ICv2 has obtained a photograph of the Deluxe Collector's Edition of the Akira DVD (see 'Akira Deluxe DVD Packaged in Collector's Tin'). The simple, but elegant design features the Japanese characters for the title scrawled over the English title. The vibrant red color and the dynamism of the rendering of the Japanese characters demonstrates how the art of calligraphy allows the artist to express emotion -- the tension and conflict of the film are clearly suggested.
