Akira [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD]

Boasting a strikingly creative vision of a postnuclear urban landscape, this 1988 adult anime classic centers on a teen who becomes involved in dangerous psychic experiments. Directed and co-scripted by Katsuhiro Otomo (based on his graphic novel), the film contains brilliant, dreamlike and often disturbing imagery, marking a high point in the achievements of Japanese animators.
