Obligatory "Goodnight Punpun" recommendation. Also, the original Akira manga is a masterpiece, the movie doesn't do it justice (even though it's still pretty good).
Interesting, I haven't heard anyone rep the Akira manga before. It probably has a lot more context tham the movie
The movie covers a third of the actual story. It was made while the Manga was being published, so it left a ton out out of necessity. The biker gangs are more fleshed out, and there's a good amount of post apocalypse story telling. It is long as hell (2000+ pages), but there's still nothing like it.
Still worth noting that the movie was also done by the mangaka as well, so the Movie is more like an Alternative ending, that is technically canon in its own way.
