The Akira Book: Katsuhiro Otomo: The Movie and the Manga by Jeremy Mark Robinson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 35.4MB
Overview: This is a book about Akira, the manga and the 1988 movie, and about the creator of Akira, the genius artist Katsuhiro Otomo. There are very few genuine auteurs in Japanese animation, since the animation industry, like all filmmaking on a large scale, is truly collaborative. However, you can definitely see elements in the films directed and written and supervised by Otomo that are auteurist; he has his own visual style but also his own concerns, thematically, politically and psychologically.
