Hector, I can't wait to hear what you think of the manga! I re-read it every few years. The manga took Otomo approximately 10 years to complete and this film was released when vol. 3 of 6 was out (I believe - my facts could be off) the movie sort of covers what happens.. in the manga, we follow the gang post-akira white ball of energy into a post-apocalyptic neo-Tokyo. Easily one of the most impressive technical achievements in comic history. Hope you talk about it in the future! You three are great! Keep up the anime movie coverage! I recommend Perfect Blue or Paprika if you're interested in more psychological horror!
