The film led the way for the growth in
popularity of anime outside Japan as well as Japanese popular culture in the Western world. Akira is considered a forerunner of the second wave of anime fandom that began in the early 1990s and has gained a massive cult following since then. It is credited with setting the scene for anime franchises such as Pokémon, Dragon Ball and Naruto to become global cultural phenomena. [12][3] According to The Guardian, the "cult 1988 anime taught western film-makers new ideas in storytelling, and helped cartoons grow up". [135] Akira has influenced numerous works in animation, comics, film, music, television, and video games. [12][3] It inspired a wave of Japanese cyberpunk works, including manga and anime series such as Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita, Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain,[11] and Elfen Lied,[136] live-action Japanese films such as Tetsuo: The Iron Man,[137] and video games such as Hideo Kojima's Snatcher[138] and Metal Gear Solid,[11] and Squaresoft's Final Fantasy VII. [139] Outside of Japan, Akira has been cited as a major influence on
Hollywood films such as The Matrix,[140] Dark City,[141] Kill Bill,[142] Chronicle,[143] Looper,[144] The Dark Knight,[145] Midnight Special, Inception,[3] Godzilla,[146] Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,[147] and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,[148] television shows such as Batman Beyond and Stranger Things,[136] and video games such as Core Design's Switchblade,[149] Valve's Half-Life series,[150][151] and Dontnod Entertainment's Remember Me. [152] John Gaeta cited Akira as artistic inspiration for the bullet time effect in The Matrix films. [140] Akira has also been credited with influencing the Star Wars franchise, including the prequel film trilogy and the Clone Wars film and television series. [153] Todd McFarlane cited Akira as an influence on HBO animated television series Spawn. [154] Akira has also influenced the work of musicians.
