In this video, we explore the origins of Akira's iconic Neo-Tokyo, delving into its roots in post-war Tokyo and the visionary ideas that shaped it. We uncover how Katsuhiro Otomo's experiences and inspirations, including the chaotic streets of 1970s Tokyo and the influence of youth biker gangs, contributed to the creation of this futuristic megacity. We also reveal the surprising influence of German filmmaker Fritz Lang, whose 1920s film Metropolis inspired Akira's cityscape. Join us as we trace the architectural and cultural elements that led to the birth of one of the most iconic anime settings ever created.
