Fans of classic anime, here’s something for you. Manga Entertainment is excited to announce that they will be screening the cult anime classic Akira across the UK to celebrate their 25th birthday this year!
The showings will take place on the 21 September, and will play on over 70 screens – making this the widest UK theatrical release of the film since its original run!
“Iconic and game-changing, Akira is the definitive anime classic which even after decades since its initial release still holds up as one of the most thrilling and visceral films you will ever see!” says marketing manager Andrew Hewson.
“In celebration of Manga’s 25th anniversary, we will be re-releasing Akira in cinemas this September on over 70 screens across the UK. Not only that, in November we will be releasing a collector’s edition triple play – DVD, Blu-ray and digital copy housed in a rigid box, containing both English dubs as well as brand new artwork. This is an absolute must for any Akira fan!”
