold colours and strong contrasts because unlike a lot of anime Akira's pallet is darker, drawn more from the brown and grey range. The characters draw you in very well and make sure that you are actually emotionally invested in what happens to them by the end of the film, which actually gets more gruesome as we head towards the ending... or beginning. This anime is a must watch; it had action, violence, a brilliant cinematic style and plenty of philosophical muse points to keep you conversing into the early hours of the morning with whoever you choose to watch it with, even if you end up talking to yourself.
Review: Amazing - As with manga, I was worried that maybe I wouldn't enjoy this anymore after so many years, but Akira looks as amazing as back then. Animation quality beats most of modern shows, it's just so detailed and expressive. You'll hardly see any still scenes in Akira, and certainly not any where characters freeze only to move their lips while talking. If you know, you know. Everything in the movie is just top quality, including the hand painted backgrounds that are basically pieces of art. I highly recommend rewatching Akira just to focus on those, you'll be surprised with amount of detail. I do see people complain about the plot, but personally I don't have a problem with it. You can't squeeze entire manga into just one movie, so of course there will be a lot missing from the story but it doesn't make it worse or incomplete, just different. I do recommend reading manga at some point though, it is made of awesome. As for collector's edition of Akira, it comes in a sturdy case with acrylic slip. Inside there's a set of four gorgeous postcards with Otomo's art, a folded poster and an extra disc with bonus features. Small touches that make it worth the extra money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Anime Like No Other
*by P***L on 16 December 2025*

For many years I have had a Blu-ray editor and this UHD 4K transfer is magic to the senses. The colours pop along with the sleek hand crafted animations and luxurious painted backdrops. The audio offers three different dubs the original Japanese and two English ones - I chosecthe two latter and I did have a preference for the 2001 audio performances. Overall an decadent steel book design that perfectly captures the movies atmosphere.
