11 Animes Like Akira

Neo-Tokyo is put in danger by a top-secret military project that transforms a member of a biker gang into a psychic psychopath who goes on a killing spree and can only be stopped by a youngster, his buddies who are also in a biker gang, and a group of psychics.

2019. Tokyo, now known as “Neo-Tokyo,” has been completely reconstructed and is now a bustling metropolis 31 years after it was destroyed during World War 3. Shotaro Kaneda is the head of a motorcycle gang that he runs. Following the disaster, his close friend Tetsuo was transported to a top-secret government institution for treatment. He has telekinetic abilities but makes the decision to put them to bad use rather than to good use. Because he possesses the same abilities as Akira, the force responsible for the destruction of Tokyo in 1988, it would appear that history will be repeated.
