[1][23] Some sources claim it to the most expensive anime film at the time of release,[22][23] but this claim is disputed by Crunchyroll writer Daryl Harding. [24] The teaser trailer for Akira was released in 1987. The film's main production was completed in 1987, with sound recording and mixing performed in early 1988. It was released in 1988, two years before the manga officially ended in 1990. Otomo is claimed to have filled 2,000 pages of notebooks, containing various ideas and character designs for the film, but the final storyboard consisted of a trimmed-down 738 pages. [14] He had great difficulty
completing the manga; Otomo has stated that the inspiration for its conclusion arose from a conversation that he had with Alejandro Jodorowsky. [25] He later recalled that the film project had to begin with the writing of an ending that would
bring suitable closure to major characters, storylines, and themes without being extraordinarily lengthy, so that he could know in reverse order which manga elements would make the cut into the anime and thus suitably resolve the manga's various elements into a lean, two-hour story. [26] Otomo has called making the film before finishing the manga "the worst possible idea". [27] Although he came to like having two similar but different versions of the same story, he still felt too much of the original was cut out of the film. [27] Otomo is a big fan of Tetsujin 28-go. As a result, his naming conventions match the characters featured in Tetsujin 28-go: Kaneda shares his name with the protagonist of Tetsujin 28-go; Colonel Shikishima shares his name with Professor Shikishima of Tetsujin 28-go, while Tetsuo is named after Shikishima's son Tetsuo Shikishima; Akira's Ryūsaku is named after Ryūsaku Murasame.
"[90] Writing for Syfy Wire, Eric Frederiksen said: "Berserk is one of the longest-running manga, and consistently one of the darkest out there, but also one of the most emotionally powerful and rewarding. "[77] Writing for Crunchyroll, Peter Fobian expressed: "Berserk is one of the most deeply personal
works I've ever read, both for myself and in my perception of Miura's works. The series' transformation in the
past 30 years artistically and thematically is so singular it's difficult to find another work that comes close. "[230] Miura's artwork has been particularly praised by critics. Bertschy said that the artwork is where Berserk "really shines," adding: "The cross-hatching work, the level of detail, it's all stunning. Every page is a work of art, each scene drawn with the outmost attention to detail and atmosphere.
