During the Anime Expo that takes place between July 4th and 7th in Los Angeles, a banner outside the event caught attention.
What everything indicates is the new project by Katsuhiro Otomo anime work Akira . It is not yet known exactly what the new film is about, but in the banner we can see a kind of astronaut holding a skateboard, with the acronym CCCP on the helmet, from the former Soviet Union.
Katsuhiro Otomo is the author of Akira, the manga was published in 1982, and later gained a popular animation in 1988. The story takes place in a dystopian world after the end of World War III. A gang leader known as Kaneda finds himself involved in a massive government operation when his best friend begins exhibiting telekinetic powers.
In Brazil, the work is published by JBC and already has two volumes.
An adaptation of Akira will also soon hit theaters .
