The ideas naturally flowed out from my own memories. —Katsuhiro Otomo, on the birth of Akira[14] Kodansha had been repeatedly asking Katsuhiro Otomo to write a series for their new manga magazine Young Magazine for some time, but he was busy with other work for another publisher and turned them down. [15] After finishing Kanojo no Omoide. (1980) and Farewell to Weapons (1981) for Young Magazine, he started thinking of a new project. From the first meeting with the publisher, Akira was to be a short work of about ten chapters "or something like that," so Otomo said he was "really not" expecting it to be a success. [15] Otomo had previously created Fireball (1979), a series in which he disregarded accepted manga art styles and established his interest in science fiction as a setting. [6] Fireball anticipated a number of plot elements of Akira, with its story of young freedom fighters trying to rescue one of the group's older brother who was being
used by the government in psychic experiments, with the older brother eventually unleashing a destructive "fireball" of energy (the story may have drawn inspiration from the
Alfred Bester's 1953
novel The Demolished Man). [16] Otomo used a science fiction setting again the following year in Domu, which won the Nihon SF Taisho Award and Seiun Award and became a bestseller. [6] He then began work on his most ambitious work to date, Akira.
Later prints of the DVD (which
used a different cover artwork) contain corrected subtitles. Reception[edit] The English dub version of the movie was released two years after Viz Communications' short-lived first translation of the manga, and received mixed reviews. Upon release, Richard Harrington of The Washington Post criticized the violent nature of the movie and quality of the animation, saying that "watching it you will feel as comfortable as a hemophiliac in a razor blade factory". [6] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote that "in its carelessly translated and poorly dubbed English adaptation, the characters express themselves in diction so stiff that they seem ludicrously prissy". [7] In 2005, a review
from Akemi's Anime World called it "so bad it's good, and the original in the genre" and calls quality of the dub "cheesy", but "suitable". [8] The 1996 movie guide "Seen That, Now What?", the animated film was given the rating of "C", in which it is described as having a good story and impressive post-apocalyptic background scenery, being offset by stiff character animation and excessively gory violence. [9] American Wrestler John Cena has said that Fist of the North Star is his favourite anime movie. [10][11] Notes[edit] ^ The 2008 Region 2 DVD release is titled Gekijōban Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken (劇場版 世紀末救世主伝説 北斗の拳, lit. "Fist of the North Star Theatrical Edition: The Legend of the Savior of the Century's End"), distinguishing it from the Hokuto no Ken TV series aired from 1984 to 1986. The 2009 Region 1 DVD uses the title Fist of the North Star: The Movie. ^ Ōtsuka replaces Kōji Totani from the original.
