About this product
Product Information
- A landmark film that introduced much of the Western world to modern animé, AKIRA is a marvel of modern animation. Based on Katsuhiro Otomo's 2,000 page manga, AKIRA begins on July 16, 1988, when what was believed to be an atomic bomb was dropped on Tokyo, completely destroying the city and marking the beginning of WWIII. Thirty-one years later, Neo-Tokyo has sprung from the ruins of the old city and is experiencing a prolonged period of civil unrest caused by student uprisings, political instability, and, most destructively, biker gangs. One of the members of these biker gangs, Tetsuo, is detained by the military after a near accident with a strange young boy. After recognizing innate psychic ability in him, the military begins using Tetsuo as a test subject to channel Akira, a source of unimaginable power and the cause of the explosion that destroyed the original Tokyo. However, the military's plan backfires, and instead of locating the source of Akira's power, Tetsuo becomes a medium for it. Endowed with incredible psychic powers that make every one of his destructive impulses a reality, Tetsuo begins to go on a rampage that threatens to completely annihilate Neo Tokyo. Combining a complex science-fiction universe with intricately detailed animation and phantasmagoric images, AKIRA is a stunning visual experience and a disturbing vision of the future.

Just like the re-mastered DVD - Akira
I was VERY impressed with Akira for the PSP. When I ordered it, thought I was going to get a blurry, 80's version of Akira that was cut down to only fit 3/4 the screen like most UMD videos. Quite to my surprise, I got a very sharp anamorphic full-screen, re-mastertered, dolby digital Akira. I am very surprised how those UMDs can hold a whole movie like that, and retain full DVD quality. Obviously other companies like MTV video are just cheap, because I really felt like I was watching it on my big screen tv. The PSP's screen is crystal clear, and makes Akira of the most enjoable UMD videos to watch. -Jeramie Griffor

PsP means Akira
It's ok to have some Japanese great masterpiece anime on a futuristic console in the XXI century. In fact is not ok.. it's sublime! Otomo's "Akira" couldn't be more appropriate to be seen, than on your personal PSP console. Future meets future after 21 years. Don't miss it! Enjoy!
