This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1987 for the first release of Akira.
Japanese B1 (71 x 103 cm, 27.8 x 39.4 in) very large size.
In our many years, we have only seen two other copies of this poster which had some condition issues such as pinholes. This poster is one of the best condition wise that we have seen. There is a 1cm small tear on the left hand edge that has been repaired. Once framed this will not be noticeable at all. We have taken this into account when pricing.
Akira (Japanese: アキラ) is a 1988 Japanese animated post-apocalyptic cyberpunk action film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, produced by Ryōhei Suzuki and Shunzō Katō, and written by Otomo and Izo Hashimoto, based on Otomo's 1982 manga of the same name.
