Just got out of watching Akira in a theater in Berlin! A friend had tickets and their date bailed last minute so I got invited. I had seen it before but many years ago and on a small screen. The animation is insane, the amount of effort that must go into every frame is mind boggling.

@liaizon the backgrounds are so massive, those giant paintings of the city scapes that the camera pans over

@liaizon don't forget the soundtrack! I don't think Akira would be nearly as memorable without the music complementing the animation so perfectly

@liaizon There's this thing too: https://www.museumsportal-berlin.de/de/ausstellungen/akira-die-architektur-von-neo-tokyo/

I really liked it, even though I haven't watched the anime. No pictures allowed though (?)
