),including some documentries on making the film which has been done on alot of specs and dubs:eek: .
A animation that came out in '87, is still outstanding!

hmmm..
had the original vhs for 4 years and the pirated vcd(bought it at the local pasar malam hehehe

)

Yeah, that movie still holds its own in today's market. I remember seeing part of it in 5th grade on the Sci-Fi channel and it was my first glimpse into the anime world (pretty good movie to start out on, huh?). Incredible extras on the DVD, too. Hell, I'd buy the movie just for the nifty tin it comes in

Bubsy · August 2nd, 2001, 23:12

It's a good collection item, for sure:eek:

Right... check these dates

1) http://us.imdb.com/Title?0094625
2) http://www.uk.scifi.com/reviews/akira.htm
3) http://www.play247.com/play247.asp?p...R1&title=93859

In other words:

1) The internet movie database says it was made in '88
2) The sci-fi channels resident anime expert says it was made in '88
3) My favorite DVD store says it was made in '88

Hell the movie even starts with a nuke hitting tokyo in... guess what '88.

Enough said. Check your disk again.

Well now this is interesting. All of my sources say '88. Hell 2 of those are reviews of this specific DVD. For now I'll back down, until I find out the cause of the discrepancy.

Ok guys CHECK THIS OUT!

Quote taken from http://www.akira2001.com/html/thelegend.html
the OFFICIAL website

Quote:

In 1987, Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo began work on the animated feature. Akira was released theatrically in Japan in July 1988 and in the United States in December 1989 where it ranked in the top 60 for 20 weeks on Variety's weekly theatrical box office sales report.

In otherwords the film was first released in 1988 like I said but is COPYRIGHT 1987 when the film first went into producion.

I hope that clears up any confusion.
