In this episode we talk about what's widely considered one of the most influential and iconic anime films of all time, Akira.  Whether you've seen this movie at least three times before (like Cisco) or never (like Mayu), join us for some ruminating on what the movie is about, why it's so enduringly popular, and how the movie version differs from the original manga!  Take a trip down memory lane, or learn a little about this titan of anime cinema.  Enjoy!

...........................................................................................

Join us to explore and dig deep into the world of anime and manga as well as the history and culture behind them through our distinct perspectives as a born-and-raised Japanese non-otaku and 30+ year American anime otaku! Get to know more about Japan and Japanese words from anime/manga at the end of each episode. (episodes may contain spoilers)
