Akira & Rintaro's Metropolis: Exploring Dystopian Futures Through Anime | DYSTOPIA Pt 22
Manage episode 332371802 series 2565879
This week, it’s an Anime Special as we dive back into the world of Japanese animation and its use of sci-fi tropes to craft unforgettable dystopian visions. We’ll be exploring the groundbreaking Akira (1988) by Katsuhiro Otomo, a film that redefined anime and dystopian storytelling with its portrayal of a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo. Then, we’ll move on to Metropolis (2001), Rintaro’s stunning adaptation of Osamu Tezuka’s manga, which presents a vibrant yet deeply flawed futuristic city.
Join us as we discuss how these anime classics tackle themes of power, technology, and societal collapse in their richly detailed dystopian worlds.
