- Neo-Tokyo, 2019. Civil unrest plagues the city and political factions seek to usurp power. A gang member is injured by a child Esper, and will soon awaken the power of an almighty being known as Akira. Akira is a film about nihilism and self-destruction, and a film about Japan's legacy, death and rebirth and how it pertains to the individual.

Akria is some wild shit man. Best anime of all time, and one of the most bizarre but well thought out premises. Truly a master piece. Great analysis, you deserve way more views on this!
best intro for a video essay i cant lie
Great video epic use of music, really enjoyed
Very thorough, thanks a lot, gives a lot to think about
now this is pog, subbed!
Your vids kinda give an emp lemon vibe, and thats a really good thing
Keep doing these, good luck in youtube bro.
Doesn't this movies dystopia feel oddly familiar to the political corruption, hedonism and stagnant industry and manufacturing feel prescient to the present in America.
It does...but I think these are signs and symptoms that lead to dystopia and is an outline of a super power of a country...not that it's prophetic but the traits of history repeating
awesome video!! the music’s awesome and your analysis is super interesting 😧 keep it up!
Great writing! I'd try mixing your voice a little higher than the music next time. It's makes it a little more difficult to listen to since it drowns your narration out at times.
Thanks for the tip.
You downplay the importance of Kaneda in the books.
Clearly underrated channel
interesting essay, nice job
Not sure about the whole Alpha Kaneda argument, but overall great video about the context surrounding Akira

Sorry what’re the names mapped to the time stamps for these music pieces?

You think I sound like Joe Rogan? I take that as a compliment
