Masters Of Divinity

In this week's edition of MODAKU, Moderator JP brings us the cyberpunk classic AKIRA! Akira was what started it all in the U.S. It's influence is felt in not only countless anime, but also in countless science fiction films and television shows. With its technical achievements in animation, its intricate storytelling, and twisted visions of body horror, AKIRA remained a cult classic for years in the U.S. among nerds and movie buffs. It wasn't before long that its influence bubbled to the surface, inspiring countless artists and filmmakers, making a lasting impact in the mainstream. This is Father Chuck and Matt's first time watching AKIRA, but JP first watched it when he was way too young to be exposed to body horror. What did they think? Press play to find out. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/masters-of-divinity/message
