Envying those currently enjoying Akira (1988) in IMAX. Last time I saw it on the big screen was the not-so-big screen at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London in the 90s. Still blown away!

Watching #Akira on IMAX 🥰

Another trip to the #IMAX in Bradford. This time it was for Katsuhiro Otomo's anime epic, #Akira which I hadn't seen at the cinema since 1991.

Remastered in 4K it was incredible to look at, but it was the audio for me that truly stood out. An amazing score, every bit as captivating as it was 35 years ago.

Saw the 4k restoration of Akira at The Garden Cinema in London, and it was absolutely mind blowing! Loved the experience of sharing it with a couple of the other cinema goers who have never seen it before.

Holy shit, #Akira on #IMAX was absolutely incredible. Last time I saw it was on a 24” widescreen Trinitron CRT from DVD lol. Wow wow wow 🤩
So good to see Akira in the cinema again this morning. https://akirafilm.co.uk/
The new restoration is so clean. Got the VHS, The DVD.. Going to have to triple dip in again and get the 4k version when it's out.
.. I'm going to have to read it again aren't I!

I'm not a fanatic about it, but I'd prefer to get volume 6 in left-to-right. But I don't know how to tell. The library listings don't seem to say. A quick web search hasn't helped.

Does anyone know what keywords to search on, or have a pointer to a guide to editions? Even just the cover art of different editions would help.

TIA.
