Akira1988

Conceived on an unprecedented scale in ambition and technique, Otomo’s rich visuals and awe-inspiring action depict a post-apocalyptic dystopia where the threat of feral biker gangs is dwarfed by the rise of an uncontrollable psychic.

#CyberApril# 来自1988的世纪预告，内核是悲观主义对于近未来的忧惧。亦如大友克洋笔下的赛博城市，高楼零次栉比、夜间金碧辉煌，实则如下水道般浊流暗涌，所以导演不惮于毁灭东京两次。新世纪的科学果实堕入叵测的统治者怀中，第三次世界大战的假想从暴走游行、军队叛乱、迷信活动大张旗鼓开始，天真忠义的起义军、贪婪背信弃义的革命领导人、着魔的科学家、枪炮下弃如敝履的游民、中二的救世主，阿基拉是人类世纪所有潘多拉魔盒的总和。大友克洋真诚地将科技爆发的20世纪喻为孕育怪胎的幼儿园，怪诞玩具游行和伤心的童年往事，将指使人类在21世纪开启自毁进程。届时《圣经》中的洪水招之即来，将机械与肉体媾和的巨婴吞噬，象征人类文明的城市不再有霓虹，虚假繁荣不再。玩具梦魇、残枝淋漓的走廊、机械肉体巨婴的吞噬、东京万劫不复的场景，大为颤栗

The most expensive animated feature ever made in Japan (over 1 billion yen) and it's easily the most impressive, as well.
