Akira/Trivia
< Akira
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: A rather unusual case. While bookstores in North America at least carry the manga, good luck finding more than one volume for sale at a time, maybe two if you're lucky. Depending where you live, you'll find either the first, second, or sixth.[1]
- Hey, It's That Voice!: In the German dub, one very minor character that isn't even named and appears in only one brief scene got the voice actor of Bruce Willis (Creator).
- Names to Know In Anime
- Mitsuo Iwata (Kaneda), Nozomu Sasaki (Tetsuo), Mami Koyama (Kei), and Yuriko Fuchizaki (Kaori).
- The first dub featured Cam Clarke (Kaneda), Steve Kramer (Roy), Barbara Goodson (Takashi/Kaori), and Bob Bergen (Masaru/Kai).
- In the more recent dub, there's also Johnny Yong Bosch (Kaneda), Wendee Lee (Kei), Michelle Ruff (Kaori), and Jamieson Price (Colonel Shikishima).
- Throw It In: The scene with the black circles just before the final scene and credits is actually a pencil test.
- ↑ And the fact that Borders has declared bankruptcy and closed its doors certainly hasn't helped matters.
