About this listen

For this new show-within-a-show, Craig and Andrew will travel to Neo-Tokyo to meet Akira, created by Katsuhiro Otomo. We're going to read this classic manga across six episodes, then close out with an extra episode on the groundbreaking 1988 film adaptation.

This is a preview of a series we’ll be running exclusively for our Patreon supporters over the next few months; we won’t release them on the main feed until the entire series has run. If you want to listen to them as they’re released, see patreon.com/overduepod for more! Episode 1 is already up!

In this episode, you'll hear us discuss our own experience with manga and anime, Otomo's background, and the story of how Akira came to be published in the US.

The episode schedule:

  • Vol. 1 - Tetsuo
  • Vol. 2 - Akira 1
  • Vol. 3 - Akira 2
  • Vol. 4 - Kei 1
  • Vol. 5 - Kei 2
  • Vol. 6 - Kaneda
  • Bonus - Akira (1988)
