Worth it
Pretty good for the price, comes with the 4K disc, blur ray disc and a bonus blu ray disc(not sure what’s on it) the hardcover feels more plastic it 100% not steel I own a couple of steel book movies and can feel the difference. But it is still high quality and sturdy. And also comes with a booklet too with an explanation on what motivated the studio to put akira on 4K and an interview with the original voice actors from Akira. I am huge fan of Akira and anime in general so when I saw it got remastered in 4K I did not hesitate to pre order. I had just received this today as of 12/22/20 so I will pop in the movie soon and give an update on the quality. Apparently even the sound has updated which is exciting.

A great movie. I had forgotten a lot of stuff cuz I hadn't seen it in ages. It's weird, cool, nutty and disturbing.

Well worth the watch for fans of anime and holds up amazingly well to modern animation standards.

5.0 out of 5 stars About the 2-disc DVD set
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2001
Verified Purchase
The 2-disc DVD set of AKIRA surpasses in many ways even the excellent Criterion's laserdisc edition from 1992. The brand-new video transfer is noticeably better: colors, especially the primary reds and greens, look more brilliant, flesh tones are more realistic, and there is a bit MORE picture at the bottom (in particular, the shot at time 1:16:23 reveals part of Kaneda's crouching body that was not seen on old transfers). The 5.1 English track, though not state of the art, is highly active and satisfying. The new English dub and subtitles are better written and spoken, making the characterizations more real and the story more comprehensible. In the scene where the colonel meets the senator (Chapter 8), the old English dub had the senator sounding concerned and supportive. On the new dub, he sounds cold and indifferent, in keeping with his subsequent body gesture of fiddling with his plants. The new dub also has characters speaking in correct pitches -- Kei's voice is now lower, and Masaru no longer sounds like an old man, but like a child, just like on the Japanese track. Also welcomed are the correct pronunciations of Japanese names: AH-kee-ra, KAH-nee-dah, KAH-oh-ri. Last but not least, the new dub makes more frequent uses of strong language to enhance reality. The DVD supplements include interviews of the voice actors for the new dub, who certainly deserve to be mentioned.
Here is one thing that this DVD pales in comparison to the Criterion LD. The LD included still-frames of the entire first issue of the original Akira comic novel. It is a shame that this DVD does not include even one screen shot of the actual comic strips that inspired this movie (it does include shots of the COVERS of the comic novels) just to benefit those who have never seen them or do not own the LD.
Other DVD supplements include an excellent 48-minute making-of documentary (the Criterion LD had excerpts of it). It has plenty of behind-the-scenes footage: artists drawing pencil tests, actors recording their lines, musicians composing a score with wood xylophones, photographers taking shots of finished "cels". We are told that it was not the norm in Japanese animation films to record the dialogs before drawing the pictures, as it was done for AKIRA. The youthful director Katsuhiro Otomo appears in his own 30-minute interview segment (not on the LD), where he recalls various processes of making the Akira comics and the Akira movie, and speculates on what he will do next. Yet another half-hour segment, "Akira Sound Clips", explains how the movie's score was conceptualized and recorded. The most prized supplement on the DVD is perhaps the mammoth collection of the film's storyboards, character designs, and background designs. The storyboards, done by Otomo himself, are the most meticulously designed ones I've ever seen; each of them is denoted with Scene/Cut number (under "S" and "C" on the left), notes, dialogs, and time of duration of the shot. To help locating a storyboard among the 4500 of them, the printed chapter index is cross-referenced with Scene/Cut numbers of its corresponding storyboards. Rather disappointing is a short featurette that tersely describes the new video transfer of the DVD with only interviews of 3 technicians and no demonstration of the restoration by way of before-and-after comparisons.
There is also an interesting feature called "capsule option". When it is enabled, a capsule icon pops up on the screen from time to time while the movie is playing, and when you activate the icon, the screen pauses and shows you English text translation of the Japanese words on the screen -- traffic signs, graffitis, postings, etc.

"Akira" in 4K is a monumental achievement in cinematic restoration, offering a breathtaking visual experience that honors Katsuhiro Otomo's iconic masterpiece. An essential for any 4K collection.

The Good Things
*Loads of fantastic action.
*Fair (but notable) amounts of bloody violence.
*Despite the age, the animation quality is good. Backgrounds are extremely detailed and artistic. Video remastery has made the colors very vivid.
*Art design is great. Even though the characters look a little weird, they are memorable. Above all, the city stands out and the bikes are cool.
*Interesting story. It's actually very thick with politics and far-out ideas, and may come across as convoluted at first. It's good, because it keeps you thinking (could be bad too, because it may be confusing).
*Some deep themes to think about (about society and humanity, for example). Lots of fascinating ideas.
*Interesting cast of characters, which are fairly well-developed.
*Although die-hard fans may prefer the original 1988 dubbing, I believe that the new English dubbing on this disc is great. The voices match the characters better (Kaneda no longer sounds like a sufer dude), it's not as goofy (the General no longer growls all the time), and some phrases sound better.
*Bizzare (but good) music.

The Bad Things
*Even with the new English dubbing, some of the dialogue is goofy or corny. Some of it is laughable (could also be a good thing, because it's fun and memorable).
*The two main characters like to scream at each other a lot ("Tetsuo!!!!!" "Kaneda!!!!!!!"). It's kind of funny.
*As noted above, plotline can be confusing.
*Storyline is shortened for the film format, and is therefore different from the manga (albiet the movie is a good adaptation anyway; both the comic and the film were made by the same man).

It is easy to see why this film stands out as one of the most essential anime films ever made; it is to anime what "Star Wars" was to live-action movies. It is loaded with innovative action scenes; most of them still blow me away. It is fast, furious, and completely unrestricted. Above all, it has exceptional quality in all respects (art, story-telling, music, sound, etc). The story may be hard to follow in some spots, and the characters may not be as well-developed as in other films (like "The Ninja Scroll" or "Berserk"). Still, it is wildly entertaining and somewhat thought-provoking. I highly reccomend this film to anybody who is even remotely interested in anime (and doesn't mind seeing some blood).

It is English dubbed (the new 2001 dubbing, not the old 1988 dubbing), but I am sure that it also includes the original Japanese dubbing with English subtitles.

Disc one includes a cool subtitles track that translates background graffitti. Disc two includes shed-loads of still image galleries (something like 4,000 images!). It also has a few feauturettes and the trailer.

It lives up to all the hype anime fans have been saying about Akira. So much attention to detail has been put into this anime. The 4K presentation is crystal clear and it is probably the best animated feature I have ever seen. Transformers: The Movie 4K is close to Akira's quality.

Der japanische Cyberpunk Actionfilm "Akira" kostete ca. 6 Millionen Dollar, spielte jedoch an den Kinokasse fast 50 Millionen Dollar ein. Macher des Comcs und auch Regisseur des Kultfilms ist Katsuhiro Otoma, der mit diesem Anime einen der bedeutendsten und stilprägendsten Genrearbeiten schuf. Die Verfilmung wurde im Jahr 1988 realisiert.
Der Film spielt im dystopischen Jahr 2019 und erzählt die Geschichte von Shōtarō Kaneda, dem Anführer einer Biker-Gang, dessen Freund aus Kindertagen, Tetsuo Shima, nach einem Motorradunfall unglaubliche telekinetische Fähigkeiten erlangt und schließlich inmitten von Chaos und Rebellion in der weitläufigen futuristischen Metropole Neo-Tokio einen ganzen Militärkomplex bedroht.
Er wurde als Meisterwerk bezeichnet und von Publikum und Kritikern allgemein begeisternd aufgenommen, insbesondere im Bereich Animation sowie in den Genres Action und Science-Fiction. Er gilt als Meilenstein der japanischen Animation und als der einflussreichste und kultigste Anime-Film aller Zeiten.

2019, nach einem Weltkrieg, der durch die plötzliche Zerstörung Tokios am 16. Juli 1988 ausgelöst wurde, wird Neo-Tokio von Korruption, regierungsfeindlichen Protesten, Terrorismus und Bandengewalt heimgesucht. Während einer gewalttätigen Kundgebung führt der hitzköpfige Shōtarō Kaneda seine Bōsōzoku-Bürgerwehr, die Capsules, gegen die rivalisierende Clown-Gang. Kanedas bester Freund, Tetsuo Shima, rammt versehentlich mit seinem Motorrad Takashi, einen seltsamen Jungen mit paranormalen Fähigkeiten, der mit Hilfe einer Widerstandsorganisation aus einem Regierungslabor geflohen ist. Mit Hilfe seines Kollegen Masaru nimmt Oberst Shikishima von den japanischen Selbstverteidigungsstreitkräften Takashi wieder gefangen, lässt Tetsuo ins Krankenhaus einweisen und verhaftet die Capsules Gang. Während eines Verhörs durch die Polizei trifft Kaneda die hübsche Kei, eine Aktivistin der Widerstandsbewegung, und bringt die Behörden dazu, sie mit seiner Gang freizulassen. In einer geheimen Regierungseinrichtung entdecken Shikishima und sein Forschungsleiter, Doktor Ōnishi, dass Tetsuo ebenfalls über starke psychische Fähigkeiten verfügt, die denen von Akira ähneln, einem Jungen, ebenfalls mit paranormalen Fähigkeiten, der für die Zerstörung Tokios im Jahr 1988 verantwortlich ist. Kiyoko warnt Shikishima vor der bevorstehenden Zerstörung Neo-Tokios, aber das Stadtparlament weist Shikishimas Bedenken zurück was ihn auf die Idee bringt, Tetsuo zu töten, um eine weitere Katastrophe zu verhindern. In der Zwischenzeit flieht Tetsuo aus dem Krankenhaus, stiehlt Kanedas Motorrad und versucht, mit seiner Freundin Kaori aus Neo-Tokio zu fliehen, aber die Clowns überfallen sie. Die Kapseln retten Tetsuo und Kaori, aber Tetsuo leidet unter starken Kopfschmerzen und Halluzinationen und wird erneut ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. Als Kaneda ihren Plan zur Rettung von Tetsuo und den anderen Espern belauscht, schließt er sich Keis Widerstandszelle an. Im Krankenhaus versuchen die Esper (so werden diese Wesen mit paranormalen Fähigkeiten genannt) , Tetsuo durch Halluzinationen zu töten, doch der Versuch wird vereitelt. Ein frustrierter Tetsuo sucht nach ihnen und tötet alle Pfleger und Milizionäre, die ihm den Weg versperren. Die Widerstandsgruppe infiltriert das Krankenhaus und Kiyoko zieht Kei und Kaneda in Shikishima und die vergeblichen Versuche der Esper, Tetsuo aufzuhalten. Kiyoko erzählt Tetsuo, dass Akira, der sich in einem Kryolager unter der Baustelle des Olympiastadions befindet, Tetsuo mit seinen Kräften helfen könnte. Nachdem er alle um ihn herum zurückgewiesen hat, insbesondere Kaneda, flieht Tetsuo aus dem Krankenhaus, um Akira zu suchen. Kiyoko nutzt Kei als Medium, um Tetsuo aufzuhalten, und befreit sie und Kaneda aus der Militärhaft. Shikishima inszeniert einen Staatsstreich gegen die Regierung von Neo-Tokio und weist seine Streitkräfte an, Tetsuo um jeden Preis zu vernichten....

Die Geschichte ist rasant inszeniert und verfügt über eine starke Komplexität. Er übte auf alle Fälle einen großen Einfluß auf und machte vielen Science Fiction und Fantasy Fans in Europa und den USA mit der langährigen japanischen ästhetischen Traditon des Anime bekannt, diese Werke voller ausufernden Phantasie. Das innovative Artwork übertraf fast alles was andere Trickfilmstudios bishlang hervorgebracht hatten. Die vielschichtigen Figuren und die drastischen Gewaltszenen sprachen vor allem auch ein jugendliches Publikum an. Kernpunkt der Geschichte ist die mentale Auseinandersetzung der beiden Freunde, die auf eine harte Probe gestellt wird. Otomo hat es auch verstanden die apokalyptische Szenerie mit der Wut unzufriedener Teenager zu koppeln. Die Jugend, die Otomo hier zeichnet, ist wild, unberechenbar und chaotisch. Tetsuo ist der Prototyp des höchst angenervten Jugendlichen, der nun aber genug Macht hat, seinen Weg ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste zu durchlaufen. Bis zum bitteren Ende...
