spoiler warning
this is truly a masterpiecie that will last trough years.
at first i tried to avoid this movie because the scene where tetsuo tranforms scared me,
but after i've seen it i've realized the masterpiece that the movie was.
story: the story it's set in 2019 at neo tokyo, after 31 years after WWIII that was caused by an explosion of the subject akira, a kid that was tested to get psychics powers but those powers went out of controll and exploded.
the main charachters are kaneda and tetsuo two biker riders and childhood friends, that are part of a gang that fights against another gang called
...
clowns.
one night though when kaneda gang were riding tetsuo crashes against a weird being with the aspect of both a kid and an old guy, after this incedent the goverments comes and takes tetsuo to see if he has psychychs powers; it turns out that tetsuo has constantly growing powers that can become like those of akira.
after being tested tetsuo escape and takes kaneda bike and goes around with kaori his girlfriend, but he soons encounter some members of the clowns, kaneda comes to help tetsuo and take his bike back, but after this tetsuo starts to have some weird alucinations and starts manifesting his psychics power.
the goverment takes back tetsuo to the hospital he was tested and give him some drugs to stabilite his powers.
but tetsuo tries to escape and while he' doing that he encounters thre children's like the one that made tetsuo crash, tetsuo soon knows about the existence of akira and after having a telecinich fight with the kids he goes serach him.
i didn't really understand much of what happened next except tetsuo spreading chaos around new tokyo and being praised as a deuty, tetsuo finds akira but it turns out that he's been dead the whole time and what remains of him are his nerval strates.
tetsuo then goes to the olympc stadium with kaori, after that is arm has been destroyed by a satelite laser and when te collonel and kaneda comes his powers starts to lose controls and tetsuo transforms into a giant blob that inglobate everything, killing kaori and almost killing kaneda, but tetsuo starts to melt and the kids were trying to reawake akira in oreder to stop tetsuo.
akira apperas and there's another explosions where tetsuo and kaneda get traped, kaneda sees the past of his friend tetsuo and understands what he wanted, and also the past of akira and the kids that became like that because all of the experiment that they being trough, the kids proceeds to sacrifice themselves to save kaneda.
after the explosions al that's left of tetsuo it's nothing, tetsuo then became a new universe and movie ends with him saying "i'm tetsuo".
this story it's one of the best in anime 10/10
