This was an interesting one to look up. I mostly did this episode cause have how often I see the recreation of the motorcycle scene from it. I had no idea that it had such a high budget but it makes sense. Some of those scenes would be hard to animate today so I can only image how much it took to animate them back then.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0960028/?ref_=tt_ov_drhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(anime)https://movies.fandom.com/wiki/Akira/Productionhttps://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/story-behind-film-akira/https://www.linearity.io/blog/akira/https://row.oneblockdown.it/blogs/archive/akira-anime-sabukaru-history-lessonhttps://cinemadailyus.com/news/akira-manga-artist-katsuhiro-otomo-working-on-new-project/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2014/05/03/books/book-reviews/akira/https://medium.com/anitay-official/katsuhiro-otomo-retrospective-akira-7e00d49ca56fhttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/o/otomo_katsuhiro.htmhttps://akiramanga.comhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(manga)
