[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. In addition, Takashi has a "26" tattooed on his hand which closely resembles the font used in Tetsujin 28-go. The namesake of the series, Akira, is the 28th in a line of psychics that the government has developed, the same number as Tetsujin-28."[55] Kara Dennison of Otaku USA liked the art and the touches of humanity which help to appeal the narrative, comparing it other famous works like Lord of the Rings among other fantasy series.
