This is my filtered 10 bit HEVC / x265 reencode of [kuchikirukia's](https://nyaa.si/user/kuchikirukia "kuchikirukia's uploads") 18.2 gb release of Akira - 30th Anniversary Blu-ray, with all audio mixed down to stereo AAC. Japanese audio and English subtitle track are default. This release uses NLMeans ultralight denoising tuned for animation. #### A *Signs/Song For Dub* subtitle track can be added and the included *VobSub* subtitle track improved by using the [PATCH](https://nyaa.si/view/1125896). #### The subtitles added by the [PATCH](https://nyaa.si/view/1125896) are also in the patch's release zip if you want to mux them yourself. Here are some comparison shots of my encode vs [kuchikirukia's release](https://nyaa.si/view/1105894 "kuchikirukia's encode") Obviously there are some reductions in visual quality compared to the original in all my uploads, these screenshots should help you decide whether the reduction in quality is worth my far lower file sizes.

An explosion caused by a young boy with psychic powers tears through the city of Tokyo and ignites the fuse that leads to World War III. In order to prevent any further destruction, he is captured and taken into custody, never to be heard from again. Now, in the year 2019, a restored version of the city known as Neo-Tokyo—an area rife with gang violence and terrorism against the current government—stands in its place. Here, Shoutarou Kaneda leads "the Capsules," a group of misfits known for riding large, custom motorcycles and being in constant conflict with their rivals "the Clowns." During one of these battles, Shoutarou's best friend Tetsuo Shima is caught up in an accident with an esper who finds himself in the streets of Tokyo after escaping confinement from a government institution. Through this encounter, Tetsuo begins to develop his own mysterious abilities, as the government seeks to quarantine this latest psychic in a desperate attempt to prevent him from unleashing the destructive power that could once again bring the city to its knees. ### File details Video: 1920x1080 24 fps HEVC Main 10 Audio: Japanese; AAC Stereo (Default) English; AAC Stereo; Streamline English; AAC Stereo; Animaze Subtitles: English; ASS subtitles (Default) English; niizk ASS subtitles English; THORA ASS subtitles English; VobSub subtitles (improved in [PATCH](https://nyaa.si/view/1125896)) Signs/Song for Dub; VobSub subtitles (only included with [PATCH](https://nyaa.si/view/1125896))
