Akira

Through Cyberpunk

Biker gangs, psychic weapons and a military-run Neo-Tokyo rebuilt after a war. The film that made the West take anime seriously.

Through Biopunk

A government experiment awakens powers in a biker whose body then grows out of control. Its flesh-swallowing climax is a landmark of animated body horror.

Through Apocapunk

Neo-Tokyo, rebuilt after a blast that started World War III, heads for another. Cyberpunk at heart, but framed by and ending in the apocalypse.
