I’ve just finished reading book 4 in this series and I am looking forward to reading the concluding two volumes. The special edition DVD arrived in the post for me this morning and I am looking forward to seeing it again maybe sometime over the weekend.<\/p>\n

My first introduction to Akira and indeed to Manga was about 6 years ago. I was baby-sitting my sisters while my parents were out at dinner and I was watching tv in the lounge fairly late (well at the time anyway) and I was button bashing. I hit on Channel 4 and there was a “Futuristic sci-fi” movie about to start so it all sounded good. The start blew me away completely. It was absolutely stunning.

It turns out it was the start of a Manga season that Channel 4 would run on and off over the years and it was easily the highlight. <\/p>\n
