AKIRA — Informative Video on the Differences Between the Anime and Manga
Akira is a mind-blowing film that helped popularize anime in the United States. It's the first anime movie I had ever seen and changed the way I look at animation forever. Michael Truly and Casey Redmon of CineFix — with help from Tom Pinchuk of AnimeVice — have created a 12-minute breakdown of the differences between the seminal anime and it's manga source material. This is easily the most informative thing you will watch today. The most interesting thing I learned is that the movie only scratches the surface of the manga story. I think it's entirely possible to do a huge multi-season Game of Thrones-style adaption of the manga, because even a movie trilogy might not be long enough.
