Listen "28 | Akira"
Episode Synopsis
1988's Akira is legendary. From it came incredible leaps in sci-fi movies, the cyberpunk genre, adult animation, and what I guess we call Japanese anime today, but the real question is: why meat baby? In this episode, the gang discusses Akira from many angles, and while it is not without its faults as a film, it provokes a lot of thought about humanity's potential future in a cyberpunk setting. Plus, what about the manga of the same name, and how does the movie fare with so much of the manga omitted? And what about that ending? Content warning: strong language, meat baby.
