Akira
- Movie
- 1988
Following the disaster wrought upon the world by a mysterious being called ‘Akira’, Neo Tokyo is now in social and economic turmoil. In such a decaying city, feisty Kaneda and his shy friend Tetsuo survive by running around in a biker gang, chasing local rivals and generally evading the police. Everything changes, however, when Tetsuo crashes into a strange-looking boy during a bike chase and the military ends up taking him away. When he eventually returns to his friends, he’s no longer the same weak little boy they always knew – in fact, a military experiment has turned him into something beyond human imagination. While the military is intent on reclaiming its specimen at any cost, Tetsuo is sick of being bullied around and is about to show everyone, including his friend Kaneda, exactly who is boss.

add recAkira is a slightly similar movie to Spriggan. Kaneda slightly resembles Yu; both feature a kid gone crazy. Spriggan and Akira have similar concepts and tone.
Spriggan and Akira were written by the same author and are great cyberpunk thrillers. Akira also has a very intellectual plot and fantastic graphics and action.
Akira and Spriggan are very similar. Spriggan has many aspects that Akira has like little children with powers and lots of violence and action.Though Spriggan lacks the massive and impressive story line Akira has, Spriggan makes it up with breath taking fight scenes. They are well suitted together.
If You like one you will undoubtedly like the other. They have the same mood and feel and even share trademark grey skined children with psychic powers.

add recJin-Roh has a similar feel on the surface to Spriggan. Both are slower paced but still good. Jin-Roh is not much like Spriggan once you get into it, but i think many Spriggan fans would enjoy Jin-Roh.
Jin-Roh has a very strong overpowering millitary presence like Spriggan, with the 'single' all powerful soldier as well.

add recBoth of these have stunning visuals and fast-paced action. While the stories are different, it just seems natural that ifyou've watched one, you should watch the other.
The main character in both are over natural and have to fight in order to protect ideals with guns and blood.
A cientific plot (about human development) is behind in both too.
These two action movies are rather similar by their plot: both have their main characters to take up arms to not just defend themselves, but also their ideals and, ultimately, whole humankind. They offer a satisfactory level of depth in both the characters as well as the surrounding world. If you’re an action movie fan and liked one, I don’t see why you wouldn’t enjoy the other as well.
