The Japanese website Anikore has revealed that it will host screenings of Katsuhiro Otomo 's Akira anime film on November 21-22 and December 5 in Tokyo and in Kawaguchi. The film will be presented in a 4K resolution transfer from an HDCAM remaster, and with 5.1 channel audio. Mitsuo Iwata , who voiced Kaneda in the film, will attend the screenings.

The film will show in two different venues:

November 21 (Theater Shinjuku) - 2,500 yen (about US$20) for unassigned seats

11:30 p.m. - 1:45 a.m.

2:30 a.m. - 4:45 a.m. (November 22)

December 5 (Kawaguchi Skip City) - 3,000 yen (about US$20) for unassigned seats

In addition, Anikore notes that there might be a third screening in Kawaguchi Skip City if there is enough demand. The December 5 screening will also feature a talk segment from Iwata, as well as a raffle open to all attendees with the opportunity to win rare merchandise, such as figures, posters, and theater program leaflets.

The screening is also offering 10% cash back to student attendees if they bring their student ID to the screening.
