To understand the importance of archiving Akira , one must first understand its artistic magnitude. Released in 1988, the film depicted a dystopian Neo-Tokyo in the year 2019—a city rebuilt after a nuclear cataclysm. The film is renowned for its immense budget (unprecedented for an animated feature at the time) and its obsessive attention to detail. Unlike many animated contemporaries that utilized limited animation techniques, Akira was animated on ones (24 frames per second), resulting in fluid, hyper-realistic motion.
