You had me at new Katsuhiro Otomo movie, but to then get a new Anime of Akira AND a complete Otomo book!
Well, that is just overkill, but thoroughly looking forward to it all.
Wonder if the new Akira is an adaptation of the entire Manga?
Oh no. I can feel my anime otaku rising, rising, falling, RISING...
So, they are producing a new animated version of Akira? The article isn't 100% clear.
