Painstakingly animated by hand, the care that went into Akira can be seen in every frame, each bursting with an unfathomable range of colour. There’s 327 shades in the film, 50 of which were invented for it.
That's crazy. How do you 'invent a color', let alone 50?? (Apologies if this has been discussed in this thread already)

newish hipster bar in nyc Outer Heaven is very Jap-themed. Running the length of the main room is a thin bu awesome collaged mural of Akira. Sort of dominates a pretty muted interior. They also have a great Sorayama print up that's hard to miss.
Quick search of the web and couldn't find an image of it. Anyway, great bar and great bar for Akira fans. It's in the old Experimental Cocktail Club space on LES.
