AKIRA Creator Katsuhiro Otomo Is Writing and Directing a New Anime Film ORBITAL ERA
During the big Anime Expo in Los Angeles this week, Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo not only announced we was going to write and direct a sequel series to Akira, he also revealed that he was writing and directing a new sci-fi anime film called Orbital Era.
The story is said to be set "in the near future on a space colony under construction.” It’s also explained that the movie will be "an action-adventure story of some boys in this peculiar environment and society who keep living their lives while they're being tossed about by fate."
Orbital Era will be Otomo's third film project, which also included the 2004 movie Steamboy, which took him 10 years to complete! Hopefully, Orbital Era doesn’t take him that long! I’m happy and excited that he’s making another original film project, though!
The movie is being produced by Sunrise, and we have a teaser poster to share with you below. I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
