It´s outstanding for the reason that Otomo can dance at all these weddings without offending any of the guests, not even one genre savvy mother in law.
Science fantasy post apocalypse cyberpunk In this exceptional case, it´s also mixed with some Asians just know how to fish and also hold the attention of an audience. This story would be better suited for older readers.A manga milestone, showing the postapocalyptic genre flexing its musclesĪ great open question, just like the origin of the behemoths in Attack on Titan. Akira is pretty violent, has quite a bit of cussing, and has some adult moments. This one is definitely one of those reads that is a slow burn, and will stick with you for a while. However, if you (or students) read it and you don’t instantly like it, give it a minute to permeate your brain and really dig in. This story is full of action, so it will definitely appeal to the fans of action-y, Sci-fi adventures. Now that I’ve read about it a little bit, I am seeing Akira influences everywhere. I watched the anime movie, read a little more about the storyline, and I can’t get it out of my mind. ***One week later*** I sat on this review for a bit because Akira is starting to crawl under my skin. Akira is pretty close to our time frame right now, so it's fun sort of fun to read a story published 30 years ago that thought the "future" was going to be so different. It has an interesting story in a post-apocalyptic world that reminds me very much of the video games I'd play on Nintendo that were set in the decimated world of the post-war 1990s.
I’m not seeing how ground-breaking it is because the ground has already been well and truly broken by the time I’m getting into manga.
However, I’m coming to this well after the series was published, and I’m seeing the fruits of Otomo’s labor. Someone even compared it to the Japanese version of Watchmen in terms of its influence. People point to Akira as being so inspirational and launching genres. As soon as I finished reading this manga, I couldn’t figure out what all the fuss was about.
