“…I guess movies from America definitely influenced me. All the movies said to pack up and leave town. Basically, all the movies were about leaving home. Easy Rider was like that. So was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. All the movies were about people who were fed up with their boring lives, so they wanted to go someplace else… I really wanted to leave home too.”

    I think i watched Akira at least a hundret times. I was soo fascinated of this movie, when i was younger. But i still have to get and read the whole manga. Only read the beginning and the end.This has to change.
