COMICS, ANIMATION, FILM

The author examines the problem of adapting comic books into films on the example of Akira, a cult comic and animated film by Katsuhiro Otomo, by reviewing elements that have been particularly stressed or simply omitted in the animated film. A special emphasis is placed on the different approaches to architecture and policy, bearing in mind that, at least when talking about the latter, the comic book was made mostly for the Japanese market and the film for the American one as well.
