We’ve never seen AKIRA… until now. 🏍️💥

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we’re finally diving into Katsuhiro Otomo’s groundbreaking 1988 anime masterpiece — the film that redefined animation, blew up Neo Tokyo, and changed the sci-fi genre forever.

Join Eli and Vince as they experience AKIRA for the very first time: from jaw-dropping hand-drawn visuals and chaotic psychic battles to deep dives into its cyberpunk world, dystopian themes, and massive influence on pop culture.

We talk about what we expected going in, how the movie actually hit us, and why AKIRA remains one of the most iconic and influential animated films ever made — inspiring everything from The Matrix to Stranger Things.

If you love anime, cyberpunk, sci-fi classics, or cult animation history, this one’s for you.

🎙️ Confessions of a Film Poser is a podcast where two cinephiles confess the famous movies they’ve somehow never seen… and finally experience them for the first time.
