Akira is an invincible detective boy that goes investigating the robbery of Mona Lisa. Quality animation from Knack Productions, released on Anime Kingdom -DVD. This is the real Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo can ski into spruces. But what is this Anime Kingdom -DVD anyway? It's a DVD made by Anime Kingdom Ltd. which consists three Chargeman Ken! -episodes and three Knack's unreleased pilot films. Ironically, Anime Kingdom Ltd. has nothing to do with the company that produces all the DVD's animations, Knack Productions. Also it's unclear why the episodes 16, 50 and 51 were taken onto the DVD from all 65 Chargeman Ken! -episodes. Anime Kingdom -DVDwas published in 2008, which content got eventually into Nico Nico spawning a cult of Knack into japanese networks, Akira being the second popular anime from the DVD after Chargeman Ken. Back to Akira: Akira's production time is unclear, however Mona Lisa was displayed for a period at Tokyo National Museum from April to June in 1974, the drawing style is very similar to Chargeman Ken! and the voice actors are same as in Chargeman Ken! and Dame Oyaji. Also, prime minister Kakuei Tanaka is in the animation the Prime Minister of Japan, who was resigned from his duty in December 1974. From this point, it is inferred that Akira was made around in summer of 1974.
