Katsuhiro Otomo’s legendary anime film AKIRA is now available in full 1080p HD. The AKIRA Blu-ray will feature visuals from a new Hi-Def transfer made from original materials and include English and Japanese audio and with optional English and Japanese subtitles. In an industry first, the disc will also contain a 192 KHz 24 bit audio stream.

Blu-ray.com has complete details on the remastering process.

Flashing Light’s video editor Derrick Lee has created a mashup that I’m in love with. Take Akira — the most legendary anime of all time — and chop it up with Kanye West’s Stronger and it’s just beauty to my heart and soul. Sickness.

Kineda (Kaneda) lives on!
