ANYTIME ISSUE 3
アキラ Akira
“There was everything else and then there was Akira!” Akira is one of the most famous Manga and Anime in the last thirty years: We had to address its cult status! Therefore a collection of quotes enthusiastically describing the cultural impact of Akira is one of the issue’s contributions (by Laura Egger-Karlegger and Sarah Podbelsek). A playlist inspired by Akira – mixed by Alessandro Razzi – is another outstanding contribution. Several essays are dealing with the fact that Akira takes place in a post-apocalyptic world: “Eternity through destruction” by Paolo Svaluto Moreolo analyses the apocalypse on a smaller scale and its importance for the Shinto belief. “A Spectacle Of Corporeal Mutation” by Laura Egger-Karlegger and Georg Wolf deals with the (post-) apocalypse as well as with Body Horror. Christoph Noller’s “Apocalypse Awareness” works with images of mass destruction, which appear throughout contemporary Japanese animation films. Daniela Mehlich analyses the post-apocalypse on an architectural level. With “Anyōkai” by Vinz Schwarzbauer (p9–13)and "Splendid Props" by Paolo Svaluto Moreolo (p14–15) the recurring series are continued. Furthermore, we had some amazing guest contributions by Clara Cebrian, Anna Paul and Roman Buchberger.
