WORD OF THE DAY! 5/24/14!


Neo Tokyo [nee-oh-toh-kee-yoh]
noun
1. Anime.  In the manga and anime film, Akira, the city of Tokyo was destroyed by an apparent atomic bomb explosion on Dec 6th of 1982 that sets off World War III. By 2019, Neo Tokyo is a new city built on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay that is gripped by drug crime, anti-government terrorism and gang violence.

EX. Neo Tokyo never looked better than in this amazing fan trailer that serves as an homage to perhaps the most influential anime film of all time. Seriously, if we got an Akira film with these sorts of production qualities (Zach Snyder would honestly be a director capable of pulling off such a vision-- just look at his film adaptation of The Watchmen), I would be happy to pay to see that in IMAX.
