The Release of Akira
Katsuhiro Otomo was already quite famous by the time the money came in to produce a movie from his most famous manga creation. His segment (An Order to Cease Construction) in 1987's Meikyo Monogatari (aka Neo Tokyo) boded quite well for a full length film version of his work. There was huge anticipation as each new manga volume arrived on the shelves in Japan. When the movie was announced, the market shuddered a bit in anticipation of what was coming, but many had been disappointed by huge buildups before. The film that emerged was anything but a disappointment. It was Akira.
