Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s 1988 sci-fi classic Akira reaches unprecedented levels of quality, made possible by an economic boom in Japan during the 1980s. Ôtomo’s massive vision and attention to detail resulted in a celebrated movie that brought the dynamic artistry of Japanese animation to the West. What’s interesting is that much of Akira was actually inspired by New Hollywood movies and Western animation-releasing to the world a style that embraces an idea of ‘borderless’ creativity.
