The material had been so deeply mined by stories I’d seen a hundred times by now that any of the originality was lost, not to mention that aspects of the story didn’t make any kind of sense under scrutiny.

At the same time that a supposed freedom fighter is trying to aid a child in escaping from government detention, teen gang leader Kaneda (voiced by Mitsuo Iwata) is joined in battle between his crew and the rival Clown gang.Tetsuo's bike suddenly explodes and he is taken prisoner by the top-secret Akira Project where he is subjected to a series of tests which unleash his latent psycho-kinetic powers.

Kaori tries restraining Tetsuo while Shikishima unsuccessfully offers to heal his injuries and help control his abilities. While average animation fans may not run toward an essay of this manner, those who have been longtime fans of Akira will find much to appreciate and consider.
