Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Akira', set in a futuristic dystopian Tokyo, Japan, is one of the most famous and influential anime films for a reason. It transcended traditional Japanese animation boundaries and involved highly philosophical ideas and social issues. 'Akira' is a very ambitious film, and its ambition back in the late 1980's set the standard for anime films ever since.
